Getting Ready to Quilt

When I am asked about my hobbies, I always mention that I like to quilt.  Which is a true statement as far as it goes.  The problem has been that I haven't quilted for years.  First, I was working and just didn't have time for my hobby.  And then last year when I had the time I didn't have the space.  I was living in a 500 square foot apartment and I couldn't quilt and still live there at the same time.  I am just too messy of a quilter.

So I have been living in my new house now for five weeks and feel that the time has come to resume my hobby.  With this goal in mind, I unpacked my sewing machine and found all my patterns, thread, scissors and quilt rulers.  But then I had a mess on my hands so I had to organize my sewing room.  I couldn't do this all myself.  I had to have Mike hang up some baskets and all my quilt rulers.  Then I decided I needed some bookcase type storage so we had to run to our favorite store (Menards) and get some.  Then Mike had to help me set them up.  Then I decided I didn't have enough so we had to go back to Menards.

Anyway to make a long story short, the sewing room is done and I am ready to quilt.  I even already had the next quilt project.  I bought it years ago at the Houston Quilt Show.  Let the fun begin.

I actually opened my cutting table and laid out my fabric!

It was suppose to be a guest room but plans change.  

Here are all my quilt or cutting rulers organized and ready for me to begin.
