I spent most of the day yesterday straightening up the basement. I usually leave it until the weekend before the art quilters come, but I have to work on Saturday so I started early. In the evening I just played with more of the little pieces since they were still spread all over the sewing machine cabinet. I started bagging the similar sizes when I finished so I think I can put this away for awhile.
My sister in law gave me a bookcase she didn't need any more. I put it in my dining room. In my house I don't really call it a 'formal' dining room. My whole house is pretty casual. I am going to move all of the quilting books out of the studio because it is getting crowded in there. I have lots of books that have been scattered all over the place and now I can have them all in one place. I have spaced the bottom 2 shelves for the taller books.
I have all of my quilt books in one place but that is in a bookcase that fits under my quilting frame! I have to sit on the floor to look through them. I wish I had another place - what you have should work out great. I think most of us probably have informal houses - I don't know anyone who has formal rooms! Karen http://karensquilting.com/blog/
I have a huge bbokcase full of books and magazines. We moved it this last year and the frame has sagged from to much weight. I got told to get rid of some of it and I just put more on it. Shame on me. I love the quilt blocks this will be a real interesting look when done. Chris
Oh, I hope you enjoy finding and relocating all of your books . . . it may take a while because you'll be tempted to stop and browse through many of them! (at least that's what happened to me when I relocated mine).
That bookcase will be a wonderful way of organizing all your quilting books. I have many of mine scattered too and really need to consolidate them.
ReplyDeleteLove the "same old thing" blocks.

Oh how nice, you will be able to invite people to dine in the library!
ReplyDeleteOh, what a seductive picture...an empty bookcase.
ReplyDeleteThose blocks are wonderful! And the bookcase will be such a treasure-chest once you put your books in there ;)
