Stash and Stitching Places

I was excited when Barbara Bergsten asked on her blog, "Where do you Stitch?" I just so happen to be a very lucky lady when it comes to stitching stations. Well at least in my mind. Recognizing that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I fully understand that having places to stitch all over my home may not be every one's idea of heaven, but I am thrilled to be able to stitch here and there and the orts prove it! Let's start with my stash closet located in the upstairs guest bedroom. The walkin is fairly large as I have a triple dresser centered on the back wall which houses my upcoming projects, notions, paperwork. Hanging are project bags and painted canvases, on the dresser, my blank canvas, down below are my stitch books and some of the bulky frames and stands. On the right side of the closet are my thread drawers and copies of my stitching magazine subscriptions.

Yes, that's an office chair in there. It was my husband's cast off but it works perfect allowing me to play in my closet while seated. I don't stitch in there and when company comes to stay (like now, my Godmother is visiting through Mother's Day), I move the chair back into my husbands home office.

My favorite stitching zone is in my bedroom under a window shown in the top photo. My next favorite place is at the dining room table where I can use either a frame weight or a clamp (I use a table pad to protect the surface)). My Ott floor lamp

plugs in near my chair. This is where I am stitching the pilot project although while I have company, I won't get much done. Last but not least is our downstairs where I love to stitch, there's lots of natural light, but oddly enough I don't stitch down there too often. When I have stitch group here, we typically will stitch down here. You might know that the silhouette you see in the background is TBear. I love the Dazor lamp but it's too heavy to move around or up and down the stairs, so it stays down stairs.

So there you have it, my stitching places, where you can find me most of the time. Thanks Barbara for posing the question. I can't wait to see other's thrones too!
