Before & After

  Well, My studio may not be totally clean yet, 
but the rest of my loft is getting there!

I snuck a bit of sewing in today, as I need this baby quilt done tomorrow...
Just need to sit and do the binding...
 
 BEFORE &
AFTER!

POOL TABLE GONE!

The floor is scrubbed, and the rug and pieces put into place...
Yes, the rug says LIES...  I had it made back when I had an exhibition of my photographs, and it went with theme at the time... Now we have a place to use it!  I love the bright colors. 
Since we do not have a guest room, this area is going to magically become 
a guest room...

See those pipes up above, for the sprinkler system?
We're having a fabric tent made that will hang from them to give  us an instant
guest room when we need it...

At least it will give some privacy, since we do no have curtains on our windows....
I think I have a few takers already for this room...
Do I need to make a list?

Shelly? Linda? Rene?

I've played a bit more yesterday on Ragamuffin, as a few more blocks came in...
I need to add about three more inches to the right side, and I will be ready to sew it all together...  
Extra blocks that I have, will also be used on the back... 
The plan is to use everything that was sent to me... 
so if you don't see your block there, it will be on the other side...
It is a  KING SIZE quilt.

Gotta run to do that binding! 
Happy Sewing!

    The carpet is wonderful.

  8. Ooooh!!Don't get too neat and tidy or you'll tempt the sewing fairies to turn you into a straight line sewer.
    Everything looks great to me. I probably couldn't even work in a too neat space. However, you have found so much stuff that was hidden away and, sigh, think about finishing.

  13. Now that I look at it all again, what about a pale green or light blue like in that center block for binding?

    And who wouldn't want to stay in your casbah loft?
