Year 2 of Where I Sew Month comes to a close. Whew, what fun! The thoughtful contributions from participants always unfolds with an elegance and transparency that makes me glad to be a part of the sewing community. Thank you for making the month over-the-top-fabulous with images of your own sewing spaces. And the comments – goodness – so nice!
Personally, I’m inspired to tackle a re-organization and de-cluttering of my own sewing space. My creative chi needs some room for all the holiday sewing projects swirling in my imagination!
A full list of featured designers and your sewing room mosaic available on the Where I Sew 2012 post.

Thanks Kathy for such a great look at so many sewing spaces…from large to small, fancy and not! My ‘takeaway’ is to paint my sewing area quiet light color…seems to open up a space and make it appear uncluttered (or less cluttered!). Loved Where I Sew month.
thank you so much for the series and giveaway! I can’t believe I won! I hope to graduate from the dining room into my own space one day, but for now will work on organizing the Closet of Sewing.
Hope you do it again next year, love this series! Congrats to all the winners too!
Absolutely Kristy – I’m already thinking about who I’d like to see next. Maybe I’ll have my sewing space ready by then!
I saw the name Erin on your list and got real excited, but no email so it must be a different Erin, thanks for doing the giveaways, better luck next time I guess.
Thanks so much. I am so excited!
Thank you so much! Now I won’t feel guilty making a Pink Chalk purchase just a couple of weeks after the last one (and Ill remember to get a thimble this time!)
I had a lot of fun seeing all the sewing rooms, and have already made a couple of changes to my own space after seeing how some other people set their work areas up.
Woohoo! Thanks so much! I loved seeing all the different creative spaces!
Congratulations to all of the winners!
A fun week for inspiring us to redo our rooms.
Debbie

Congratulations to all of the winners and I’m so happy I’m also one. I enjoyed this series so much. It’s really cool seeing everyone’s spaces and what works for them. So inspiring! I have a bedroom I’m going to make my space and I can’t wait to get started! Thank you again Kathy!

Thanks so much! I enjoyed reading about everyone’s sewing rooms.
Thanks for a great series, it was very enjoyable! I’m dreaming of my future sewing space now!
Thank you for a month of enjoyable and interesting posts of “where I sew.” I appreciate the gift certificate award and will be using it soon. Thank you Pink Chalk Studio!
I used to have the same Hello Kitty sewing machine!!
Thanks so much for the tour. I came away with wonderful ideas, a new perspective on my own sewing room (I *do* have a lovely window!), and appreciation for the quilting community’s openness. The gift certificate I received from you was a splendid bonus. Thanks to all who made this such a fun month.
I just discovered Pink Chalk Studio today after reading Generation Q. I really enjoyed all the pictures and ideas for redecorating my sewing room. I can’t wait to get started!
Thanks for such a great series – I love “Where I Sew”, interesting and fun!
Congrats to the lucky winners. I’m sure you’ll have fun choosing from Pink Chalk fabrics wonderful selection
I am so excited I won. The first time ever . I also really enjoyed peaking into the sewing rooms. The fabric arrived today and love it and am anxious to get to sewing. thank you.
So much fun to look at every day — thanks for all the great designers’ links and ideas! Is this a shot of your new space above? Very cool!
Thank you so very very much! I used my gc right away and ordered some beautiful Kona solids that I have been wanting. I am thrilled to have won!!c
kathy, i thoroughly enjoyed this series! since i kind of have to improvise with my sewing space (kitchen table), i love to look at people’s spaces who have designated sewing spaces!!!
i have to say that while i loved peeking at the sewing spaces, what i found myself drawn to in *every* picture was the sewing machines. i was so curious as to what sewing machine these talented folk were using, why they chose it, their opinion about how it sews, etc. i know that this series was a lot of work, but in the future…maybe a sewing machine one??? he he he.
thanks so much for all you share with us!
I definitely love your website and find the majority of your post’s being just exactly what I’m seeking. Do you offer invitee writers to create content to meet your requirements? I might not mind creating a article or elaborating on almost all of the subjects anyone write in connection with here. Again, awesome web site!
Please let me know if you’re looking for a author for the site. You involve some really very good posts and I am I will be a good resource. If you ever desire to take a few of the load away from, I’d want to write a few articles to your blog in return for a hyperlink back to mine. Please shoot me a contact if fascinated. Many thanks!
Can I simply say exactly what a relief to get somebody who truly knows what theyre referring to on the net. You undoubtedly learn how to bring an problem to light and make it crucial. Much more and more men and women need to look at this and see why side within the story. I cant think youre less popular because you certainly hold the gift.
I am wondering which blogging and site-building platform you might be using? I’m new to blogging and have been thinking about using the Quizilla platform. Do you consider this is a good platform to start with? I would be really grateful if I could ask you some questions through email so I can learn a bit more before getting started. When you have some free time, please make sure to get in touch with me at: Bora@gekk.edu. Thanks
