DoryJM Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 Okay, so here's the challenge: Post at least one picture from your studio. That's it...until you post a picture, no fair commenting or asking questions. I'll start: Here's a picture through the wall that my husband and our friends built today. I'm really liking the size of my space!! 13 x 20 is good!
DoryJM Posted January 11, 2012 Author Report Posted January 11, 2012 Seriously??? 128 people have looked at this post and not one of you have posted anything???? Isn't there one thing in your studio that you love that you have to take a picture of? C'mon now...post something!!! We need some eye candy here!!!
yankiequilter Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 I'll show the design wall, but not the rest of the room! Oh, bother! I have to make the picture smaller.
lisae Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 Okay you asked for it! Here are some photos of my new Dee-Lites! LOVE LOVE LOVE them!!!
Busy Quilting Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 I posted my Thread wall on another post, you don't want to see the mess in the rest of the room!
Guest Linda S Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 LOL Dory!!! We're all scurrying off to clean at least one corner of it so you won't all be appalled by what you see in the photo! However, from experience, I can tell you that when I finally let someone see my studio in all its chaos, they usually say . . . mine's much worse! I'll try to take a pic today (after I clean!). Linda
meg Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 :P:D:P:D;) if you could see the mess, you'd die! here's all i'm willing to show! the trash can...but it is pretty, isn't it?
DoryJM Posted January 11, 2012 Author Report Posted January 11, 2012 See, I KNEW you could do it!!:P:D Remember...you have to have a pic with the post! Here's one of a very important "part" of my studio. Sheetrock and insulation! Lisa...that room looks awesome! Are you loving it?? Carmen, I'm loving your design wall and the design that's on it. That looks like a great pattern!!
lisae Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 Dory, my friend Lisa C's wonderful hubby is building me an awesome cutting/pressing table. THEN my room will be complete! I will be able to store a lot of the stuff that is in the wire baskets under the longarm. I can't stand clutter. I will post pictures of it when it is done.
Matt Sparrow Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 I'm in Had to share this interactive 360 panoramic view of our Studio. http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=0e9a65f3-9615-4ced-9e87-fd3f9883a40f&ref=nf
DL Semmens Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 Only because I wanted to comment on Matt's pic....and the rule was I had to post a pic. I have quilters ENVY!
DoryJM Posted January 11, 2012 Author Report Posted January 11, 2012 Meg, it is pretty. Maybe you should save all those strips to do the wrap around the cord thing with!
aktbone Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 Not part of my studio but thought you guys might get a laugh out of this one. We don't have a fireplace, so my adult children and I made one for Christmas. I sit nearby while I attach the binding on a quilt. LOL
Mrs.A Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 OK... here is a cautionary tale from my studio. Do not, repeat NOT, store your wonderful leftovers in anything that looks even remotely like a trash can. You never know when DH is going to wake up feeling 'helpful' and decide to empty the trash for you. I had this bin full of big chunks of fabric scraps, orphan blocks, etc. By the time I discovered what my helpful husband had done, it was too late. Ooops! Nancy in Tucson
Mrs.A Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 Trying again...resized photo of scrap container. Fingers Crossed.
meg Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 Originally posted by DoryJM Meg, it is pretty. Maybe you should save all those strips to do the wrap around the cord thing with! great idea. but no. if you could see the squalor i am sewing in, you would understand why. i have such a bad case of 'take it out, pet it, arrange with other gorgeous colors, set it on the table and walk away' you can't even believe it! and then there is my other affliction...'that would look so nice with that great set of purples (or blues, greens, golds, reds, orientals...) in my stash, i need to buy 3-5 yards of it before its gone forever' if i lived to be 200 years old, i would never get to all my plans. not to mention, i'm hardly ever home these days. i'm not complaining, cause i love my life....i'm a mercurial mess of menopausal madness ~ but it's working for me! your new space is gonna be great! i bet you can hardly wait. must be frustrating having your LA all covered up and out of commission. hope you're up and running soon!
Mrs.A Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 Let's see if I can get another photo to work. Here's a picture of George in the background, pressing area & DSM are set up at the right of photo and straight ahead, two custom 'islands' where I do the cutting. There is storage below for finished quilts and for projects in the works. Drawers for irons & embellishments. The best part is that the cabinets are on casters...when I need to block a big quilt, they roll apart and I have 3 covered, pinnable boards that sit on top of the cabinets...I can block a quilt up to 85" square without disrupting things in any other room of the house!
Mrs.A Posted January 12, 2012 Report Posted January 12, 2012 Darn it...that's the wrong photo! You can see the two big cabinets I described, and my design wall in the background. Five panels mounted on a track in front of a closet which contains (mostly) my stash. Will try to get the other photo posted soon. BTW, found the neon sign in a junk store! Nancy in Tucson
Mrs.A Posted January 12, 2012 Report Posted January 12, 2012 Nancy A. in Tucson here. Have I completely confused everyone with the lack of photo, wrong caption, etc. etc. Here (hopefully) is the studio view I described earlier...George in the background, DSM and ironing take place to the right, cabinets for cutting, storage & blocking on the left. Sorry I have been messing up the photos.

quietlifeaz Posted January 12, 2012 Report Posted January 12, 2012 You all joke about your quilting having taken over your house...well mine literally has...what was the great room (main room of the house) is now my studio. What was my "sewing room" is the cutting, pressing, storage room.
aleksich Posted January 12, 2012 Report Posted January 12, 2012 there is the start of my new quilting room. She is sort of boring right now as things are getting moved in. She is connected to my sewing room.
