I decided the other day that I needed to change things up a little bit in my sewing room. I have been looking at this wall hanging for a very long time. It was time to make something new to hang in its place.
What could be more perfect than Thimble Blossoms original Spools quilt pattern? Some of my most treasured Bonnie and Camille scraps are in this quilt.
Saturday I spent the day making a sewing machine cover for my Bernina. Nadra @ Ellis and Higgs wrote a great tutorial. It is written in German, but Google translate is helpful in figuring it out. It took me longer to decide how to design it than to make it. I did forget to curve a couple of the corners, but it looks okay and it isn't worth the time and energy to undo the binding to fix that, right?
For the ties, I used twill ribbons from Moda fat quarter bundles. I have a box full of them!
The back side of my cover...
The two tutorials can be found here:
Have a happy day!
I love your sewing room updates!

Your machine cover is beautiful. Just perfect.
And more adorable fabrics used. I have one of those cute boxes with the see through top.
I put all of my heavy duty button thread spools in it.
