New Quilt Room - Not finished or Organized lol

My husband built the shelves and work station for me - it is wonderful.  The work station is a "U" shape and can fit 3 to 4 people depending on how squishy we want to be.  Most of the time it is just me or me and my son Richy lol.  The shelves are heavy duty and faced but need to still be painted.  The work station is very heavy duty and we can stand on them to get to the shelves if we want or need to.  There is storage under too.  The closet has storage too.  He built me a design wall and framed it in so it is very cute.  We have to put a new window in still and add a closet door and the new door to the room but I just love this room and the fact I can go sew and leave a project and come back and work on it whenever and it does not get buried like it used to in my bedroom where I used to sew.  Thank you honey I love you!

This is my Victory Garden challenge quilt - I have a photo of the poster hanging on it that was my inspiration for this quilt. The word "Victory" is done like Letterman jacket lettering and the vegetable basket and vegetables are all 3D and were so much fun to make.

This is my Grandmother's Kitchen quilt finally finished and very fun to make one of my favorite quilts that I am giving to my mom.

This is my Tumbling Through The Looking Glass quilt that incorporated Kaleidoscope blocks with Tumbling Blocks the bottom right tumbling block box is actually a full box escaping from the border but is bent in the photo so you can not see it here.


This is my BOM from BunnyHill that I entered in the Chewelah Quilt Show this year. My son Richy quilted it.

These little carrots are going to be a part of my challenge quilt for our quilt show in May this year. Our theme is "Victory Gardens" - my quilt has 3D aspects and this is just one of the pieces that will be on it. I am really excited to see the final project because when I found this poster that I am trying to recreate I immediately saw this one part in my mind and after making these little carrots it is really starting to come to life. I have most of the top done.

The carrots were adapted from Crabapple's pattern which I reduced in size by 60% so they are very small. The carrot part without the leaf is like 3 1/2 inches long and maybe 3/4 inch to 1/2 inch wide at top. I will have other veggies too and will post a complete photo of the quilt along with the original poster that I got my inspiration from when I am done.
