I've finally moved into my own little quilting shed! It's been quite a journey from start to finish, but well worth it. For any who didn't watch the progress: http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-103882-1.htm

Here are pictures of the finished area. Parts are not too neat, but I'm already working in it! I hung the batting on the wall using garden hose hangers from Lowes that were about $5 and a piece of electrical conduit that I already had. I folded fabric using the ruler method. I really happy with it and already enjoy spending time there!

Ohhh I envy you already being back into your sewing room. I know it has to be a great feeling!!

Oh how nice for you!

Please show us pictures of the outside!!

So cheerful and roomy!! Enjoy every moment in there! :D

Ohhh so very nice and roomy. Your yellow looks about like mine. Love the warmth.

Wow...what I wouldn't give for that much fabric ;) How much does a roll of batting like that cost?

Wow, I am so green...........:). o happy for you, happy quilting.

what do you mean you folded the fabric with the ruler method ? pm me please
It looks so neat and organized and all the same size !

It's just lovely! Congratulations!

Very very nice.... I need something like that for my batting... get it up.. and over head and out of the way... Great idea...

Looks good! :)

I'm totally envious!. Great Space, One to be proud of. Should make quilting a pure joy working in there.

hey..if you hung that batting with the batting coming off the roll the other way you could use it as a design wall too!

Absolutely wonderful. I am so proud for you.

Jaci you are so sharp. Fantastic idea. Beautiful quilting area. Wish I had half the space. Happy quilting!

Love your space. Love the color of the walls and I have the same boom-box. lol Love mine..

Very nice!

Looks great!

Sylviak that looks fab, I am so envious, enjoy. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

LOVE the idea of a the hangars and conduit for the batting. My roll is still in the shipping box.
Last statement is most important - that you enjoy spending time there!
Congrats!

Looks fun!

I wait until I get a JoAnn 50% off coupon and the roll batting isn't on sale. I've forgotton what I paid, but it seems like it was $150 or so. This is 90" X 30 yds.

I use my 6 X 24 ruler. I lay the fabric out length-wise, still folded in the middle on my cutting board. I line the folded edge up with a line on my cutting board, then place the ruler across it and start folding, keeping the folded edge straight. When finished, fold it over once and it fits on a bookcase shelf just right. Here's a couple pics of me folding.

I thought about that after we hung it.. and may turn it around. However, I'm looking for a folding room divider that I can cover. I think reaching over that ironing board would be difficult if I had many pieces to hang. As you can see, I'm not the slimest or tallest person, LOL! As it is, I could pull it out over the ironing board and use it that way if I don't find anything soon.

What a creative space for you! Looks so bright. Great job.

Glad you are enjoying your new Quilting Shed. Happy for you! Your new place looks great. Hope you enjoy may hours of sewing and quilting in your new space. Thanks for sharing.

What a wonderful space :thumbup: :thumbup: Congratulations!!

Looks great! I think I have that same fabric you are folding, Northcott Stonehenge? I have a large sewing room but it is so full, there is no way to put my quilting frame in there. Thinking about making a doorway into the bedroom next door for the frame. Guestroom? who needs that?!

Wow that is nice

Awesome room! Congraulations!

I DO! LOL! That's why we built the shed...so we could have the bedrooms back for when the family comes home. We have three married children and seven grandchildren. And the boys have gotten too big to sleep under the quilting frame! Now I need to spend some time getting those rooms back in shape. I need a futon frame for the office (where my cutting board used to live) and a queen-size bed for the room my long arm was in. We've already turned the walk-in closet (my old sewing area) into a storage area/closet with shelves all around. Our house isn't real large anyway and I felt bad that I couldn't find room to put anyone with all my quilting stuff taking up so much space. My youngest son has already laid claim to the former long arm room for his family. My oldest son and his family live close and can go home to sleep, but occasionally some of them do come up for the night. My daughter and her DH live near Boulder, CO. They don't usually bring all three of their kids at the same time, since two are in college and working. I just needed the space. But....if you don't need a guest room...then cutting a doorway (or double doorway?) might provide you with what you need. Hope you can find a place for your frame.

Oh I just love the way the batting is set up. Your are so lucky to have this beautiful space.

Is your batting still folded on the rod?

SUPER!! Love all the wall space too. Great for displaying things your working on or finished.

Good Golly, Had to go back and take a LONG look at everything it is so great. How big is your room? Very nicely done.
GJoyce

Yes, it is 90" batting and still folded once.

Brilliant!!! I was impressed with the way you hung your batting brfore but this idea rocks!!! Who couldn't use more than 1 design wall?

Fantastic.

If you're looking for a room divider check at Hobby Lobby.. they usually have a few different ones. And if they are not on sale you can use a 40% off coupon!!

WOW WOW WOW
