Ann Gee has sent photos of her sewing room, stating that she enjoyed my recent article about the history of pincushions in the May 2010 issue of The Quilter magazine. I hope that you enjoy this mini photo selection as much as I do.
A shelf that holds spools of thread, some of them wooden; a strawberry emery on a thread holder, an antique “sewing chair,” and two Singer sewing manuals
Tools of the trade: pincushions, an iron, a darning egg, scissors, needle-threader, pincushions, and variegated thread.
Various antique and country-looking sewing collectibles
toy sewing machines
We love to hear from readers. In this case, Jim came to the rescue to figure how to extract “compressed” files. He earns his keep and I am always happy to have him figure out all things computer-eze. My brain just doesn’t think like a computer! I’d like to thank Ann for sending these photos. Seems as though she has an ambient sewing space with all of these neat items!
