LeeAnna has asked us to share our creative space

Thanks for visiting me in my sewing space today.
Happy Thursday!

Beautiful quilts and I'm so happy you brought them out to show. As you know, I love Dresdens in all their forms. Yes, I've progressed from a dining room to a spare bedroom sewing room but our dining area presently is where I do my cutting. I need a basement or an attic I think. LOL
ReplyDeleteThat cracked me up -- your sewing space becoming your quilting space and back to the DR you went. Haha! It's all good since you have space enough to create.
