Anna, you are very generous to take the time to show and teach us. I have watched and now rewatching several of your videos while I sew. Feel like I’ve known you long time! Big thanks!
Enso is such a good dog when you came upstairs he didn't get underfoot and remained still when you rounded the corner into a new area. And your husband is the best: at taking excellent videos indoors & outside too including the editing which is difficult, making you furniture for your sewing projects and driving to your heart's desire when your on the road; what gems you've got. And I enjoyed seeing all that snow from the upstairs windows - what a view ! What is your favorite season living is Sisters & why? Oh, and I almost forgot you provided us a most wonderful tour, thank you; my sewing rooms could never be under the magnification of a video tour - too messy.
Enzo is a great dog...we are so blessed. Thank you for your kind words...we hope in our inexperienced way we are sharing the quilting and traveling life. My absolute favorite season is Fall! but we love all the season and that is why we live here :)
Thank you for the tour! In watching your videos, I am always looking at your nice touches...a nice reflection of you! We spend a lot of time in our sewing spaces and it's nice to be surrounded by some favorite things!
Hi Anna, I learned about your channel over at Sutton’s Daze Friends group on Facebook. And I’m so glad I found you. Your town, your home, and your sewing room are all delightful and you are such a treasure!! I have never quilted before but I am so interested in learning. I look forward to watching more of your videos. Love, Mary ❤️😘❤️
now this is the most exciting news!!! you are going to LOVE LOVE LOVE quilting...not only for the artistic experience but for the friendships that are forged!
Hi Anna, thank you SEW much for making room for my sewsister Barbara and me at Sisters sit-and-stitch this summer. My favorite parts of your sewing room is the welcome table and your beautiful family stove. I am having a hard time for over half a year, since my mom died and I brought home lots of sewing and handcraft supplies, but your video is inspiring me to tackle the bittersweet integration of her things with mine, and then using her things. Thanks again, Anna. Greetings to G and Enzo!
My mom has been gone for 6 years and every so often I have a moment that feels like the air is sucked out of the room...I love having her things around...I a closet to her in my sewing room :) I hope you will come back for sit and stitch again!
Anna, your room is lovely and a quilters dream!! You should of seen my mouth drop when you revealed your stash!!!!lol!!! I am retired and started to work thru my stash so when i go to " quilt heaven". My kids wont have much to donate!!!
And I'm just learning to sew at 68! My living room is my sewing room, but it's just me and my cat, so I think it serves the purpose, but would love one like yours, lol
Oh Anna what fun to see your sewing room it's just beautiful ,loved your mothers scissors so precious and laughed when you said the baskets have various duties , reminds me of nursing 😊. The organisation is so well thought outlook foward to seeing you using your sweet sixteen.Very much enjoyed looking at your staircase gallery .Thankyou for the tour looks like there is less snow now?warmest Mary
Very much enjoyed your tour, Anna! You are so cute, and your personality is reflected in your studio. I love all the light you have. Looking forward to seeing you use the HQ16. Drool... 🤗
What a gorgeous space! I love the light you have in there, the space and the great organisation. Oh and that fabric room . . . . I want it . . . . all of it! Oh and I forgot to mention just how adorable your dog looks too!
Omg I love, love , love your happiness cave. Such lovelies in there. I'd never come out of there, only to walk up and down the stairs to see my lil quilts! Thank you for sharing. I just saw your lil cross stitch that looks just like you , too cute! I need a thera cane too! Oh the lil sewing machine clock, oh I'd spend days finding all the cute stuff you have, I love the same kinds of things you love. I guess there are a whole lot of us too.
I so enjoy when someone stops by that loves all my junk!, lol...I got the clock from Holly Hill Quilt Shoppe in West Linn Oregon :) I think when you surround yourself with things you really love you find peace in your surrounding.
Hi Anna. I'm a new viewer from Sunny Western Australia and just wanted to say how much I'm enjoying your videos. Love your Studio and can't wait to catch up on some more of your previous Vlogs.
Thanks for the tour. I always thought your sewing room was in your living room. Looks like a very nice "happy place." You are very fortunate to have a husband who helps you with your passion to create. I have one, too, and he's a blessing!
I have friends who have set up their sewing rooms in the living room and it really makes use of a room that gets little use otherwise. We don't have a separate living room/family room...only one great room so wouldn't work for us. We are blessed without DH's
What a great room and a great video! Your room is very inviting and calming. We moved a few years ago and I am still in the process of getting mine the way I want it. You seem to have a great personality and I am like Nicole, I feel like we could be friends as well. I am enjoying discovering your videos! Happy stitching! :)
I say never rush a sewing room personality...it comes slowly and with much thought about what kind of environment you want to be in...I am glad you found us...we have a wonderful virtual sewing community!
Anna your are so darling! Your space is so warm and cozy Thank you for inviting us into your room. I just love your videos and feel like we could be friends. I like so many of the types of quilts and hobbies as you. I think you should do your stitching tutorials at your table so we can feel like we are sitting right there with you! Lol. I would love to stitch with you! You and G really seem to be so full of life and it is just so wonderful how supportive he is with your passion.
Thank you for sharing your time to show your sewing room . Having your sewing machine to your right of your light is what I am going to do. My machine is facing my window but I really liked your idea. Thanks for you being you....God bless you.😁 Gloria Schleh from Missouri......
Love to hear from nurses we are very creative people, we had to be during our everyday practice. Thanks for your tour I had my partner make me a pegboard which you can find the instructions to make one your room is certainly large enough check it out. Thanks again from another quilting creative nurse.
I loved your tour of the Quilt tossing in Boise! It was my favorite shop in Boise for the 15+ years that I lived in Nampa. It made me miss it a lot!!! Thanks for the memories❣️❣️❣️
Hi Anna...When I saw your introduction, I recognized the downtown Sisters, OR highway. I still drive through when I can so that I can stop by the Stitching Post for fabric "must haves"...We used to drive to the quilt show back years ago from central Idaho. Your videos are so clear and helpful. Thanks so much!
I found you on Flosstube which led me here. Please share more details about your sewing chair. I am looking for a replacement for my old stool. Great video. Thank you for sharing your fabulous sewing space.
the largest selection of this chair which is my favorite and my whole stitch group has one is at the quilt shop in Flagstaff called www.odegaards.com/ they ship and be sure to tell them where you saw it :)
I envy your working space. You take such joy in sharing it with viewers. I think your stash closet is far more organized than you realize. I love the stove from your childhood and the memories attached to it. Actually I got some ideas since I need to create a space for stitching and painting.
What a treat Anna! I spy with my little eye some very similar cherished tools and collectibles we share! Grandma's favorites & I have sheep too! ❤️ 🐏 !
Anna-Thank you so much for sharing your quilting room with us! It is so inspiring and sweet-just like you! I'm so glad I found your channel-enjoying it so much. I'm really looking forward to seeing your progress on the Sweet Sixteen. Enjoy it.
Hi Anna, I enjoyed so much watching this video.Love your fabric storage room. Very neat and well organize too. Also just watching your videos I got the chance to see all kinds of nice quilt stores in different states and towns. Love your idea of keeping the vintage oven as decoration and looks so cute and the paint is still very good condition. Thanks a lot.
Wow, it was so much fun to run across your video...I'm a new subscriber! I loved your light near your sewing machine...when I grow up into my sewing room I hope to have one just like yours...full of treasures and precious memories....I already have plenty of supplies, I just need to organize them and create a loving space to create.,.Thank you for the inspiration!
Ahhhh that was the sweetest tour! Thank you so much! My dream sewing room! I love my Thera-cane also. And Sandra Henderson, sometimes living with someone is as frustrating as living alone so take heart!
Anna you are such a positive person, your videos bring sunlight in my sewing life. Your sewing room is absolutely stunning, and so tasteful furnished. At the beginning of your tour you showed a big quilt with a big black sewing machine. May I ask you where I can get the pattern if it is still available? Otherwise please go on with your amazing videos, who needs any TV when we can watch you and your cute and informative projects!
Thank you! It is a Pat Sloan pattern. although I didn't like the color choice of the original pattern and it was done in all cottons I decided to go ahead and make it by substituting the cotton motifs for wool! Plus I enlarged it a bit by adding the final border :)
Thank you for the tour! I love the quilt rack.... we have a friend that does woodworking and my husband does his computer fixes for them - he has made my ironing station for my big board, my cutting table and now I will request a quilt rack! We never know who owes who :) I also made the Halloween quilt that you have on your design wall! Lots of work but certainly a treasure! Thank you for sharing your travels with us.... If you come to Wisconsin sometime... visit us at my favorite shop in St Croix Falls - Pins 'N' Needles.
Payback time! you will love the rack! That Halloween quilt was a lot of work but each block was like making a mini quilt. Someday I will make it to Wisconsin...and have a tour of your favorite shop :)
I just found you accidently and I just love your room. Thank you so much for sharing your quilt and applique tutorials. Right now I am trying to organize my sewing room. You have inspired me to start sewing again. Keep sharing.
This is my first time to visit your channel. I must say that you have inspired me to create a happy place. So nice to see your wall of small quilts. I love your room, and the ruler boxes! How nice! A great place! Thank you for sharing! Thst favorite littke chair reminds me of the old little school house chairs or a typing chair. Large room with many focus and uses. Love, love, love it. Lighting issues gor myself so i would need more lamps. However, your space looks like fun. Grab a cup of coffee!
I love your room and especially your warm generous disposition. I wish I was one of your friends that were able to come hang out and stitch with you. Just a little to far from Cleveland Ohio lol!! Your space is so organized!! Love it!!
Quilt Roadies it’s on my bucket list!!! I’d love to someday!! I also Quilt in my Carriage Cameo 5th wheel, so I love when you Quilt in your home away from home!!
Dear Anna, this is the coziest sewing room, I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing your organizational tipps. I also have an old stove from my parents and it is currently sitting in the garage. I have been wondering what to do with it since childhood memories stop me from throwing it out and I think I will put it in my sewing room also.
You are giving me some ideas with my stitching when my studio comes to be. When that will be I don`t know but stitching some wall hangings to be ready :) My hubby has made the draws for a quilting table. Only the top to be done so may sewing machine is flat in it and the draw handles to be picked out and attached. Looking forward to that. It will be placed at one end of our lounge,where I sew with my machine. Hand stitching is at the other end,that`s the lounge. I brought sewing wall hangers for putting threads and scissors to hang off. Always make sure they get put back.
that is what I love about visiting the quilting rooms of fellow quilters is I always get great ideas :) and it is fun to incorporate the ideas into my own bee hive :)
I recently found your channel and I am just in love!!!! So many quilting channels on youtube but I think your style is more like mine than any other!!! I need to do a quilting room tour of mine! Blessings... Kristie
I'm going to have to search for a Thera-cane! Wow! My back always hurts right in the middle Where my bra strap snaps. It's awful! And living alone- frustrating- so that will be good to try. I love your sewing room and your sense of style. Always look forward to seeing a video from you. I think I saw some Drip drip drip outside your window! Won't be long... Freedom! Lol one the road again...🎼 Sweet Enzo...so cute
you are going to love the Thera cane...every sewing room needs one! That dripping went on all day...it was in the 40's and the snow on the roof was melting fast! Can't wait to pull out and hit the road :)
I have all kinds of spaces and as we progress through the different stages of life our needs change. My favorite thing about my current sewing room is the windows and all the light they provide:)
I happen to fall on your video and am now a new subbie. I loved your room and got all kind of ideas, thank you! I look forward to more of your videos. Amazinggggg
I had the same time hunting for things that I need and of course it is so difficult, until I put folded paper in the inside of the each drawer what I have there like GLUE, Scissors etc. it made my life much easier.
Wow luv your secret door of stash .I thought that was a cupboard.lol very organized.awesome job.xoxo.all the way from Northwest territories.a little town of Hay River.of 3606 population.xoxo
Your room is beautiful. My son found me a sewing chair like that at a antique market and will be recovering it in buffalo black and white check very soon. Toss Pea
Good tip about the Theracane (is that right), I have not sat at my machine in so long due to pain I must ask my physio about it, thank you. Love your room.
I love all of it, some fantastic ideas that I am going to use. I also LOVE the drive through town, it makes my eyes leak abit at seeing the places I used to go. Thank you again and again, this does my heart❤ good. ps if you know Piedad (Pe-a-thod) (hair dresser) please tell her hello from Celita for me.
Glad you could use some of the ideas. Sisters is a sweet place isn't it...I don't know the hairdresser but if I ever run into her I will pass on your hello
Anna, Some time ago you showed how you hang your wall hangings on the stairwell walls. It was a not nails method using something like velcro tape. I've tried to look it up in my bookmarks and could not find the episode. I love your sewing room.
Wow beautiful my sewing spot is very small it’s near my fire place I’m new at this and I really wanted to make a quilt I’m having a little trouble just spent alot of money on a really nice machine and rulers and other things I need to get a labtop so I can embroidery. I just got a pfaff creative 3.0 and I’ve spent a arm and a leg and I haven’t even made anything yet but I’m very excited to try my husband said I better get better at it because of the money I’ve spent lol I know I had a smaller machine I but I didn’t want to have to try to make a big quilt on a small machine I mean it’s not a long arm but it should be big enough to do what I need I don’t have room for a long arm
Enzo loves everybody and I am sure you are on the list :) Can't switch because then I would have to switch the cutting table...I'd have to reconfigure the entire room...so I guess I have to make smaller quilts, LOL
I just found your videos today and am so glad I did! Your sewing room is a dream. I love your wall of little quilts going up the stairs. Would you mind sharing the name of the pattern for the little spool and jar of notions quilt? It is adorable! Now to binge watch the rest of your videos!!
Love, love Quilt Roadies, watch 1 or 2 every morning to catch up! So enjoy watching your shows. I am new at using wool & would like to know what of the Valdani thread you use. Thank you so much!
I love it...we have morning tea or coffee together! I use 8 and 12 Valdani in a variety of colors...but I have been known to use DMC if it is the right color. I especially love the varigated threads :)
Thank you so much! We just finished converting a room in the house to a music room for him so he can have a place to relax and possible do some more composing!
