WIP Wednesday: The Clubhouse

Yowsa! I've enjoyed squeezing in a few non-quilting projects in the last week or so. My sewing room (aka The Clubhouse) is thinking about leaving its ugly duckling stage and becoming more of a swan.

Last week I had this:


Now I have this:


Not too shabby, if I do say so myself.


It's nice to be surrounded artwork that I love.



These shelves help keep tools within reach as well. 


The cans will eventually be wrapped in colorful paper. I was inspired by someone else's craft caddy project, but I can't find it now.


That's as much as of The Clubhouse that I'm prepared to show right now. (The rest of the room is a disaster.) Just know that it's in the works.

In terms of sewing, I suppose I really only have one quilt and a block going. The rest are all in my mind.

1) Storm at Sea


2) Rose Star block



Figments of my quilty imagination:
- baby quilt with Kate Spain Terrain fabrics
- custom baby quilt for a boy
- Elizabeth Hartmann Sparkle Punch Quilt

Happy Wednesday!

I'm linking up with Freshly Pieced, Sew Much Ado, and Someday Crafts.

    1. Thanks so much! I appreciate the encouragement. It took a bit for it to come together. I really thought I'd made a huge mistake more than once in the process ;-)

    1. Thanks so much! I do love having the shelves. These came from Exposures in the mid 90s. It looks like they still carry them, but I'd love to see if someone could craft up something similar with crown moulding from the home supply store. http://www.exposuresonline.com/ExposuresOnline/Shopping/ProductDetail.aspx?CollectionID=L260056LED&ICMP=Search

    The fussy cutting on your rose and star looks great :)

    1. Thanks so much! I'm glad you reminded me, too. The feather print is by Satchel & Sage at satchelandsage.etsy.com. The "Work like a captain, play like a pirate" print is from Monorail Studio at monorail.etsy.com and the calendar is from Rifle Paper Co.
