I have a design wall!!! My sister came down and helped me do some unpacking and setting up in my sewing/quilting area. What a relief it is to finally have more than piles and piles of boxes in one room (other rooms still suffer).
On my design wall are a bunch of stars from a swap, a pair of test blocks and a bleach dispersed piece of fabric that is inspiration for an art quilt. These are all pieces that make me happy, so the might just inspire me!
My design wall is in a somewhat awkward place as it is behind the ironing board. And with unpacking, the ironing board is a mess. I have yet to find my iron, so it may be in this condition for a bit longer.
Here is the sewing area. I had to get some small stuff up on the wall so I wasn't just looking at boring walls while I sew :)
I'm still unpacking boxes and trying to find where to put things in a more compact space (though much nicer than my last digs).
And I've got the frame up and the machine on the frame. Still need to connect all the cords and the light, but we are making progress - along with the fact that some pieces got lost in the move and I'm waiting for replacement parts *sigh*
The top on the frame is one I made over 17 years ago, it was unearthed in a box last week. I think I'll work on this one first to get back into the groove of machine quilting.
The tall cabinets are for fabric storage. They have SOME fabric in them, but are still awaiting the bulk of my fabrics...that are somewhere, in a box, in the house or garage!

Love the littles on the wall! It looks so much cheerier!
I like your sewing room. Any progress is good. This is the first time I've read your blog.
First time I've read it too. You will get ALL your ducks "in a row"soon, I'm sure. Hope you don't have to wait for replacement parts very long. I'm still hunting for stuff I've put away and I didn't even pack up and move!!!
I have relative-in-law who lives in Muskegon. She has a cleaning company (offices, I Think) Drake cleaning - and then she leads an Eco-Trek team evenings, weekends, and early mornings around really nice looking places. She is on facebook and really makes me tired just reading her blogs. Her name is Lori Drake McCollum if you ever get interested in hiking, biking and exercise!!!
Keep on plugging away, you're really getting there
Looks like your sewing room is shaping up nicely. Hope you find that iron soon! Enjoy getting back in the machine quilting groove. It will be fun to see your progress.
Great to have everything coming together!
I think you win the prize for oldest UFO find!
Good to see you are getting the sewing room in order. I Love the swap blocks you have on your wall.
