Sewing Room
As promised…here is a glimpse into my little sewing room. I don’t get to spend nearly enough time in here.

Finished my quilt top from blocks collected from the Summer Quilt Block Swap. I’m very happy with how it turned out and can’t wait to see what it looks like once it gets quilted! Now I’m anxious to get started on my blocks for the Fall Quilt block Swap. Visit the Scrapbooks, Etc. Swap Forum …
On Monday I took this great class at Scrapbooks, Etc. with Barb Cressy and made this “sweet Machine Mat Organizer!” So handy with the mesh pockets and extra cute with the scottie doggie fabric. Love it!
My Buggy Barn Quilt is done! Note: Moda Coffee fabrics used to represent my little “coffee” dogs! Pattern: From the Buggy Barn Book, “Crazy Dog Days” All the appliqued birds with hearts sewed on –phew! Professionally quilted by the “amazing Louise” (she actually quilted little doggies on it for me!) Striped binding lovingly hand-stitched. Finished it just …
Finally finished this L-O-N-G Runner. Love the concept of these blocks and here is the lesson I learned: It is NOT a wise decision to “quilt” a project in a stop and go fashion…this is why quilters use continuous motion! I learn everything the hard way…but I learn! Thanks for checking out my blog today…now, …
I have been pretty lax on the blogging of late. Painting the interior of my home is quite the task, coordinating swaps takes up a lot of my time…I keep saying nothing else, yet my hand keeps going up to volunteer for things! Finished my 12 blocks for the Scrapbooks, Etc. Quilt Block Swap (this …
My dear friend in Melissa in Texas liked my Spring Runner so much – she asked me to make her one. I have NO time for that… so I’m sending her the finished one. I love the project so much…but the colors just didn’t work with my home decor. I’m happy the spring table runner will …
Signed up for Jamie’s Welcome Home Class at Scrapbooks, Etc. a week or two ago, but was unable to make the actual class. Thanks to Jamie and her wonderful directions I had no problem assembling this cute spring table runner together. Last fall I took another one of Jamie’s FAB classes and made an adorable Halloween Table …
I took a great class at Scrapbooks, Etc. last week — Fashionista with Heidi Lynn and made this CUTE embellished lamp shade. 1-yard of fabric was included with the class and we made our selections on class day! Everyone’s lamp was totally different. This class was so fun! As soon as I find some free …
I attended the Pin Cushion Club Class last night at Scrapbooks, Etc. and made this fun Cupcake Pin Cushion. It’s from the Portabellopixie Cupcake Pin Cushion pattern. Plus…I even won a pair of Gingher Lions Tail Embroidery 3 1/2″ Scissors! Lucky Me!!! Thank you Theresa and Louise for a fun class! xoxo
Started Last Summer and finished 7 months ahead of schedule (hee hee). The black strip on this quilt was supposed to have applique…but this was only my second quilt (so be kind). The applique work was really, really stressing me out. So I decided to just “let it go” and be happy. I have worked on …
Completed!
I had a blast the last two weeks in Barb & Terry’s class, “It’s raining cats and dogs” at Scrapbooks, Etc. Students got to choose to make either a cat or dog themed project. Needless to say, I chose dog! If you are not familiar with a Buggy Barn Style quilt, basically you stack your …
How do you transport your Chihuahua? I sewed up this cute thing using of the kits left over from the Sew-N-Go! LOVE my new Biscotti Bag!!!
Sewing! Made this cute bag for someone VERY SPECIAL. Maybe we should just call it a “CROP” bag (inside joke)! Thanks to Terry and Barb who put this kit together for the Sew-N-Go…a great class that I rarely get to attend! 🙁
I’m re-learning how to sew (it’s been years). Thanks to the wonderful selection and great instructors at Scrapbooks, Etc. I had some new pretty things to set out with my holiday decorations. Quilt: Louise’s Beginning Quilting Class (Made by Susan and quilted by Louise) Placemats: Made by me…found directions on-line! Table Mat: Barb & Terry’s Sew-N-Go Project …
I have just 4 seats left for my Master Mini Books Halloween Class tomorrow, Friday 10/15 at Scrapbooks, Etc. I will be happy to save you kit…you just need to let me know so I don’t sell the extra kit at the class. You can email me (Susan) at info@susanmast.com. Please call Scrapbooks, Etc. to …
I’m re-learning how to sew! Even invested in a super cool new machine and I’m loving my new hobby. My #1 brother and I are taking a quilting class and our awesome instructor, Terry Schuld, took photos of everyone’s project and posted them on her blog. Here are our photos:
