Guest Linda S Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 How exciting! This looks like it will be a great space, and it's so CLEAN! Mine's a disaster area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibbyG Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Chrisee, We want to see pictures in six months after you start filling the area. I just can't seem to keep mine organized for long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowflake Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 I really enjoy the tours of everyone's studios, I am getting so many ideas for mine, I just hope 18 X 26 gives me enough room to implement some of you ladies great ideas. I will probably be picking your brains about different ways to store batting, threads and etc. especially all the many "tools" you all talk about using to make the gorgeous lines. Do the majority or all of the tools come with dvd's or a video? I am a visual learner so..I will need to watch someone demonstrate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustSewSimple Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 I really feel your joy! Are you going to post lots of pictures? I hope so!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisee Posted May 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 My Millie arrived yesterday @ 10.30am AND then I had to go back to work!!!! Been working on her today. I am definitely not mechanical, but I am trying to work through it all - with my DH patiently overseeing me,checking what I have done and helping with the heavy bits - so that I can understand how she works....and we have had quite a few visitors which included our 5 week old GS and you do have to take time with family. The hydraulic lift seems like a good idea, but it meant lots of jigsaw pieces AND an extra 9 pages to the work book! My target is to have it finished by Sunday PM....and we are over the halfway....hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primitive1 Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 I'm so excited for you - I've had to juggle grand babies and quilting a lot this year but I have to say...both are so much fun!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisee Posted May 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Thanks Vicki.....do you have a hydraulic lift? or anyone? we have it installed, but no power working??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srichardson Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Hi Chrisee, I look forward to seeing pictures of your room. I love checking out how others have arranged their space and of course wishing my room was bigger. I hope that you are able to get the lift working. I thought that I remembered reading something recently on the site but I could not find the thread. Here is an older one that may help you though.

cblevins Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Chrisee our lift quit working a few weeks ago and someone said that if all the connections are good then it may me the fuse. I have not checked ours yet. It just happened to have stopped working at the perfect spot!!! It is on the "to-do" list. You may want to check and make sure the fuse is good.

chrisee Posted May 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Well my target was to get the rollers on by Sun night!!! and despite a few delays and lots of rereading, THE ROLLERS ARE ON!!!!!! YAY!!!!! Thankyou Cheri and Sue......we did hear a click when we first turned it on.....so we have continued without the Hydraulic Lift working on the advise of another APQS quilter. It has been a very intense couple of days.....of to have a sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judi Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 How exciting!!! Hope you have it all together soon..... take your time though and don't skip any steps. What? Nobody wanted to fly over with the machine and set it up for you? Could be a nice little vacation, sort of. How is the weather there right now?? Too much wind, rain and storms going on around here. Not enough time between storms to get all of the lawn mowed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisee Posted June 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 The furniture for my studio is still happening....waiting for a hydraulic lift - for my DSM - to arrive.....sure is slow to arrive...must be cos we are ' out in the country' even though we have a population of 15,000 and are considered a city!

chrisee Posted July 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Well, the hydraulic lift for my DSM has been installed and I am very happy with the position for my DSM. Had a hiccup with the hydraulic lift for my Millie, but Amy is getting it sorted. My CQ has arrived and nearly installed......where is the rep when you need them? I have done some PPP My DH is currently installing speakers etc fro my sound system. Not ready for any pics yet..... Patience is a virtue, possess it if you can.

chrisee Posted August 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Another item off the 'To Do' list for my studio! DH made the supports for my waddings to be stored in their cupboards and tonight Favourite SIL - I can say that as I only have one! - and DH lifted the rolls into their new home. Next step is to get my cutting table built......lets not rush things! What is that saying? 'It all comes to those who wait' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
