Hello, friends! And happy Friday. Today I’m sharing my A Quilting Life Sewing Room Tour with video. I’ve been wanting to share this type of tour for so long because it seems like the very best way to give you the most amount of information. I waited until I had the new space put together and then we did an area by area video with an explanation of each space. I hope you’ll enjoy it!

Sewing Room Before and After Photos

Fat Quarter Shop Livestream
I’m super excited to also let you know that today Kimberly from Fat Quarter Shop is sharing a trunk show with all of my quilts from my Labor of Love: Scrappy Quilts from the Heart of Home book. She is also sharing my sampler quilt made from the book! You can watch live on her YouTube or Facebook or watch it after it has aired.
Happy quilting, and thanks so much for stopping by!

Sherri, your sewing room is amazing! I”m very happy for you. It is such a great accomplishment and a wonderful inspiration. Thank you for sharing.
LeLa Sijtsma says
Your sewing room is beautiful. I was hoping you would give an explanation of the many quilts you have in your sewing room.
Thank you for sharing.
Jan Weicksel says
What a beautiful work space! Love it!
Debby DeLisle says
Sherri thanks from the tour of your new sewing center….It is Fabulous!! Felt like I was right strolling the room with you! Happy Day from Michigan:)
Lisa says
Hi, Sherri! Thanks so much for the room tour. It’s fantastic! I know you’ve mentioned it before, but I wouldn’t even know where to begin to find it. Can you tell about that wooden box where you keep your scissors and pencils? I LOVE it! Thanks!

Thanks so much for sharing this. Did you put in any special over head lighting?
Love your patterns and fabrics.
sherri McConnell says
No, but I do have can lights around the exterior of the room and a fan/light in the center of the room.
Margaret says
Wow, that’s a great video. Thanks for sharing your workspace with all of us – it is motivating me to do something in my sewing room (aka Kevin’s former bedroom). Anyhow, I do have a question – what size is your sewing room? It looks quite spacious. Thanks again. I hope you have many, many hours of happy sewing in that room.
Jane Hostetler says
Loved the tour, thank you! I can’t wait to have a large cutting table, the one you have is perfect. One question, do you slide your sewing table out when you start to put rows together and you’re working with large pieces? Same with pressing a complete quilt top. I find it a little difficult on a regular ironing board and I’m curious to see what you put in place in the future for pressing! Thank you again, love to tour!
Kimberley Rose says
What kind of flooring did you use when you replaced your carpet? This is something I definitely want to do in my sewing room.
T Holzer says
Thanks for sharing and you gave me some great ideas! Gorgeous!
Bunny Wilson says
I’m trying to decide on a new cutting mat. The green Olfa mat doesn’t quite work with my vision. Do you have any trouble with cutting darker fabrics with the navy mat? Love your room. Thanks for the tour!
LindaLou B says
Your sewing room is beautiful! I love how organized you are. Lots of great ideas 🙂
Christie Gilmore says
Hi sherrie,
Can you please tell me where you got the little wooden box on your large cutting table it looks to be rulers seem ripper in it but I’m not sure thank you
Sherrel says
Great room. I thought my sewing room was big. Maybe I need to rearrange it a little.
roombodi says
I absolutely love how much natural light is in this room—no decor needed for that! And it looks like you have a super clean and organized design going as well. Love it 😀
Celeste M Rockwell says
I love how you organized your sewing room! Can you tell me what the height is of your main work table? I find my back hurts after a while when cutting on a regular desk or table height!
sherri McConnell says
36.5″
Happy quilting!
Missy Reynolds says
What a gorgeous, spacious room! I have the same Rowenta iron and love it but got frustrated with the space it took up on my ironing station especially when ironing backing. I grabbed one of my old TV tray tables and set it next to the ironing cabinet. Now I have the full length!
Love your blog and the videos are terrific!
Charo Sáiz says
I really enjoy this tour. I love your sewing room, so tidy and neat, full of colour. Thanks so much Sherry for showing it.
Lynn Manchester says
Wish my sewing room could look like that but, unfortunately, I taught my husband to quilt, so now I have to share my space. I have the bad habit of reorganizing every time I give my room a good cleaning, so I keep a small address book that I fill out in pencil.. I write down the storage container description and location of less frequently used items in the book so I can find them.
Sue DeMasellis says
Love your sewing studio! Would like to know where you purchased your cutting mats???? Have never seen grey mats and am in need of a new one..
sherri McConnell says
They are actually navy…and I think you can find them on Amazon and Fat Quarter Shop. They are by Olfa.
Thank you!
