Studio before and after

Wow! Thank you so much for showing us your before and after. That took loads of courage! I finally have a space to call my own and I did not think I had room for a design board. (That was/is something I really want/need!) After looking at your studio I saw you have a small one on your wall; looks like it's sitting on the table or perhaps hung over it. Then it was a smack to my forehead moment!! Yes, I can have a design board, on the blank wall next to my sewing table. Thanks so much for the idea!

It is so interesting to see other peoples' work space- and so reassuring that you are not the only one who enjoys being surrounded by so much apparent chaos - which is a puzzle to anyone who doesn't share the same creative itch.

WoW! You did a great job!! I like your idea of having corners for each area. I'm just getting passed traditional quilting into the art realm and am a tad scared about where all the new requirements will be housed! Your room is MUCH neater than mine. I got a huge box of chiffon scarves at an auction last month and I'm anxious to do something with them. Love the mag - my favorite!!

Robbi, If you are offering to come to my studio and categorize my books by good ole' dewey, then get your knitted behind over here! Liz--you're right. I need more fabric. I bought some of Wendy Richardson's overdyes this past weekend in Chicago. Have you seen her fabrics?! I always drop at least $100 in her booth (easy!) Maggie, Denise, and Clare--Thanks for the comments on my studio! I haven't had a chance to get in there for a couple of weeks and to be honest, I'm a little afraid to mess it up!

Thanks for sharing, I just recently purchased a quilting table and was wondering how to squeeze it into my studio. All these wonderful ideas will help me to make the best of my cramped work space. Your article is most helpful. Thanks again Clare (Cobar NSW Australia)

Pokey, you just don't have enough fabric to call it a stash...you need more! Liz

It looks lovely. ON THE SURFACE.I certainly hope you alphabetized those books within their proper categories. Or used the Dewey Decimal system. Last night I was looking for a crochet hook I knew was somewhere in the family room. Brian said "don't you have a drawer full of them labeled "crochet hooks, size 1-8" and another labeled "crochet hooks size 8-16"? I said "no, they are in the drawer labeled, "Knitting needles. Are you making fun of me?" See you Thursday. Love, Robbi
