I just had to thank you all for your kind words and lovely compliments.
My studio IS a dream come true. To answer some of the questions, the floor is stained concrete "luv it", the room dimensions are 15 1/2 X 17 1/2 plus the 5 X 5 1/2 sink area. I actually designed and drew the plans for the entire house, including the studio on regular graph paper (lots of pieces taped together) and my husband built about 95 % by himself the rest was helping hands from relatives and friends. The design wall is two 4X8 sheets of 1 1/2 inch thick styrofoam insulation covered in batting then attached to the wall. As far as needing a micro/fridge to complete the room...nope, the kitchen is in the next room so I don't have to go far. I can literally spend all day in this room. I will try to post some pics of the rest of the house tomorrow.

WOW so neat and organized ! :mrgreen: And big and roomy ! A dream come true.

Beautiful! I have to settle for 1/2 my bedroom :cry: and we're talking major over-crowding there!

Everytime I see this, I just drool, LOL. What a dream come true!

Drool drool.

I'd love to see pictures of the rest of the house.

can I come play?

Like I said before ; When can I move in?

Oh my....... Drooling here. Hey everyone, lets go play at Jaynie's ...... :D

more major drooling!!! Wow, imagine building the home that you design with the quilting studio that you want and designed yourself!! Wow!!!!

Awesome! Amazing ! I just hope you realize how fortunate you are. I am fortunate to have a room that I can close off "if need be." :? My multi hobbies (quilting, church sewing, scrapping, plus) all share a 12 X 12 room. The large closet is over-flowing, there are bins everywhere (even in our bedroom). I do have one area set aside for the sewing machines and one for the scrapping. But I do have to share the same table for each. I have learned to clean up (pick up) that area each time I stop, because then it is ready when the whim hits me to change gears for a while. I LOVE YOUR ROOM.

Is that a Singer Featherweight sewing machine on your shelf?

No Carol, I wish I had a Featherweight, but I don't. The machine on the left is a hand crank model, but I have never found a brand name on it. the one in the middle is a Homestead brand and the tan colored Singer on the right belonged to my grandmother that taught me quilting & crocheting.

Your sewing room looks great!!

By the way I would love to have you all come PLAY in my studio....wouldn't that be a hoot. My best quilting friend and I always spend lots of time in here when she visits,~~ a glass of wine, a bunch of new quilt magazines or new quilt books and we can spend hours playing, laughing, matching fabric to patterns and of course laughing some more.

Oh wow. That looks like a dream come true. Wonderful designing and wonderful work.

Jaynie, is that tan Singer a 301 or a 401? My mother still sews on her 301 and my daughter has my 401. All they do is straight stitch, and has a reverse stitch. They used attachments for buttonholes. I bought my 401 in 1962. She probably bought her 301 in '55 or '56.

A great job in your design. I like it!

*Loads up her car with her stash*

So want to play? I'll be there in the morning...

*grabs industrial size bucket to absorb all the drool and hops in the car*

I have a 401A, mine will do all kinds of decorative stitches...I have made a few quilts on it. Love your studio :D

Gail,
The Singer is a 503A model. It has the interchangable cams that go in the top for decorative stitches. My Nannie used this machine for many years, but on the rare occasion that it had to go to the shop she would still use her treadle....she sewed for the public. I didn't get the treadle, but my cousin nearby did, so I can visit it.

Jaynie,
This is one fabulous sewing room. I want to see the rest of it where the fabric hides...
and I want to come play, too. :lol:

Wow, Jaynie, that 503 was really uptown for the day. I, too, sewed on a treadle at school. Then we progressed to the 301s. There was one "more advanced" machine that only those who had them at home could use. I don't remember, but it was probably a Pfaff or a Necchi machine. The very first machine I sewed on at home was a Blue Grass. Do any of you remember that one. It looked very much like the little Singer.
