  1. I have a nice big window in front of my 1956 Singer 99 machine. Every day I see God's wonderful creations as I sew. No matter what the season, I see something beautiful!

  6. I have an apothecary-type jar that holds my basting pins. But it's no ordinary jar -- it's emblazoned with a large Atlanta Braves logo. Yay for spring training! :)

  8. I have a white felt design wall just to the right of the sewing table. A QIP is on the felt and along the bottom are several photo ideas for the future. Just on the other side of the window in front of the sewing machine is forsythia bush which is which a stopping spot for sparrows and sometimes a lady cardinal. I watch them now while there are no leaves, later I won't be able to see them very well.

  9. I always love little things like this purse and pretty things to look at. In my sewing room there are little photos of my cats, a very very little table-top dresser with tiny drawers, and little baskets.
    Thanks for the end-of-winter-giveaway.

  19. On top of my bookcase that holds fabric and patterns, I have an old medal model tractor that was my dad's. Since i no longer have him, and the wound is still fresh (is it going to be always?), it makes me happy.

    Thank you for the fun treat!

  20. My jars of buttons connect me with my mom who died almost 40 years ago when I was 19… As a child, I loved sorting my mom's buttons, many of which I'm now enjoying as a reminder of her. :D

  21. My inspiration is volunteering in a kindergarten class teaching art projects that are created in a "non-judgmental" environment. Amazing the imaginations these little ones have and how colorful their pieces can be!

  22. I have a poster from our local art museum that had a quilt exhibit back in the 1970s. It inspired me to start quilting and keep quilting.

  23. I have the first ever pincushion I sewed. It's out of shape and the sewing is all over the place but it reminds me you can achieve anything if you try.

  26. I have several things that I really like in my sewing room. One is my (now deceased) Mom's old sewing basket that still has her threads, needles and stuff in it. I think of how she would make us all kinds of lovely and practical things when we were kids. Another thing I have is a small magnet a friend gave me that says "I tried being normal once. It was the worst two minutes of my life!" It reminds me not to be so serious about stuff and life in general.

  32. Love that little purse. Too sweet! I have a dress form covered in beautiful antique brooches that I've been collecting for several years. Lots are sewing related - and they come in all colors and sizes. Just a very happy place to lose your thoughts in and it inspires me to put colors together that I wouldn't ordinarily think about.

  35. For decoration and inspiration I have glass jars full of buttons, a jar full of buttons and knitting needles and old kitchen scales display some of my pincushions.
