Let’s Be Real Studio Tour

Ever wonder what your favorite quilt pattern or fabric designer’s studio looks like? Where they create their “magic”? A group of us have joined together to give you some fun, casual tours of our creative spaces. Casual meaning …. no clean up!

In my studio, you will usually find projects in many stages, from drawings to samples partially assembled on design walls to stacks of finished quilts. My area used to be a hair salon when the previous homeowner built it. It’s not a overly large room, but it’s bigger than where I used to be. I hope you enjoy this casual tour and be sure to tour all the others!

Have fun and Happy Quilting!

Monday Musing

Hi there! Hope you had a great weekend. Summer is beginning to wind down here in Iowa. We had a warm end to last week, but Sunday was sunny and cool. I took the opportunity to do a bit of fall decorating.

I enjoy decorating for fall and I love fall …. just hate what comes after it!

Another thing I like to do is organize and straighten out my studio. Usually, it’s a mess by now since I’m in my final planning for fall Quilt Market in Houston. So, since I have been getting things in order, I thought I’d give you a little tour of my studio.

First, here a few wide shots showing the whole area from different ends:

It’s a lot bigger than my old work space, but I have managed to fill it up. Not sure what I did in the smaller spaces!

Now for fabric storage. I store large pieces of fabric in this old cupboard:

The smaller folds of fabric, like 1/2 yards, 1/4 yards and fats, are in the lower cupboards in tubs with my scraps of wool in the drawers above:

I like to use antiques and other old items in my studio. My fabric storage for large pieces of fabric above is an old cupboard. I re-purpose other items to store sewing or office supplies. Using them in the studio joins together two loves of mine: antiques and quilting!

Here’s an old pie safe that stores all my books, magazines and some treasured quilts.

Always hunting for those scissors while you are stitching? Here’s a handy tip: attach a Command hook to the front of your sewing machine and hang the scissors there! You will never lose them again.

So, I hope you enjoyed the tour of my studio! Keep watch here because on Wednesday I will have another feature on one of my new patterns for fall of 2017.

Happy Quilting!
