CrazyAboutQuilting 156 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Here's one view of my modest "Lenni Room". It is only 12 x 12 and I share one wall with my DH for his computer/desk and inkjet printer, but that's ok because it allowed me to be able to get my dear Lenni . A 10 foot table is all that I could manage, but it works for me and I'm happy with it. I had to take one of the closet doors off completely when we upgraded to Bliss last spring because the legs on the table are way to the outside of the frame so there wasn't enough room for it. The closet is on the left end of my frame. With the door open on the closet, I have 2 feet around the end. 100_1991.jpg by fluffy_mar, on Flickr Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RoseCity Quilter 570 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Could not live without all my shelves.... (this is my studio at home, not the one at our store where my Milli is) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RoseCity Quilter 570 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Best part of my set up at the store is my Milli is in our classroom, so there is almost always someone keeping me company all day! Yes, I do love that, guess I am really a people person... (taken from the back side of Milli, which is 3 ft from the wall) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RoseCity Quilter 570 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Oh, I almost overlooked this, my batting rack is fabulous... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BunkHouseQuilts 0 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Next to my design wall, this is probably my favorite part of the studio. My power cord arrangement my hubby fixed for me: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sharon M 28 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 can I play too? I wanna see what you all have! I'm about at the same stage as Dory. My studio is in progress.... converting a portion of our 2 car garage. DH suggested that I take the front part for my space so I would get lots of natural light. We're replacing the overhead doors with windows.... oh boy, I love those windows! ....exciting day for me when the first one went in. DH said we should leave the doors on as they would make great blinds! (now for the picture, if I can remember how to post one) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sharon M 28 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 one more.... it has been like this for a few months now. (Life got in the way of progress) The partitions are up. This is taken from behind the space my Millie is living in now. My new room is going to be about 15' x 22'. Can hardly wait..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
quilted charm 1 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I'm so excited! I just got my Dee lites in today, and just finished installing them. Yes, I did it all by myself! They are awesome! I can actually see now. Just wish I had had them when I was working on the Christmas gifts with black thread on black fabric:o The whole "studio" is in an 11 x 14 room, and my poor son-in-law spent hours, over the Christmas holidays, helping me re-arrange it so that I could actually use the whole length of the long-arm. Previously, one end of it was in the small area where the cutting table is now, and I had to lean over to quilt anything on it. Not fun. Now I can walk the entire length of it, and walk around it! We put it kind of catty corner across the room. It works:) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sbcquilts 4 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Ardelle, your batting rack, is it a commercial kitchen shelving? Also, how are the batts suspended in between the shelves?? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WestieMom 29 Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 I want to play too! Everyone's studios look great. Mine is in our basement and I hate the supports in the middle of the room...but I guess that's better than having the house fall in... Here is my Lenni, "Sweet Jenny" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My power cord arrangement my hubby fixed for me: I love your power cord set up. I'm showing it to my husband today!! Yay! Just so you know, that little thingy that travels on the wire is available at any truck stop. It's the retractable item that truckers use for their CB radio mics. It makes the power cord completely free with no drag at any place on my 14 ft. table. The other supports farther back are long springs. Hard to see in the photo.

Sheila Poore 1 Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Ann, great set up on the power cords! I've got to get there, I have a 14' table and have a lot of drag end to end. Thanks for Sharing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also, how are the batts suspended in between the shelves?? Thanks. The shelving was given to me by a friend, I believe he got them from an industrial supplier. There was a post some time ago, don't remember who, that we copied. Velcro is used to suspend the batting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DoryJM 76 Posted January 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 I am loving all the pictures and ideas I'm seeing almost as much as I'm loving hearing the pounding of hammers outside. Enticing the guys with pizza if they'll work late since I know they're going to be watching playoff games over the weekend. Today is electrical; Monday should be insulation and sheet rock. That's the home stretch!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
