I will send out the bag with all its goodies before Christmas, however, you may not get it by Christmas with the mail being so busy, so be patient, it will be coming! Keep watching, I will post the winner on the 20th by 10:00pm....(if you haven't entered by then, you are probably not going to!)
I am sending you all photos of my sewing room.....it is funny to view it from a spectator's perspective. I need the TV for company, I love those old black and white movies where the guy finally kisses the girl in the end!
Look at the weights, (the not very heavy weights)....I keep them there for inspiration. I know I should exercise, but I'd rather sew! Those green stringy things on the file cabinet? They are ironed and starched vines for an applique project....they look like string beans!
This is my cutting table, an old library table.....those patterns on the wall? They are the patterns I have designed.....can a girl be anymore vain?
This is my stash of "small pieces." I have them sorted according to color, I like to see them, it's like having your friends around all the time! I don't really have a large stash, I usually only buy what I need for a project, then keep all the small pieces and use them in scrappy quilts and doll clothes.
This is my 2004 Moda Challenge quilt entitled Folk Art Freinzy. I won first prize at the shop where I entered! That weird folk art painting on the door? It is on an old cupboard door, I bought it at a craft store. I loved it! It makes me so happy. I had my husband screw it on the door to cover the top glass so when the door is closed people can't see the mess my room is in when they pass by! My husband about had a heart attack. I told him if we move, he could fill in the screw holes! I didn't see the movie, Diary of a Mad Black Woman, but I love the title. It makes me think of, Life of a Crazy Sewing Lady. ..............Do you think that sounds like me?

Wow, your Folk Art Frenzy Quilt is GORGEOUS!! To die for. Wow, I am speechless, I hope to someday be able to make things like that. I am working on my first ever lap sized quilt, with Amy Butler squares, while I buy my Moda Cotton Blossoms supply to make my first bed sized quilt. I look forward to getting to know you through your blog, I am a sahm of 4 kids, and being crafty, and reading my blogs keep me sane.
Your sewing space is just fantastic! I love your folk art quilt. And you're a designer as well! Very talented lady! Welcome to blogland.
Love your Folk Art Freinzy quilt. You should be very proud of your patterns that you have created. I hang the ribbons I have won on my quilts. Thanks for sharing your sewing room. It is always fun to see how people design their space. Look forward to reading more about you and your quilts.
Hi Sheri,
I came by Shari's blog...and I'm so glad i did!
I love your patterns, Thanks for sharing your sewing room. It is always fun to see where people create and design in their space.
BTW...you look too young to be a grandma of those gorgeous little ones..
Hugs
I love to see other people's sewing rooms--and yours is fantastic! Thanks for sharing!
Great sewing room. I find that I am much more comfortable in an office chair though - the type on wheels and without arms. I believe they call them secretary chairs. I can turn/roll to my ironing board.
I L.O.V.E your moda challenge quilt. You are sooo very talented! Thanks for sharing your room!
hi sheri.....stephanie at loft creations sent me over.....welcome to blogland....looking forward to many more of your wonderful posts....love sneek peeks of others sewing rooms...your quilts are wonderful!!
I love seeing where everyone creates! If I had published patterns I just might wallpaper with them. :o) So very sorry but I noticed I put 2 r's in your name on my blog. Nothing worse than getting someone's name spelled wrong. My apologies.
I just came to your blog from Simplify. Your work and workspace is wonderful. I'm from western Oregon, but have a son and DIL that live in Rexburg, actually Hubbard, wonder if you might know them. If you've ever had a windshield replaced you might, A-1? Maybe someday we'll meet when I come there for a visit.
Hi Sheri Howard. I love your sewing room! It is such a happy place and so many happy things come out of there. I was sad to put away my beautiful fall table topper you made me. Thanks for being such a thoughtful person.
Cool sewing space. I love to see other people's sewing rooms. Thanks for sharing.
Love your patterns too.
Welcome to blogland
Mary

Oh for a dedicated sewing area!!! I love your stash sorted in colour.. thats how I sort mine too (but in tubs I have a very horrid cat who thinks any fabric coated surface is fair game)...
in my next life I am going to have a sewing room or less kids! LOL
I want to see your wall with the patterns on it. I love coming to your house and looking at all your wonderful things you do. I think I am the luckiest sister!!
