    Poor thing. Such a dull, drab space. Finally – a space that makes mine look better………..NOT!!!

    I’m spray painting the base of my ironing board today–what a great idea. Her sewing space is spectacular!

    gorgeous! I love the organization of the fabric, notions and buttons, and white is the perfect backdrop for all the pops of color!

    Her space looks very much like her fabrics – fresh and colorful. She is an amazing woman with all that she accomplishes.

    Noticing that many “where I sew” contributers have bright spaces painted white or nearly white and accented by the rich colors of the stash fabrics. What a lovely “blank” canvas for the design process.

    I really like that the space is either white or cream. It keeps it looking so fresh and helps the fabrics stand out.

    Her cream-colored space makes the perfect backdrop to the wonderful, saturated colors of the fabric with which she quilts. There’s a lesson there for me.

    My sewing has grown so I’m in the process of redoing my little 8×7 multipurpose room so it’s more sewing and less multipurpose. These articles are very inspiring. Love the colors.

    I wonder if she would let me come see it in person, since I live in the Nashville area also. She has a wonderful place to create!!!

    i love how the color pops in such a small white room- the red chairs are a great accent, and of course the fabric makes it beautiful! how does she keep the fabric from getting dusty on open shelves? or is that only my problem with a dog ;)
