Patchwork Tile For My Laundry Room, RTW Quilted Jacket Inspiration, and NO, I'm Not Packed Yet

Shhh!!!  No one tell Bernie that I'm on the Internet writing a blog post right now while I'm supposed to be packing my sewing room!  ðŸ™Š  I can't stand it; I have to show you guys the mosaic tile backsplash I found for my laundry room in the new house:


This Mosaic Tile Says "A Quilter Lives Here!" 


What do me and my quilter peeps see when we look at this tile?  We see a patchwork quilt, English Paper Piecing, diamonds, kites and squares!! 💕  Tra-la-la-la-LAAAA!!!!!  I am powerless to resist.   

Meanwhile, I have been packing -- just at the same slothful pace of my sewing projects.  The moving truck comes in three TWO days.  ðŸ˜°. And yet this blog post continues...


The Long Arm Studio is All Packed Up


The night before last, I managed to get my Bernina B990 sewing machine, its embroidery module, and my Babylock Triumph serger packed up in their original manufacturer's shipping cartons, thank goodness for YouTube "unboxing" videos that helped me remember what goes where.  I still need to pack my AccuQuilt machine and die collection, my acrylic cutting rulers, embroidery hoops, WIP project boxes, the rest of my quilting fabric stash, my hand embroidery and beading supplies...  My sewing paraphernalia is definitely the biggest packing category, and the one I'm least likely letting the movers assist with.  To heck with my clothes and my dishes, as long as my sewing goodies survive the move!
