Anything Goes Mondays #74

For those of you that have been following along my blog and Anything Goes Mondays might have noticed that today was supposed to be a host blog post.  On the 1st of each month we have a host for Anything Goes Mondays, and today it was supposed to be Jackie from NW Patchwork, but I was unable to get hold of her.  She's not been blogging since March of this year and she has not responded to my emails.  I sincerely hope all is well with her... but we will continue as before and today's linkup will resume as usual.

Anything Goes took a break for a few weeks, and during that time I made a few small changes in my sewing room.  I gave my sewing room and good and proper cleaning.  Dust is a big problem, especially this time of year.  So I cleaned out every little corner, and that was when I decided to move my fabrics from my fabric shelf to large drawers.

     

I am glad I decided to place the fabrics inside these large drawers, you will not believe how much sun damage my fabrics have because of it.... not to mention the dust.  It sure looked pretty on the shelf but it was NOT the best way to keep my fabrics clean and safe from damamge!

I don't have the most practical sewing room regarding storage and I have to make do with what I have, wall space is very limited so this tiny piece of wall space is all I have to personalize my room a bit.

Guest Host for Anything Goes Mondays - Paula from The Sassy Quilter

Hi there! Paula here from over at The Sassy Quilter. I am super excited to be guest hosting the Anything Goes Linky Party today. I have been quilting for over 8 years now and blogging for about a year and a half. I am currently trying to save the world! ....one quilt at a time that is. It's a tough job, but someone has to do it:)

I love quilting and sharing this fabulous craft with anyone who is willing to learn. Currently I am working on the Aviatrix Medallion Quilt by Elizabeth Hartman.

Aviatrix Medallion Quilt by Elizabeth Hartman

This is a new one for me, never done a medallion style quilt before. It's a whole lot of cutting and piecing, but totally worth it seeing it come to life!

So head on over for a visit and link up all your quilty fabulous-ness and I will tell you a little more about myself!

These two beautiful table runners where made by Jayne from Twiggy and Opal.  I love the simple yet modern designs.

   

Terry from Terry Aske Art Quilt Studio made this beautiful quilt as part of her second second entry to the MQG Michael Miller Petal Pinwheels fabric challenge.  It looks quite complicated to make, but after seeing the pictures she added it really is very simple.

Anything Goes Mondays #71

With a shock I realized I never posted the link-up last week, I do apologize.  Sometimes life has have a way of interrupting, and one morning when you wake up you realize more time has passed than you care to remember.

This morning I thought of sharing a little something of my own...

I am part of a small group of ladies on facebook, each month we swap a single fabric postcard.  Last months' theme was feathers, one of my favourite free motion quilting designs.  As I was practising I made a few extra cards... If you're interested in making you're own, I shared a tutorial how I make mine, you can find it here.

Now it's your turn to link up...
