When I moved to Portland 2 years ago, I set up my studio in the basement. We had a spare room upstairs, but we also had a son in college and I wanted him to have a room to come home to. Well....I couldn't take the basement a minute longer and my son said he thought it would be great to have the basement so ... for the past week I made a HUGE move! I'm ABOVE GROUND! I have windows! I couldn't have done it without my good friend (Ms. Muscles) Jen - Thanks Jen!
Now that I am all organized I found a couple of items I would love to share with you. One is a Moda Jelly Roll of my new fabric line Full Circle. This line won't be in stores until April, but it can be yours now! The other item is a watercolor painting I did of a little bird and her nest - spring is right around the corner! It measure about 5" x 7". If you are interested in either of these goodies simply leave the comment "George is the man". I will randomly draw two winners at 5pm on Sunday the 13th. I'm sorry, but I can only mail these within the US. (Sorry Robyn)

Zippy has already decided that's her chair. The hooked rug in front of the chair was hooked by the one and only Polly Minnick! The hand mirrors on the wall I have been collecting for a few years. They have been wrapped up and safely stored under my bed waiting for their home here. And last but not least - WINDOWS!!!!

This armoire was a gift from my mother-in-law years ago and now it houses my fabric. Check out all of the quilts on top! Most of them were pieced by my mom, but there are a couple up there that I managed to sew.
THANK YOU! The drawing in now closed.

"George!"
Love that fabric and your painting. I am reorganizing myself and thinking spring. Today I made prim eggs.
I have a bird piece that I made with wool and fabrics, now I am thinking that would be a good theme for the spare room. Would be fun to have something different in one room and will use it for guests.

George is the man!
I found your blog while desperately looking for some of the dark brown crackle you designed for Moda about 4 years ago? (time goes so fast when you're over 30) I need it to finish a Burgoyne Surround I'm making for my new bedroom.
I too want a sewing room upstairs.
Best Regards,
Lou

Love the room. The chair just did it for me. I have my sewing maching in a corner of my bedroom and I'm thinking I need to convert my daughter's bedroom into a sewing room. She's getting married this year so it's not like she will be back anytime soon. LOL!
How did you deal with the poor light in the basement? I dream of natural light in a sewing room but it's so darn rare.
Anyway, I also had to comment on the quilt. It is fabulous. I think I need me one of those.
With all that said I will give a shout out to George.. George is the man!! LOL! Have a great day!
George is the man!
thanks so much!
George is the man! Beautiful fabric and beautiful painting!!!
I declare, I think George must be the man!! Love your new little monogram book. So sweet.
Your new studio looks wonderful! And your little birdies are so sweet!
I love your new line! I'm going to find something to make with it for sure!
Hey :D "George is the man" here @ Jackie's home in NC.
Smiles & thank you for all you give, I am a loyal blog follower.
Congrats on your move. I'm in the basement, too, so I know how great that is for you! I find myself not wanting to sew on nice days, but in the evenings so I don't miss the sun. Maybe now you can invite George over!
"George is the man"
Ohhh how exciting!! Love all your wonderful pictures!! Thank you for offering such a great give a way!! I will keep my fingers crossed!! Will you be at the sewing expo this year? Love your designs, I have many...could use more!! Hope to see you!! Mona Holland from Puyallup Wa.
I love your Full Circle fabric and the darling little birds. I am really impressed with your beautiful room--what a place to be inspired!!!! "George is the man." Thanks for sharing.
George is the man! I love the fabric and the painting. The painting would look great in my sewing room. Thanks for the chance to win. Congratulations on your new room. I was able to take over one of the bedrooms when my children left home. It is on the second floor and is bright and cheery.
George is the man! I would love the birds -- just look at my blog name to see why! :-)

I moved my computer and sewing up from the basement to the back end of the living room years ago, and while I have less space, I love having light! :0)
Thanks for the giveaways!
George is the man! Thanks for the giveaway chance!
George is the man!
George is the man! Oh how fun for you to have a 'real' room now. And I can say from experience, when your son comes home from college, you will LOVE that he's in the basement and so will he. When the last of our boys moved out and left for college I took over that bedroom for my own sewing/computer room. We made a small(VERY small) bedroom in the back area of our house and hubby built an elevated bed to raise it up from the floor and underneath we put a small desk which had storage underneath for his junk he brought home with him. It is wonderful because he can stay up late into the night as most all college kids do when coming home again after being introduced to the freedom of college life. We don't hear anything with him way out there as opposed to his old room being just on the other side of the wall from our bedroom. It is just wonderful and still gives him the freedom to do as he pleases after getting that taste of being on his own at school. Your son will love that and so will you as you won't be hearing him and his tv/music etc late into the middle of the night.
Congrats on the new sewing room where you actually have light. YAY!
Love your sewing room, George is the man!
Ronnie
George is the man!!! Too funny:) I am loving your bird painting and would love to win it:) Congrats on being above ground and having such a fabulous space to work in! I love your cabinet and armoire and the way you are using them. It is always so nice to have pieces that mean so much to us in our favorite spaces. Thanks for hosting and have a Blessed weekend.
"George is the man", but since I'm Canadian, you can't ship a giveaway win to me?
Can I buy patterns through your Etsy shop? I'm puzzled - I regularly offer giveaways through my blog and website, and have just recently shipped to Ireland and several prizes to the United States.
I am willing to pay postage if you would be willing to mail to me.
Your comments? The fabric line looks lovely and you sent me an email specifically inviting me to enter.....
George is the man! Thank you for sharing. Your new space is lovely..and I love the chair!!

Hi Kathy,
"George is the man" :-)
Love the fabric and the painting is so sweet! I am sooooo ready for spring. It's going to be 48 degrees here in the Mid-Atlantic on Sunday and we are all excited which tells you how cold it's been. In the fall we would have thought that 48 degrees was cold. LOL!
Love your new room! Yes, our son would prefer living in the basement to living upstairs. Closer to the big scree TV and the video games. The only problem? Not close to the refrigerator!
Cynthia

I love your new space. I had my office in the basement and couldn't take it any longer either. My husband built me the most beautiful office in our old dining room which was used only once a year before. Now everyday I enjoy looking out my window while I work. I have a windowbox and birds even come and look in at me in the summer. Love it!
George is the man! Love your new room. It looks so comfortable!
George is the man! Windows are necessary to feed the soul and keep the creative fires burning, your new room looks like a wonderful place to create!

I ran into a George yesterday! George is the man, unless he is a woman whose nickname is George, that is:-). Fabric or a painting? What wonderful 'gifts'! I have my studio in a basement in 2 different places I lived. Never lasted for long, though. Always ended up moving the studio upstairs. Thanks!
george is the man :)
oh, hoping for that fabric, it's darling, ok so is the birdie too
