A Quilting Studio in our motorhome

I would love to have someone come and organize a sewing space in our motorhome. My dh retired last year and his dream was to travel in a motorhome to visit all our grandkids (22 of them), and I had to give up my lovely sewing room and downsize to one machine and whatever I could fit in a compartment below the motorhome. Anyways, so far, I am trying to learn to do everything with a much smaller attitude. lol But, I'm not the best organized person in such a small space. haha

Gift for a friend

I'd like for my friend Ruth to have a sewing/quilting room added to her house. Right now she utilizes the kitchen table and a corner of her living room. If she had a dedicated space, she could leave everything out and work on it when she wanted to, instead of having to plan time to get it all out and then put away in addition to her working time. She is very talented and deserves more space all her own. Plus, when she caught up with all her projects, she could do a table runner for me.

A Gift to Cherish for a Lifetime

I lost all my sewing supplies during the fire in Los Alamos, NM back in 2000, and have not recovered due to illness (MS). I would LOVE to get all the tools,fabrics,threads and a new sewing machine along with a long arm quilting machine, also cutting tools, olpha mats and a long table to work at. that way I could start up a program I have in mind to help others thru sewing therapy. Oh this would be would be the most precious gift of a lifetime for me!

I know it's impossible, but the best gift would be the time to do all the quilting projects I can dream up.

Ultimate quilt gift

Since I'm starting a quilt pattern business, I'd love a fabulous studio/sewing room with a drafting table and a Statler Classic with a 12' table to make my samples. If not a Statler, then a top-of-the-line Pfaff with stitch regulator.

A new organized studio

I would love to wake up on Christmas morning to find all my fabric and sewing stuff totally organized in a quilting studio with all kinds of cabinets and a brand new commercial quilting machine in the same room!

Dear Santa,

I'd like to have a sewing machine (a little more capable than my 13 year old, $99 machine) and a variety of quality fabrics (I currently have just over three yards of fabric and no stash fabric at all since I'm a beginner). I'd also like some hand & machine quilting thread. Sincerely,

Organized and big sewing room

I would love to have the Bernina 8 series, also a nice large sewing room with built in shelves for my beautiful fabrics. And a place just for me to relax with no interruptions.

Dreaming big

In My dream house the entire second floor would be my sewing room, painted in a sweet butter cream yellow. Furniture would be made of cherry. There would be lots of windows. On one side would be my library of books, patterns and computer. Here too would be a design wall along with completed works displayed. Several comfortable chairs, for friends and I to gather and or watch tv. And so I can watch my favorite quilters and record them. On the other would be my cutting table in the center, my sewing machine, embroidery, and serger, positioned for ease of use and also the ironing station. Above the sewing machines would be an assortment of threads for anything my mind can conjure up. Lighting would be true lights for color. Beneath the cutting cabinet behind the glass door cabinets is my fabric stash. By the sunny french doors leading to the balcony is my quilting machine. The ceilings would have sky lights and my favorite music would be playing on the theater system. Happy holiday

A Long Arm Quilter

A Long Arm would be wonderful with a Teacher to help me along the way. A bright fresh Brain might help also :0))

Sunshine

I would love to have a large sewing on the main level of my house, one that has lots of windows. My husband always tells my friends I am in the dungeon
