Since returning from Houston 3 weeks ago, my studio has been a mess. I have several projects going at once, things are heaped up everywhere. So it is not a pleasant place to work. Take a look:
 |
| The Cutting Table |
 |
| The Q20 flat surface perfect for dumping stuff |
 |
| Ironing Station and boxes I might need for shipping sales |
 |
| Rocking Chair, another dumping spot |
 |
| Right side of sewing machine |
 |
| Left side of sewing machine |
 |
| Cozy chair/dump site |
 |
| The Design wall at the moment |
Before I go any farther, I must make some order from all this chaos!
Several hours later... (because I used the time to cut up all the fabric needed for 20 blocks used in Pick A Petal and design a Baby quilt)
 |
| From the doorway |
 |
| Cutting Surface ready to go, Disappearing Patchwork on the Design Wall |
 |
| Two more blocks for Pick A Petal ready to sew on the left side of the machine |
 |
| Ironing Station all set, no more boxes on the floor |
 |
Wow!
|
Now I am ready to get to work.
Pick A Petal, the 2024 FREE Block of the Month for Star Members of
The Quilt Show has its' own tote, everything all together:
 |
| The Fabric Kit and optional Template Set--essential in my opinion |
 |
| All together in their own tote |
Another "MUST DO" Project is a baby quilt for my next grandchild. An alphabet quilt with a Winnie the Pooh back--my son loves Pooh so I bought this fabric more than 25 years ago. I dug it out today to find it is 60" wide decorator fabric, designed as panels. It will be the back and I won't be hand quilting this one:
 |
| The design I worked up in EQ8--the letters will be LOTS of colors |
 |
I will create a pieced back with these panels and Confetti will be the background fabric on the front of the quilt
Another quilt I have to get made right away is Antelope Canyon--Dit Dot Evolution. I am teaching it locally at Southern Charm Quilting Huntsville AL March 19 and April 2, 2024. So this top is first priority:
There is one other project I am eager to make, the only fabric/pattern I bought in Houston--actually, I bought it at The Quilted Skein on my day trip to La Grange, TX. It was just so beautiful, easy, and on sale:
So there you have it. My studio space is once again my refuge and I smile when I come in and see it looking like this. Chaos will return in time but for now, it's neat, tidy and ready to welcome me in.
Let's quilt!
