Sewing in the City!

I follow and read lots of quilting blogs and I'm so inspired by everything I see.  But, as inspired as all of those blog posts make me feel, they also sometimes make me feel like I'm not nearly as productive as I would like to be.  As you know, my sewing room and stash are in the country so I only get to sew on weekends or during vacation.  I do like to spend some of my weekends with family and doing things with the kids so my sewing time is somewhat limited.

Last week, I mentioned to my sweetie that I might want to bring one of my sewing machines to the city so I can get a little bit of sewing done on week nights.  Well...  I came home from work one night and he had cleaned up a huge area of the basement, put an old table in there and freed up some shelves.  I had a new sewing room in the city!  I was so excited.

The floor needs a good coat of paint, but it'll do for now!  This is my little ironing station.  Notice Bibelot and Decoy sitting pretty on that chair?  :-)

My new sewing table!  Can you see the storage in the back?  I need to move some stuff around back there, but once I'm done, it'll be perfect for books, magazines and some of my pre-cuts!

So which project did I decide to start with in my new city sewing room?  A baby quilt.  A good friend of mine just had a little baby boy and I decided to make him a little quilt from charm squares.  I found the tutorial on the Moda Bakeshop and used leftover charms I had that looked a boyish. 

Sorry about the bad picture!  The lighting really isn't great in the basement and there's no way I can take a picture outside today!

The baby's name is Adam...  did you guess?  :-)

I will hopefully have time to prepare the backing and start basting this little quilt tomorrow night so it can be quilted and delivered early next week.

Now that I can sew during the week, I might actually start blogging a little more regularly too!  :-)

Have a great week everyone and to all my friends on the East Coast... Stay Safe!
