Cant believe its all mine!

Two years ago we bought our first house and I got a big loft as my quilting studio. Yay!
It still needs tons of work (like nice lights and hardwood floor) but it already looks the way we wanted. See that huge recliner? That was planned for my DH way before we found the house :)

Nice space! What is your design wall made of? Frame with flannel? How is it fixed to the wall?

Wholeheart Mom 08-01-2016 09:58 AM

Wow..... what a beauty of a sewing room :) You are so blessed, and I know you will enjoy it to the max!

Your quilting room is gorgeous. I really love it. Can you keep it orderly, as the pictures show, when you are working on a project? I am moving from a specially built quilting room just for me, to a tiny bedroom quilting room. I have to downsize drastically. I am planning on organizing containers and storing them in the basement so that I can find what I want when I need it, but I know it will be a hardship. Even so, I have to down size and move to a small home since my husband passed away recently. Enjoy your wonderful area.

I am so jealous! With that much space I just might be able to keep my sewing area tidy and organized.

lots2do 08-01-2016 10:14 AM

Lovely space. So much room to move around!

Jane Quilter 08-01-2016 10:21 AM

We made a frame with window trim and stapled batting to the back starting from the mid-points. Then mounted it to the wall as an oil painting, we just used three nails because of the size. The batting is flush to the wall. So far so good.

I am sorry for your loss.
I came a long way from a dining room table in a kitchen to this room, so i do remember how tight and inconvenient it was before.

Clean? No way, I wish. When in process it is a huge mess. I just clean every time before i start a new project. It helps :)

What a beautiful room -- how nice to have a spot where your hubby can spend time with you. My room isn't very big and is completely full! I won't ever have any as big and nice as yours -- enjoy it you deserve it.

zozee 08-01-2016 12:11 PM

Wow. Marvelous bit of quilting real estate to play in!

Cam's gram 08-01-2016 12:26 PM

How wonderful!

cashs_mom 08-01-2016 02:02 PM

You quilting room is so nice. After seeing how neat it is, there is no way you are going to see pictures of mine :D

Karamarie 08-02-2016 04:26 AM

That is the neatest sewing area I think I have ever seen. I'm sure it looks like all of our areas once we're working on projects.

ManiacQuilter2 08-02-2016 04:35 AM

You sure have a lot of space! I like my cutting table behind my back (when facing my Bernina) so it's so really simple for a twist to the chair to go from sewing to cutting. Be very careful with indirect light because it can fade your fabrics over a few years.

lindaschipper 08-02-2016 04:41 AM

I love the floral quilt on your wall....do you know the name of the pattern??

sash 08-02-2016 05:43 AM

Beautiful studio; i am green with envy.

Sew Freak 08-02-2016 08:22 AM

Thank you. I like your setting but i put my space in a triangle for a purpose to get up and walk every time i need iron or cut. Helps with my knee problem a lot.
About the light i agree with you, me is from CA too. I just hope new windows we put recently with all that needed numbers by code will protect my stash.

Oh, thanks a lot! There is no pattern for that quilt, sorry cant help here, it is mine and i am still working on it. However the appliqué block is from one of 100 Block Quiltmaker magazine.

Wanabee Quiltin 08-02-2016 09:17 AM

So clean, beautiful.

caspharm 08-02-2016 09:31 AM

That is a nice space. I love your fabric cabinet. Is it a lawyer's bookcase?

tlpa 08-02-2016 09:47 AM

Love seeing the pictures! What a nice place to sew.

TWH4Gail 08-02-2016 10:12 AM

I love the way the fabric is perfectly organized and easily visible for selection. But how do you organize your scraps or smaller pieces, like fat quarters and such? I need help in that area, desperately...

brandeesmom 08-02-2016 11:53 AM

Congratulations! Your space is wonderful, happy sewing!

Carol34446 08-02-2016 01:28 PM

I am green, lucky you it looks great just as it is. Have fun.

costumegirl 08-02-2016 01:54 PM

What a lovely room!! You definitely have a creative and roomy space! I also like your cabinets that you are storing your fabric in - easy access to everything you need!

quilts4charity 08-02-2016 02:49 PM

Amazing studio, you are a lucky girl!!!!

Cookie46 08-02-2016 03:39 PM
