Sewing and Beyond with Mary Anne Ciccotelli

Hello blogging freinds and family members. Over the Thanksgiving weekend I decided that I needed to be have more balance in my life. There is more to life than finishing UFOs. So, to make a break in my thinking I really had to just stay away from my studio for the week to try and change my mind set. I did do some hand work on Grandma’s Hexagarden. This morning I rearrange the small (8′ x 8′) bedroom that we have. I decided to put the E-bay Mania quilt on the bed. I needed something to cover the pillows since the quilt was not long enough. I pulled out one of my UFOs from 1999. I think that I will make it into a pillow sham to use with this quilt on this bed. The quilt was made with white fabric and the small UFO is a cream color fabric, but I think I will use it anyway. I am planning on painting the room and redoing the hardwood floors after the first of the year. We were going to put a full size bed in this room, but after moving the furniture into the trail set-up, I have come to realize that this room is not large enough for the full size bed. The door would just barely open and you would have really no room to move around. Too bad, it was was going to be really nice. But, I think with tweeking the furniture arrangement this room will still be alot nice for our married kids to use when they come to visit. I just have to face the plan truth – this is a SMALL bedroom. Not alot of options!

I really like having quilts that I have made on the beds in our home. I did finish the Train room quilt before I put the ban on my studio. I have loved walking past that room and seeing the bed look so nice. Tom will go into the room to admire the train set-up. I can go in with him and admire the trains (and the quilt and pillow sham).
