quiltaholi_518 Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Hi all! After thinking about how I wanted this for some time, I fianlly dug in and got my sewing room reorganized. I still have a couple of things coming, like shelf label clips and shelf dividers. Here are a few pics, more on webshots. BTW, this room is a scant 9' X 11'. The longarm lives in another room on the first floor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Sew Simple Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Could you come on down and organize mine? I've re-done mine a few times and mine never looks good like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramona-quilter Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Boohoo, I will have to wait to see the photos when I get home. But I'm with Shana, you can come organize my sewing room anytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBQLTN2 Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 GREAT JOB CARON So how long did that take you. I do mine every six months or so and reorganize my mess till then I can't find anything. my room is 14 x 16 but also houses my Lenni. So we are all very tight and cozy, but when it gets a mess it is hard to work, so I have to keep it picked up more now with the Lenni co- habitating with the little machines. We are all getting along quite well. I think My Little Miss Lenni is the Alpha Female though!! LOL JP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veg-girl Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Oh so tidy and beautiful, in my house it would stay like that for 5 minutes! But it does look super organised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Darlington Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Caron, Your room looks great. Very organized and efficient and looks so nice. My room is about 13 X 14 and houses a microwave cart with a TV on top (not a microwave), a desk, a sewing machine cabinet, 2 bookcases, a cutting table, an armoire and an 11 foot Liberty. It has two doorways (one to the laundry room and one to the back yard) and the steps to go up to the first floor. Oh, did I mention, it is in the basement, although I am lucky to have two windows which look out to the yard.It's sure crowded! My adjoining laundry room holds mucho bins of fabric and my ironing board, plus the washer, dryer heater,etc. If I'm ever "born again" (no, not talking religion here), I will have a quilting space that is large enough to have a nice "studio" and can have small classes held there, and have a "guest" house so I can have retreats.....Hey Mary Beth - Did you ever buy that wonderful round barn to convert into a retreat? LOL OK. I am in work so I better wake up from that day dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boni Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 I love the look of the plastic boxes that are color-coordinated. Oh so organized! And the gadget rack above your DSM is handy. Great ideas. Thanks for the lookie lookie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoAnnHoffman Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 It's fun peaking into people's studios. We should all post pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judi Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 I would post photos after Caron comes over and fixes the space... that would be great!! Sign me up.... am I the 4th one in line?? Boy - oh boy - we sure could keep her busy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catsigler Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 Great job on the organization, Caron. I know that feels wonderful, because I cleaned mine up once and felt all warm and tingly for days. Speaking of organized studios, does anyone watch Living With Ed on Planet Green? The episode I saw today featured a Santa Monica quilter's studio that is worth the price of the DVD just to see her studio. So beautiful and so organized. I'm going to have to do something about my mess......someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltaholi_518 Posted September 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 Well, as long as I get airfair and a couple of hot meals, I am all over becoming the next Martha of the sewing and quilting world. :DDid you know for example that pool noodles make wonderful foundations for rolling up a quilt? (right side out, of course!) they tuck nicely under the bed or in a corner of a closet.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew there had to be a better reason to buy them than playing in the pool....look out next spring...I like that tip better than the folding and putting into a truck idea....Thanks Caron, and should I win the lotto, I'm sending you a ticket. And I'm a really really good cook.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebm Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 You have a magic touch with organizing! The best part--it looks like a great inviting work area! Your airfare will be on my list--but we might defer to Bonnie for the cooking--I'll try to improve my cooking (I just don't like to do it) while I buy the lottery tickets! Thanks for sharing great pictures!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadows4 Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 You've done a wonderful job in there! Everything looks sooo nice and neat! I've been trying to organize mine too. What a huge job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbi Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 Caron! Awesome job with the limited space! My "studio" is 1/2 of my living room... it's 40'x11'. My liv part is half and the studio is half. I also have an 8'x10' BR that I use for storage of all my fabric... Would love to be as organized as YOU!!!

Grammie Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 Looks great Caron, Question, What color and brand of paint in your studio. I love the color. It is a great earthy color. Goes with everything. Hugs Grammie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KerryM Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 Caron, Ever been to Briitish Columbia? You can come redo my studio any time. I have taken some time to sort things out, but mine certainly doesn't look like yours!!! I would cook all day if meant my studio would look like that! Looks great Caron.

Debbie Gibson Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 I went and viewed your other pictures and was wondering what the item was in your embroidery section. It looks like a garmet bag but with pockets? I love how you organized your space and am so envious. Please come and do my sewing space soon!!!!! Great job, you should be proud.
