Finally! After missing two weeks of church, a week of work, having two doctor appointments, an inhaler, antibiotics, Tylenol with Codeine,Tessaion and going through more feminine than I care to count (for the stop, cross and cough. Yeah you get the picture) I finally quit coughing my brains out and feel like a normal person again.
So here I am back in the blogging world to show you what I've been doing while being housebound for two weeks. I don't consider myself crafty by any means but I do love to quilt. Here are a few pictures of my past and present quilts (some of them anyway) and a peek inside my sanctuary.
 |
| I just finished this one |
 |
| A closer look, it's called "Shoo fly" |
|
|
 |
| I made this for the quest room, has matching pillowcases |
 |
| I quilted it with pumpkins and vines |
 |
| A birthday banner. Still needs the binding. |

Before you take a look inside my sewing sactuary, remember this was our oldest son's bedroom. The walls were a cardboard brown as well as the ceiling. You felt as if you were in a box. I had the bead board installed and the walls painted my favorite color, new curtains and shades and whoa la a sewing room it became. Not to mention new bedding and cabinets of course.

| Where the cutting takes place |
 |
| Somewhere to put the quilts |
 |
| Still don't have the proper table, just not sure what I want yet. |
 |
| Where the fabric is stored |
 |
| A window for some natural lighing |
 |
| An extra bed for visitors |
 |
| My unfinished projects |

| Another one I just finished |
An when I finally was able to get out of the house, I treated myself to a new purse.
And that wraps up my crazy couple of weeks.

Oh I love the quilts!!! Such beautiful artwork! And I love your sewing room. I wish the Scrapbook Cellar looked as good as your sewing room!
Glad your feeling better. I can sympathize. I've had the same thing for 2 weeks. It grabs ahold, and doesn't want to let go.
Girl, if you can quilt like that you are quite crafty in my book! Beautiful work... that's it.. your talented. I love your sanctuary. I think all crafters (of any type) need one.. oh honey...
Wow. Those are fabulous! I love the colors you put together and I love anything Halloween.
You made me laugh with "stop, cross, and cough". I understand!
I absolutely love quilts,but I've only contributed to group efforts. Yours are absolutely beautiful. I have great admiration for you. Wow. They are truly ALL gorgeous.
Absolutely amazing.I am impressed.
Dave's grandmother was a quilter. We have several of them and they are keepsakes. My sis-in-law also quilts when she has time, but being an OB nurse doesn't leave much time to enjoy it as much as she would like.
I am ashamed to admit that when I saw your sewing room, I had a twinge of joy thinking of doing the same thing when my kids move out. :) Oh, wow, did I just say that? :)
You ARE crafty. You and my MIL would get along. She makes beautiful quilted pieces.
You poor thing!! I just became un-housebound two days ago. Not fun at all! I'm glad you are well again. Curse this winter weather....
You have some serious quilting skills!! Amazing!!
I love the purse!

Sure glad you are feeling better. You do amazing quilt work and the quilts are beautiful. I like your room too, nice! Enjoy that new purse and getting to be out and about again. Hugs
Ugh! I am so sorry you have had that crud. I have dodged it so far but I'm not going to brag because sure as anything I will get it if I do.
Not Crafty? Ya, right. Your quilts are beautiful. Now I am a crafter from way back but I could never get the whole quilting thing down. (Although if someone puts the quilt together then I love the hand quilting part.)
By the way, men will NEVER understand the whole "stop, cross, and cough" thing. Sanitary napkins are a must.
I think I have what you had...ugh! I do love all your quilts and that darling new purse, I just got a new one too..fun! ;D
I'm glad your feeling better. Those quilts are awesome. You are so talented.
Write it in Lipstick
You're very talented! Lovely sewing room too.
Such beautiful quilts, Saimi! Glad you're getting better...
Thanks for your kind message on my blog :-)
Awe, I LOVE your sewing room!! Can I just say I wish I had one all my very own? And your purse is to die for. So very cute!
My favorite of your quilts is the black and yellow one. So pretty!!!!
And I'm also very glad you're doing better. We went through the nasty cough spell too. (stop, cross, and cough.... LOL!!)
This is "not crafty"... I think that makes my version of REALLY not crafty look a little more like "just stick it in the dustbin and say the kids made the mess :)
glad you're feeling better... I had to "stop, cross, and laugh" at your description :)
sorry you have been so sick. I have a son who has been sick for over 3 weeks.......some BAD bug is out there.
I am still giggling at the "cough and cross" comment.
Your quilting is lovely. I have NEVER put anything like that together. My mom used to quilt award winning quilts at the fairs.
and that purse.......LOVE IT.
So sorry you were sick! And please don't tell me that you did ALL THAT in two weeks? Because then I will feel like a complete and utter failure simply because I managed to do laundry while I was home sick last week, LOL :)
i love them! gorgeous! this is something i want to do eventually, when there aren't babies wrestling dogs at my feet. :)
Hope you are feeling better.
You do a great job and I LOVE your room! Such a happy place.
From a girl that loves purses...now I want to go get a new one today, thanks :/
Have a great valentines day!
Amazing quilts, darling purse and so glad you feel better!
This is such a happy post! Well-- not the sick part.. but you make me feel foolish with all that you accomplished during your sick time!
I LOVE-LOVE your yellow walls! They are the same color as my kitchen.. but it looks so happy in your rooms with the bead board!
I am DYING Over your quilts! You have quite the talent lady!!!!
I LOVE the white fluffy bedspread. It makes me want to be a guest!!
The purse? I want one. Please share with me where you purchased it. We havent met in person.. so it's ok to have the same purse right??
I didn't realize you were so sick, I'm sorry I should have brought you dinner. I'm glad your feeling better :)
And the purse, want one!!!
I'm so sorry you've been sick!
Your quilts are just amazing!! WOWZA! I am truly impressed!!
So sorry to hear that you were sooooo sick . . . :0( Everyone I know who is getting the "crud" makes at least two trip to the Doc! Glad you are feeling better!
Wow! You are so talented! I would love more than anything to be able to quilt! Just not in the genes.
Happy Valentine's Day!
Hugs,
Barb
You are a quilting fool!
I am screaming at how cute those quilts are!!!! You are too talented for words.
I want to see the cabinet with the fabric in it! I LOVE to touch fabric, it's a sickness.
Speaking of sickness, my goodness I'm glad you are feeling better!
Wow!! You are AMAZING! I love the quilts! I saw some beautiful quilts like that once and bounced over the saleslady to ask the price. I just knew I was going home with one. It was over $400 I think. Ouch. It's worth the money, though, I know!
On another note, do you mind stopping back over to my blog to vote for your favorite Captcha Balderdash definition later today? I don't feel like I can truly calculate the votes until I hear from you! I will understand if you are not able to, but I thought I'd ask. Thank you! :)
Glad you are better. You are one busy person!
It is terrible to have to "stop, cross and cough"! So glad you are feeling better.
The quilts are amazing!
You made quilts when you were sick? Well this chick who doesn't even make the bed when she's healthy is appropriately impressed, and they're beautiful too.
You are so talented!
And I'm glad you are finally feeling better.
My husband's grandmother was really into quilting. It has given me an appreciation for how much work goes into those things...and how they truly are heirlooms. We still have quilts from his childhood, all over our house. Yours are breathtaking!
I literally got through this post with a jealousy knot in my stomach!!! You are fantastic and so talented!!!! I just came from another blog and she was showing off her mad knitting skills. I long for the day when I'll know what to do with kneedle and thread. Your quilts are beautiful. Sorry you were sick, but come on lady, who does work like that when they are peeing their pants! You that's who!
What I wouldn't give to be a quilter! Beautiful pieces! Wow!
Glad you are feeling better. Very cute purse! And very impressed with all you got done while sick! Amazing.
Look at you!!! Oh my! Love every single one of them gorgeous quilts. Such talent! So happy to hear that you're feeling normal again. Cute purse.
Have to admit, I luv Tylenol with codeine!
Happy Presidents Pets Day - the day after Presidents Day, as I like to call it. In the US, we love our presidents..... pets. See my blog if you’re in the mood for a good ol' irreverent howl.
Ooooooo - I LOVE the quilting!! What a talent. I have a good friend who is an amazing quilter, and I am so in awe of the patience and skill it takes to make such beautiful things! BRAVO dear! (Oh, and that purse is to die for!!! I.must.have!)
