Let's Build A Studio - Part 3

The work progresses on the remodel converting an oversized two-car garage into my new sewing room and workspace. Obstacles are never fun, but somehow we have to try to learn from them. Two problems crop up and the project is just getting underway.

Look What's New! - Spooky Tree Kit!

My initial response to the poll on the right was to create a small version for you to make! Don't worry - I WILL finish the Night on Bald Mountain quilt. I figured since most folks liked it, they might like to try it. Spooky Tree (20" x 25") was my answer to an assignment to make something fun for the October 2011 issue of The Quilt Life magazine.

The sky and tree fabric were created just for this kit. The kit includes all the fabric for the top and borders. The pattern comes with a variety of tree faces, but you might create one of your own. And, when you do, don't forget to send me a picture!

Dare to quilt where the wild things are!

Let's Build A Studio - Part 2

Here's a video from the first day of demolition. The garage is being totally gutted. Today we begin to suspect problems with the floor. I'm off to Denmark so it will be a while before i can provide any updates. Your ideas and comments about what to include in the new studio have been amazing. Thanks

Let's Build A Studio - Part 1

Well, I'm embarking on a remodel that will convert an oversized, two-car garage into a quilting studio and office space. What suggestions do you have for things I MUST be sure to include to keep me better organized?
