New Studio

Coming together

Remember this pristine image of my new sewing room back in February?

And the fabric/cutting/quilting room?

I have been hesitant to show pictures of the studio lately as it has been piled high with boxes and cluttered with PIPs (project in progress).  Well, since I am expecting quilting visitors in the next few weeks, the time has come to make an attempt at decluttering.  I started with the fabric/cutting/
quilting room today.

View from the sewing room showing the cutting station:

Cutting station

You can see some of my scrap storage on the left, half of the quilting frame in the rear, and a general purpose "church" table in the center of the room.  I will use that table (assuming I can keep it clear) for measuring for borders and backing, as well as pinning for hand quilting. 

That cabinet on the left came from our kitchen two houses ago.  When we knew the buyer was a developer who planned to tear the house down (please don't be outraged; it made sense), we asked if we could keep the newly installed kitchen cabinets.  I will expand the quilt frame to a full 10 feet and maybe learn how to use it.

Planning station

The cabinetry on this side came from a pediatrician's office. I purchased it at Habitat Re-store for the last house and it was one of the first things we moved here.  Currently on the "planning table" are the potential fabrics for a quilt for our first king-size bed.

When/if I get the sewing room in shape, I'll share that with you.  At this point I am doing well to get to the sewing machine!
