My Craft Room



The last couple of months I've been putting together my craft room. It's not perfect, but it's my personal "girly" space. It's a tiny room, that we used for the nursery, so it's perfect nice and bright. I just love to go in there and create. My latest project that I'm working on, I found on http://www.modabakeshop.com/2009/01/simple-little-runner.html, Camille Roskelly's design. It looked easy enough for me to try. I've been wanting to learn how to quilt, so I thought this would be a good starting project. It uses a Moda Fabric Charm pack. Pre-cut 5 x 5" squares, very nice, I don't have to cut all those squares and you get one of each design from the collection. Our quilt shop here had only 3 to choose from luckily they had one I loved, Oh Cherry Oh.



Such fun colors! The pattern calls for 40 squares and this came with 33, so I had to add seven of my own fabric on hand. I think I did pretty good. Now the layout. I kept wanting to rearrange each time I would study it, so I finally had to stop. Here it is.



Wish me luck.
