The Disappearance of Texas Quilt Gal

Looking from the hall into the "new" sewing space

I'm still here! Here is what has been happening. In 2023, I switched my sewing room with the guest bedroom, detailed in this post. That move was made for all the right reasons, but during the past few months I have been longing for that former space.

Broad view of my new space; window looks over the garden (which only has onions right now!)

Then at the end of February, the grands spent a few nights with us, and grandson Everett (age 6) asked if we could switch the guest bedroom back to where it used to be. I asked him why. He said he likes being close to the kitchen and being able to wake up and walk right into it and see us in the mornings! Awww! I told him I would seriously consider it, and I did. Over the course of a couple weeks, my husband and I made the switch, and then I had the task of organizing, swapping closet contents, electric cord setup,  picture hanging, etc. Now it is done, and I am very happy with the arrangement. Come and take a peek:

a convenient printer, and all my important things that give me joy

The "new" guest bedroom, currently occupied by kitties on top and under the bed

This is the current state of the design board. My plan is to redo the board and take up the entire wall. In the meantime I am hustling to catch up on the SAHRR quilt, Little House SAL, and A Quilting Life BOM, as well as making "red" blocks for the RSC. Stay tuned!

This table next to my sewing machine holds my laptop but more importantly, a napping space.
