Stitch Sew & Show ~ Week 9 ~ Upcycling

 

Good Morning and Welcome to Week 9 of my

Stitch Sew & Show Linky Party

I have been working on a new project with these fabrics 

that has a time dated reveal, so I do not have much sewing to show today.

I have also been enjoying the 

#IGQuiltFest2021

Today's prompt was "Upcycling."

Apparently, I do not do a lot of upcycling of materials so this idea has prompted me to think about adding more upcycling to my quilting. 

I now have a project in mind and we are going to let my quilty muse ponder that one.

I do "upcycle" my seasonal pillows all year long.

I do not buy pillow forms.  I make covers for my pillows.

Here is a Halloween pillow being used as pillow form for an everyday pillow.

The back has my favorite

This is my Blazing Star Block Pillow Cover

My biggest "upcycle" is my cutting table.

It is an antique drafting table with a cast iron base and it raises and lowers

with the large wheel on the base.

The top can also be swiveled into an upright drawing surface, 

but I have never used it that way.

I have it set at a height that is comfortable for my back and I have a set of 

office chairs that also adjust to height for the raised table.

I love this set-up.

I also enjoy seeing others quiters' sewing spaces.

as I have found many helpful hints to improving my happy quilty place.

I would love to see your happy sewing space, too.
