Progress?

This week, my studio started to look like a work space instead of a dumping ground. Here is a photo.

How long the fabrics will stay nicely folded is one question. The three cabinets across the front hide the project boxes etc. and the tables that are in behind that hold my two sewing machines. The longarm is on the left wall with walking space around it. This space is going to work. I'm already working on a small project (a gift) so cannot show it yet. It feels good to have this much in order. My study is another room, full but not finished, and it has a huge closet. We are setting up another room as a library retreat with a TV and book shelves, and it is still a messy place, but the rest of the house is in pretty good order. Thanks to Pinterest, I found a schedule or two that are helping us keep track and stay on track. Hubby is still working at home, has a back injury too, so most of this task is mine.

Stay tuned... sorting quilts is next. I've too many and the citizens who live in this complex of retirement care plus individual bungalows might like some. Also smaller ones for folks in wheel chairs. This is sometime down the to-do list...

Latest finish plus new studio pictures

 
My last post was more than a month ago, mainly because we moved to a new home. However, I did finish a quilt (photo soon) and now have a larger studio! 

Here are some pictures. The one at the left is the challenge quilt - it didn't win a prize but was so much fun to make. The theme was "garden" and the size had to be 6" x 24". I love these challenges for they give direction but few restrictions. This is raw-edge applique with a few beads.

The next six pictures are of my new studio. The floor is cork. It is a basement, but has a big window and lots of light. 

The first picture is the fabric cupboards. The rest are views around the room with my desk at the last. These were taken soon after we moved so the room is not quite what I want it to be, but such a blessing to have all this space.

The second one shows the latest finish as a top - lying on the floor. (No, that is not a rug!) It is now quilted and bound, but I haven't taken a fresh picture yet.



 





 Now I must get back to work, but have decided to be more faithful with this blog and post something at least once a week. I also took a couple classes from Claudia Pfeil and now know how to quilt that cherry tree hanging on my design wall!
