Quilt Shop Room Box #2

This is the shop for my aunt ("Patricia's Patchworks" - Jarretsville, Maryland - est. 2007). It's very similar to my mother's only with different colors and different quilts.

"Koi" mini wall quilt
"Seasonal Triptych" mini quilts on a tree branch
"Tuscan Bricks" mini wall quilt

And of course, little mr. man here claiming this roombox for his own amusement - thankfully it was still empty! Soon enough, he won't be able to fit in such a little space.

Bring on the Relaxation!

The last gift is made, the last present has been bought. The house is fairly well clean and what remains is minor - a bit of laundry, a few dishes, bring in a little fire wood. I am a day ahead of schedule! Aside from those minor little things, I just have to make up the annual "Spier Family Gift Basket", since Juli just stopped over with mine (lots of goodies on a platter and an Elvis mug with hot cocoa in it...have I ever told you about the annual Elvis gifts? Oh, that's right, I have. Well my Elvis gift to Juli this year is an Elvis magnet that plays "Suspicious Minds"), which will be delivered tomorrow night, then we will head out to the movies for "P.S. I Love You" (Mmmm...Gerard Butler and Jeffery Dean Morgan - that is my kind of way to kick off the holidays).

Tomorrow, I pack up the four wheel drive sleigh and head for the Lake. Four days of enjoying the season, of sipping hot cocoa and munching Christmas cookies, of watching t.v. specials from my childhood and relaxing...I can't wait!

And just to show off...John's quilt: And the Quilt Shop Room Box for Mum:



I made pretty much everything in this roombox, save for the hutch and the chair. I'm quite proud of it - can't wait for Mum to see it!

You know how I said I was creating a room box for my mum and my aunt? This is what I have so far for the "Quilt Shop" (well, what I've taken pictures of):

The hutch, magazine spinner (which isn't complete) and all the accoutrementsthe shop will have an array of fat quarters
and some very nice bolts of batiks this is the gridded cutting table in process. It's done now, completely glued and even has a mini gridded ruler and polymer clay rotary cutter to go with it.
I have two chairs with a green padded seats that never got used when I finished Juli's dollhouse. I think I need to make one more basket to go on top of the magazine spinner, more bolts of fabric, more thread spools and some quilt books for the hutch. I have some other ideas, but have yet to make them. I want to put the room box together first, start putting things in it and see how much room I have.

Anyhoo, that's what I've been up to, besides starting the sheet rock in this room (a project that should have been done a year ago, but alas procrastination is my middle name)
