My next fun quilt studio project completed!

I mentioned that I was working on a fun project in my quilt studio in yesterday's blog entry. Here is the completed project. I feel much more like this space I moved into is becoming MY space! I went back to 'my roots' of beginning my quilting with this project. I have had these drawers now for some years and only had a simple stain on them so they were always very plain as you see in the photo above. I decided to use quilt fabric on the drawer fronts. This is a collection from my stash which is all reproduction fabrics from the Windham Fabrics "Nuts and Berries" and "Lewis and Clark" collections. They remind me of my very first quilt I ever made which was all browns and creams ~ very sepia. I loved it and decorated my bedroom around it with the help of my parents and brother. My mother made me muslin lace lined curtains and my parents and brother suprised me one day with a beautifully wallpapered room. It was such a pretty wallpaper in sepia with a small flower motif and looked so old~fashioned. I think back on that room very fondly and this has brought me back to that feeling. It also gives me the chance, as a quilter, to have that fabric collection which I have saved for some years right there in front of me as I work. I wanted these drawers to end up being very tactile and they are. I will now start working out my next idea for the quilt studio so watch for more news of that in the coming weeks.....
