I thought about just sharing this photo and telling you that I’m working on my Tula Pink sewalong quilt. You would never have to know what a disastrous crafter I am… It’s kind of embarrassing. My ‘design wall’  is struggling to stay put together,  I think I might need to retire it.    Heck my whole […]

    You are so funny…I guess your pegboard is a multi tasker!! I am a neat organized person but when I am in process of a project there is fabric and mess everywhere!ReplyCancel

    • Amy DeCesare

      Oh, I’m a big messmaker, too! It seems like the smaller the project, the bigger the mess I make! All through the Zakka Style Sewalong, I pulled out a ton of fabrics, just to find one tiny little piece I wanted. Then I would keep all of those out, in case I wanted to use them for a later project. I just kept building up more and more scraps until it got ridiculous, and then I started it all over. I will never learn!ReplyCancel

        We are kindred spirits! The bad part of my sewing space is that it’s in a loft outside of our master bedroom. My husband has to walk right through the middle of it each day. I leave particular piles of fabric all over and get upset if he ‘messes’ or moves it. ha! He’ll be like, really! It was in the middle of the floor, walking through here is like dodging land mines! oops.ReplyCancel

    • LindseyR

      ha! total multi-tasker. I am fairly organized outside of my sewing room, but when I get on a creative streak I am once mess after the next. Then I get frustrated b/c I can’t find anything. Imagine that! So I clean up and start the process over. Rinse and repeat!ReplyCancel

  • Kim

    I am a hot mess fo sho. And I am definitely liking where the blocks on your ‘design wall’ are going! Good luck with the eventual sewing room makeover.
    Cheers!

    Well, Lindsey, I’m a very very tidy crafter but as I do not have a Craft room or even place I always have to put out my tools and bring them to different rooms in our flat… The sewing machine too, sigh! And it’s a very heavy one. As soon as we need the table for meals and such I have to put everything away and so I end up messy too… Cry!ReplyCancel

    • LindseyR

      My space is not very big, but I am grateful for not having to put it away each time. I know that has to be very hard! Where do you store your things when not in use? It would be great to have a rolling cart of sorts that would keep you from having to lift everything!ReplyCancel

  • Nancy@OwensOlivia

    Totally messy. We could be sisters.ReplyCancel

  • Kathy

    Oh, please – Messy all the way! 50 million ideas and fabric stacks pulled for them. Cut pieces, scraps, little notes and drawings…. I will never be cleaned up. Never.ReplyCancel

  • nicke

    we are kindred spirits! my work space is terrible but i have convinced myself that sewing is a messy sport! for me anyway…ReplyCancel

  • Cille

    I’m messy too… But try to clear the table off after each project. There’s always a pile of something left though 🙂 love your Tula Pink Quilt!ReplyCancel

  • Marjorie nath

    Messy, I have trouble finding my machine alot of the time (especially now that I’m still trying to get all the material, that I have finally gotten washed, ironed , folded & put away .ReplyCancel

  • Amira@littlemushroomcap

    I am messy myself when I work.. And it’ll stay messy till I finish and I am like you too..clean up then it began again with the new project..so it is kinda endless..ReplyCancel

  • Sheila

    So messy!ReplyCancel

  • Marla

    Tidy. Except when paper piecing. I love piles and sorting things.ReplyCancel

  • Jan Barnett

    I’m lucky enough to have my own studio in my backyard just a few steps from my house…and I can just walk away each day as I’m done and pull the door behind me! Still…I designate MONDAY’s as cleanup days. My little 10×12 studio is a wreck all week long…from fabric scraps to threads and empty water bottles..but I force myself to put everything back in it’s place on Monday and start fresh. It feels good…ReplyCancel

    • LindseyR

      That is a really good idea. I know it would be more manageable and then maybe I could avoid the frustrating days when it becomes TOO messy! I dream of the day I can have a space separate from the house or at minimum with a door! To be able to close it off is dreamy.ReplyCancel

      • Jan Barnett

        I had a “wood shed” built in my yard 3 years ago ($3500). I had a porch added for $300 extra! My son-in-law (he’s a master carpenter) spent a week with me and WE turned this raw building into a studio with AC/heat, cable, wifi, refrigerator, a zillion outlets, pegboard, Formica counters, laminate wood floors and breadboard walls. I spent another week alone slapping on gallons of paint inside and out…not to mention dragging all my “stash” from the garage to my studio (and the walkway and landscaping effort!). Well worth the $8000 spent. It’s been my HAVEN since retiring just over 2 years ago.ReplyCancel

        • LindseyR

          oh that sounds amazing! I hope to have a space like that one day. I bet it is a total dream to be out there in your ‘zone’!ReplyCancel

  • Cori

    At least yours is a big fat colorful hot mess! I sew in my dining room and kitchen, using the island as my cutting table. So I have to clean up more often than I would if I had a separate room. Or, sometimes I eat dinner surrounded by stacks of fabric, hoping I don’t splash wine and spaghetti sauce on whatever I’m sewing at the moment!ReplyCancel

    • LindseyR

      I am an even messier cook, it scares me to picture my messy sewing + the kitchen. ha! I love that to quilters, creating is so important we will find room just about anywhere!ReplyCancel

      • Cori

        I RARELY cook, so it not usually a problem. Special K doesn’t tend to make too big of a mess. 😉ReplyCancel

  • Heather

    Maybe disastrous, but it looks like your life is full of COLOUR! I love that!ReplyCancel

  • Katy

    My living/sewing room currently looks like a bomb has hit it 😉ReplyCancel

  • Tamie

    I’m fairly tidy when I start sewing but in the meantime, there are stacks everywhere.ReplyCancel

  • danih03

    Nope! Not at all.sometimes I have to retake pictures for my blog because the background shows what a hot mess I am. Right there with you sister!ReplyCancel

  • Melanie

    Way to keep it real girl! My sewing space is always a mess. And then my 13 month old likes to pick through my scrap boxes… so the floor is usually a mess!ReplyCancel

  • Barb N

    LOVE that mess of yours! My sewing room is looking pretty bad right now, and I don’t know where to start on it. For one thing, I need to go on a Fabric Diet and devote time to sewing rather than buying. That would help immensely!ReplyCancel

  • darcychildress

    Ooh I love seeing the way people *really* work – always makes me feel better! And I just remembered my WordPress login so now that I can comment on your posts again I am going to go comment on a bunch of them! 🙂ReplyCancel

  • Pam

    A little of both, but I definitely need to pick things up when starting a new project. Show us the “after” pics, if you do a make over…ReplyCancel

  • Debbie

    Loving the new quilt you’ve started! And though I can be messy for a bit, I really need organization, so I’d say I’m a ‘neat’ sewist. Thanks for linking up to wip Wednesday where I’ve had the pleasure of guest-hosting this week!ReplyCancel

  • Ali M

    Ha! I came to see your Tula quilt today but glad you haven’t posted it yet. That’s about how organized I am when it comes to scraps too, so I know without a doubt that THIS IS ONE QUILT I SHOULD NOT DO!!!!ReplyCancel

    • LindseyR

      Sara got the days mixed up, so she’s posting mine tomorrow! It will be at her blog, Sew Sweetness. I’ll post a link tomorrow here!ReplyCancel

  • Zarkadia (@zarkadia1)

    Is there a tidy quilter? Because if there she/he deserves a prize!!! My room is exactly like yours…Super-messy.ReplyCancel

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts about tutuorials.

  • Hermine

    Howdy would you mind letting me know which web
    host you’re utilizing? I’ve loaded your blog in 3 different browsers and I
    must say this blog loads a lot faster then most.
    Can you suggest a good internet hosting provider at a honest price?
    Thank you, I appreciate it!ReplyCancel

    Its like you read my mind! You seem to know a lot about this, like
    you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with some pics to drive the message home a little bit, but
    other than that, this is fantastic blog. A fantastic read.

I’m so glad to finally be giving proper thanks to Eva for this beautiful mini! I lost my original pictures when our computer crashed and then I completely forgot to re shoot. The Atlanta and Ireland Modern Quilt Guilds did a swap over the summer and I was partnered with Eva of Pippa Blue. I […]

Finally getting around to sharing my tunics! Note to self :: take pictures before you wear and wash.  (I hate ironing!) First up, one in a print from Indie by Pat Bravo: I made this one the standard tunic length suggested in the pattern, but I shortend the seam under the bust by an inch […]

  • Toni

    Those are so pretty, Lindsey! I have been so close to buying that pattern a few times and I’m really not sure why I haven’t. Honestly, I think the neckline scared me a little. But I love your simple one, so I’m pretty sure you just pushed me over the edge!ReplyCancel

  • darcychildress

    Your tunics turned out so cute – I wanted to get one done before SS but now I’m thinking maybe by Thanksgiving (teehee). Oh and I LOVE that idea pouch pattern – made one last weekend and am blogging about it tonight!ReplyCancel

  • Justine

    Wow – love them both, but that Indie fabric is gorgeous
    And now I think I need to check out that pouch pattern too…..ReplyCancel

Surprise, more clutches. Am I boring you yet?   I promise to make something else soon. I joined on to sell handbags and wallets at the Beehive Atlanta starting mid-October, so I’m stock piling to fill my little space. Now it’s on to wallets while I also play nurse to my little one. She had her […]

    Oh, I went through the tonsil thing with my daughter last year and it was hard. I feel for all of you!ReplyCancel

  • Lori Smanski

    My children never had their tonsils out. But I do understand the feeling of almost helplessness. Hope she gets better soon, and all of you get back to normal. I love your clutches. Especially the leather on the corners. Makes it look so sheek.ReplyCancel

  • rumeysa

    Oh, I love them all. I adore your taste, fabric choices and very neat stitching. I’m still planning to make (just) one 🙂 I hope your daughter gets well soon.ReplyCancel

    Wonderful! I made the EXACT same clutch as your #2. I guess we both have good tastes! Haha!ReplyCancel

    These are all so pretty, Lindsey! I stopped by your space at the Collective Co-op in Woodstock one day last week – nice.
    Hope your little one recovers soon 🙂ReplyCancel

    These are so cool, Lindsey! Do you have a source for the leather? Those corners really do make them look extra fancy. 🙂
    Hope your little one feels back to herself soon.ReplyCancel
