Sewing and Beyond with Mary Anne Ciccotelli

Well, I have been doing some minor changes to the arrangement in my studio once again. I originally had the recliner between George and my Bernina sewing machine. I was going to have to move the recliner anytime I wanted to use George. This is exactly what I have been trying to avoid while I have been putting things away and rearranging after the remodel. I want to have things usable and not have to move a bunch of stuff when using something. So with this in mind, I moved the chair to the right and put my sewing machine next to George. I really like this set-up. I don’t know if it is the greatest for Tom and watchin TV from the recliner – we will have to see. With this new arrangement I even used George to sew some of the reusable grocery bags that the Village Squares Quilters are going to be selling at the quilt show in November. Want a designer grocery bag, let me know and we will see what we can work out.
I put the whitish drawers to the right. The color is not the best, but I have all my machine quilting books in the bottom drawer and Bernina supplies (bobbins, feet, ect) that I like at my finger tips in the open space and top drawers. The color is not the greatest – but the space to organize in is wonderful. If I find something that will work but is a better color choice I may change it.
Last night I started adding more bees to the Gift Bag Swap quilt project. I love the bees and decided that I want some more on the quilt.

The George table is great to have next to my Bernina because now I have even more work space. Do you see me smiling? I really do love my basement!
