In keeping with my new KYSS (Keep Your Sewing Simple) policy,
My latest project is a sweet little sewing room mini quilt!
It was a lot of fun strip piecing the sewing machine and spools!
And it was a great opportunity to practice free motion quilting on my Janome....

This is my second month participating in the A Lovely Year of Finishes.
It is hosted by these talented ladies....

My goal for August was to design, quilt and publish the pattern for a sweet sewing room mini quilt.
If you would like to make one of these for yourself or a special friend, the pattern is now available in my Craftsy Pattern shop!
Hope you are having a wonderful time in your sewing room!

Lovely! It is amazing what quilting will do for a quilt isn't it? Good luck with pattern sales, hope you make a mint. :)
This is just adorable. I'm in the process of setting up a sewing studio and I think this would be a perfect addition to one of the walls. Thanks for sharing!

Cute!! I wish I would remember to make minis. I never do but they are so stinking cute. Love this one.
So cute! This would make an adorable sewing machine cover also!
Love the sampler style quilting - so many fun designs. The loopy quilting around the spools and machine look like thread unraveling. I love it!
That is adorable! What a fun little quilt!

Ooh, I'd love to have that quilt hanging in my sewing room!
Loved this quilt so much I put a link and a picture of it on Quilt With Us as we just finished a strip pieced spool swap and thought yours was an outstanding and inspiring quilt. Hope it was alright to put the link and picture up, if not ok email me and I will remove it!
