Gail O Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Dory, this isn't Ardelle, but the shelves under her machine are "Alex" from Ikea. The narrower, but taller, 9 drawer unit in the series, will hold cones upright in 6 of the nine drawers. g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KerriM Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Love your space Ardelle! Very organized. Can you tell me where you got the white drawers under your Milli for thread storage? I love those and all the shelves. Kerri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarenH Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Great spaces!! I agree with Georgene, I always wonder what other gals have for their studio space, thanks for sharing so many great ideas!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cblevins Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 I have tons of space but.........oh to be so organized!!!!!! I spend half my time hunting. I have almost decided I would be better off with less space so there wouldn't be so much room to lose stuff. I need someone to organize me!!!

dpsquilter Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Ardell How did you hang the batting on your batting storage/shelf. I would love to see that if possible. I tried to do this and never could figure it out. Shelia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoseCity Quilter Posted February 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 You guys make me smile! Thanks for your great comments. Dory andKerri, Yes the units under my Milli are Alex from Ikea- just looooooove them. Sheilia, I used velvro to hold the batting in the wire shelves. It needs to have a twist in it to work. I will try and take a picture for you, but will not be at the store tomorrow (medical app. in Edmonton). Linda- yes please, come and play! Door is always open! Dell- Ok, when shall I come organize you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoseCity Quilter Posted February 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Ok, I'll be honest, those pictures of my home studio where taken Just after we finished moving back in after renovating the room, no time to be messy yet. Just look at the picture of the window- it's winter here now. If I were to take pictures now it is still organized, just not quite so tidy.

DoryJM Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Ardelle, I just love how organized you are and how everything is labeled. I thought those were the Alex cupboards from Ikea. Unfortunately, the nearest Ikea is 3 hours away, so it will be awhile before I'm there. Such a wonderful place(s) for you to work in!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisee Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Great ideas Ardelle! Now that our new house has most things organised and at the painting stage......floors to be laid Feb 28th...shift in March 7th.....I can concentrate on my quilting studio. I want to be sure that I make the maximum use of the available space ready for my Milly delivery. Are those clear storage containers with the white lids also Ikea? and how have you organised the items stored in them? Extremely thankful for any extra ideas you may have. Oops, I had mistakenly posted this on Linneamarie's post...might make more sense here lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoseCity Quilter Posted February 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Chrisee, Thanks! The clear boxes on my shelves are shoe boxes from a chain store here in Canada called Zellers, and they are a brand specifically made for Zellers. They recently changed the dementions of the box and they no longer fit on my shelves :mad: I organize the things in them in several ways. Sometimes I keep collections together (ie, Jo Morton in one box, Nancy Holverson in another), sometimes by type (all my flannels in one box and all my Batiks in another) and sometimes by color (reds in one, whites in another. It depends... Helpful aren't I... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustee Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 Ardell, How wonderful!! I love your studios and the organization. I too would like to see how you hold the rolls of batting on the wire shelves. I am getting ready to move into my new studio. Just waiting for the floor to be installed. I have been looking for ways to be more organized. I am definately going to use some of your organization skills. My hubby is a cabinet maker so I am going to keep him busy making some of those cubbies and drawers for under my Millie. Thanks for sharing. Bless you.

DoryJM Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 Your spaces(!) are so nice!! I love the cabinet under you Millie; I bought one after I first saw yours. My only complaint is that they don't make one the same size with different depth in the drawers. What is hidden in all those boxes with labels??? And seeing the "copied from someone else" batting rack is making me run right into my studio to see if I can copy it from you! We even have one of those shelves that hasn't been put together yet (its waiting for Dennis' yurt to be put up). I think that means its fair game...right??? Do you have poles in the middle of the batting rolls or are they just sitting there? Great studios!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandmaLKB Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 I have my batting rolls on the same racks. There is a wood dowel rod through the cardboard tube of the batting and extends about 6" out on each end. I looped velcro through the spaces in the wire and the dowel sits in a "sling" made by the velcro. The slings could be made from anything that works for you.
