Here's my version of Double Delight, Bonnie Hunter's first quilt design for the new year. I followed her fabric recommendations closely. I am very pleased with the way it turned out!
Our house has a room in the basement that could be used as a bedroom (the previous owners had it set up that way). It does not have an escape window, however, so I hesitate to even consider the room for sleeping occupancy. I use it as a store room -- or, in more colorful parlance, as the lumber room. As Brewer's Dictionary explains it, "Lumber: formerly a pawnbroker's shop. From Lombard, a banker or moneylender. In medieval London, Lombard Street became the home of Lombards and other Italian merchants who set up as goldsmiths, moneylenders, and bankers. From the 13th century they flourished as pawnbrokers."
Last week I posted a picture of the lumber room in disarray. I spent several hours rearranging it, and here 'tis. The books/magazines here are those for sale (on Quilter's Flea Market and, I hope, Sew It's For Sale) as opposed to those to keep which are on shelves in my studio.
