My Studio, A Typical Day

Reality! This is a typical day in my studio. I’ve got this huge table 98” by 98”; a conference table I bought for $100 when a company was going out of business. You would think that with a table this big I would have plenty of room, but it’s always completely full. I do clean it off in between projects, but it doesn’t take long to fill up again.
My studio is a converted two car garage with heat and air conditioning. It doesn’t have all the storage I need, but it’s a great work space. One day maybe we’ll add a walk-in closet and bathroom to it. That will make it easier to do my fabric dyeing which I do in the laundry room in the house or out side in the warm months.

The wall of fabric is a set of book shelves I bought from a paper back book store going out of business. The shelves are a perfect depth; about 6 1/2 inches. All my cotton fabrics are folded to fit in stacks on the shelves; the larger pieces on the top and half yard pieces on the rest.
Yes, I have a long arm. It’s a Gammill; a little over kill for art quilts, but I love it. Quilts like a dream!

I hope you have a dedicated creative space, just maybe not as messy as mine!

Happy quilting and thanks for reading!
