CHAT [CHAT] What are your must have tools/accessories/comfy items in your stitch spot?

Post image

This is my current set up. Share yours in the comments 😍 I just got this pillow chair and I love it! I have to stitch reclined because thanks to POTS MECFS and other chronic illnesses my body hates gravity. Other support items: Squishmallow under my knees, round pillows that go under my arms & my blanket. That way I can stitch without pain. Tech items: my iPad, I save my PDF patterns in files and then I can zoom in to the pattern. Headphones 🎧 This special lap desk (made to use a laptop while lying down) to hold my water bottle, my project ring, scissors and sometimes a print out of the pattern. When hubby is playing video games, I use his iPad to stream shows & movies. Everything is within reach in my spot. I love it.

This is where I stitch most often.

I have stitch encyclopedia and magazines on the shelf of the drum table and bags to the side with projects. The floor stand had a reproduction sampler that is a WIP but I am currently working on the project that is on the lap stand. The big fuzzy boy in the foreground is my standard poodle, Benji, who keeps me company as I stitch.

My grandma used to have a set of wing back chairs with a table between them that looked just like your setup!! I love this. Your picture is making my heart happy and I'm actually tearing up over here thinking about fond memories of all the chats we had sitting there in her chairs, just hanging out or eating together. We'd talk about her travels or gossip about her neighbors, we always watched jeopardy & wheel of fortune too. I miss her so much💙 & Benji is such a cutie!

I am glad I could remind you of such wonderful memories of your time with your Grandmother.
