FrammaJoy Posted June 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Sew Happy: Sorry, just now saw your question about the jacket pattern. It is Susan Italo\'s Wild Onion Jacket. Just google it. Very easy. Phyllis: I really think you should come down here for lunch and spend the night. I would LOVE it. Someone needs to baby me after my surgery, lol, and you are such a super nurse. JUST KIDDING. Suppose to be fine with maybe the need for some Advil for a few days. But really, would love for you to visit. We could both make a bow-tucks purse and you would have another class sample. Maybe use matching fabric so we can quilt both at the same time. (FYI to everyone else: Phyllis is teaching now at a LQS on how to make that darling tote/purse you all saw me carrying at MQS. AHAAAAAA!!! I\'ll post a picture. Oh, and the surgery I am having is for vericose veins via some new lazer invention.) Hugs, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrammaJoy Posted June 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Here\'s a picture of the darling purse/tote that Phyllis made for me. If you were at MQS, you saw me carrying it everywhere. It has about 9 pockets inside! I, of course, had to make matching t-shirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Linda S Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Great studio Joy. I wish I had that much room (and that I was that tidy! ) Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrammaJoy Posted June 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 HEY LINDA! I was thinking about you last night and wondering how you are these days and what you are up to. I know you must be super-skinny by now. Wish I was. Thanks for the compliment. I\'m not always that tidy. Remember, I JUST moved in. I\'m being careful trying to keep it neat because it is new, but I\'m sure that will pass soon. You just cannot be a quilter and not make a mess. Last week, I was carefully throwing all the threads and little scraps in the trash. This week, they are all over the floor. By next week, I may have to shovel a path.

Sandra Darlington Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Oh boy, I really love your quilting space. Gorgeous!!! I\'m in a basement, although the one end does have windows to the back yard, so I have some light during the day (while I\'m away at work). I have to constantly move things out of the way to walk around the room and cut through it to get to the laundry room. BUT, at least I have a dedicated room for my stuff, even though it is too small.

dorrlady Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 That is such a beautiful room! We have a huge room above the garage and I would love to have it as my quilt room eventually and I think I want it just like yours! A happy room for a happy quilter.

Jhend Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 I wouldn\'t want a room like that!........not until I can stay home and quilt all day. If I had that room I would never go out. Darn this day job. Joy your room is to die for and tell your husband...way to go. Nicely layed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebm Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 I look and feel green--your space is incredible--I\'m in an unfinished basement (altho there is talk about some finishing...) Your studio is perfect! I tell folks that once I begin quilting I never think about my environment--which is true! That said...how inspiring, uplifting, motivating it must be to work in your space! Good for you!! Jane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxooms Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Wow, what a haven, outdoes all the "man caves" I\'ve seen. And disgustingly CLEAN, too! Now tell us, does it really stay that clean all the time? If so, that\'s illegal! Marlene in Tahoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mclemons Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 What are the dimensions of your new quilting space? It is just wonderful!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancingstitcher Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Great space Joy. It has all the ingredients for success in anything you do. In one of the recent magazines there was a request for articles and photographs of sewing spaces for an upcoming section in their magazine and yours would be perfect. Maybe someone online saw it too and can remember the information. Your quilts are lovely too Joy. Vicki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judi Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Originally posted by SheriB the big room above the 2 1/2" stall garage, so mine\'s not as big....... Oh Sheri - I just had a laugh when I read this! You are really thinking piecing aren\'t you? Must be a VERY tiny space!! Joy - I LOVE your space!! I am with a few others here, not in the dining room, but in the living room. Someday when we finish the basement I might move down there.... which would not be too bad. It has over 9\' high ceilings and I get to tell him where to put the lights. It is still just 2 by 4\'s and the load-bearing walls.... so it could be awhile!!

Phyllis Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Wow, Joy! What a wonderful studio you have. You are the envy of all of us. I have my sewing scattered out into 3 rooms. I\'d really love to have it all in one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgene Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Joy, My quilting friend has an attic she wants to convert to a studio. She\'s looking as yours as an inspiration and something to model hers after. Two Questions: 1. What are the dimensions of your space? 2. Where do you keep your stash? Thanks. P.S. I love the white walls and wood floor and all that S P A C E ........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlette Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Joy, You did a lovely job of creating a space for your passion and as Shana said, it fits your name perfectly! If you weren\'t smiling on the way up there you sure would be once you walked in the room. And there\'s even a place for goodies! A couple of gals mentioned you\'re in MT..where. I\'ll be in Kalispell end of July and most/all of August. I\'d love to meet you. I have to show these pics to my hubby...I really would love to convert our attic to a sewing/quilting room. It\'s 25 X 40\'. It\'s over our garage too and already has a nice subfloor. I like the way you put in the big window at the end. DH keeps saying I would need to have a dormer put in for additional light and floor space. He keeps fogeting my present sewing roomi s 12 x 12! My future LA will be going in the basement..it\'s all finished nicely but no windows. The attic would allow me to have it all together except for my stash...that just wouldn\'t fit!

annlittle1 Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 I\'ve been doing "crash sewing" trying to get all of my class samples ready before Monday, so I haven\'t been on the computer much. I\'m just now getting caught up on reading this forum. Joy, I\'d love to come up and visit you. I\'ve got to see your gorgeous quilt studio in person. While Joy says she is messy and her studio is just as messy as the rest of ours, I can guarantee that it isn\'t. I saw her sewing room the morning we left for MQS. It was spotless and I think she\'d just finished making two or three shirts the day before. She says she just makes sure she cleans up after each project before she starts the next one. The problem with that is that I never finish one project before I start the next one; therefore, my cutting table is stacked in layers of projects and I work in the middle of the table in about one square foot. Joy, looking forward to getting together again. Is your surgery next week? Back to work. I\'m trying to get caught up with all of the stuff I postponed to get my class samples completed.

jebger Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 I KNOW the Bible tells me envy is a sin... I\'m struggling here. This is the most beautiful spacious organized room I\'ve seen. Love it! I know you\'ll enjoy working there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
