Studio Tour

Saturday my guild did a fund-raiser: an open house/studio tour.  The cost was $10 and there were 6 homes/gardens on the tour from noon-4.  Lessons learned:  fewer homes, another hour.  I had about 30 people here, of the 60 who paid to attend.  As the homes were all over the county, it was very difficult to make it to all 6 homes--one car-full did it!  And we had lots of rain the night before and all that morning--so the gardens at each home were not toured. 

I thought you might enjoy photos of my studio--it took some doing to get things looking this neat and tidy.  The closets were a big hit--18' x 9' tall, 4 rows of shelving, 3 lights.  What I really need to do is empty everything out of there and restock--I'm sure there are things in there I've "lost" that I really need to find.  But I'm just not up to that yet.  Here you go: 









 
It's 21' X 24' and it's all mine. Four sets of fluorescent lights, 2 sets of floor outlets for the sewing machine and iron station.  South and West facing windows--lots of natural light. 

Stuff accumulates to fill the space available--I really do need to empty those closets.  Several guests offered to come "shopping" when I do it.  The last time I had a sale for guild members  I was happy with the results and the shoppers were happy with their purchases.  Might have to have another sale later this year. 

Glad you could stop by--come back any time!

Let's Quilt!

    I hate I missed your house, Barbara. You are right, more time less houses. I only made it to three. It was a wonderful tour and I hope we have another opportunity to see your wonderful studio. I need to organize, organize, organize after seeing the ones I made it to.

    I love the wooden shelves and paint color. Envy the fabric.

    You have a beautiful space ... I hate I missed your house, too -- but I was comforted that I'd seen your cool room in the not too distant past! :)

    Hi Barb, your space is truly wonderful. You must find it hard to leave it and re-enter the outside world. Enjoy and keep creating
