At Last

I have my studio organized!!!!  Well...at least as organized as it's gonna get ;-)

After rearranging the sewing machine, cutting table, ironing board and bookcase for what seemed like a million times, it's just the way I like it!  Actually, I love it!!!

While taking care of my sick baby, I pulled all most of the fabric from the closet and got to work sorting.  Here's a view looking down on my new IKEA shelves.  I took close up pictures of each cubby to remind me of how it once was organized ;-)  There is a cubby (or two) for Christmas fabrics; for batiks organized by colors; cubbies for quilt kits;  several cubbies for fabric sorted by colors; etc.  There is even a cubby dedicated to the Orlando Modern Quilt Guild!

I love having all my jelly rolls, honey buns and designer rolls in one place.

Same goes for charm squares, layer cakes and extra binding strips.

My bookcase even got a cleaning.  I left some of my new fabric I'm still "petting" here.  The original design wall is mostly covered since rearranging the bookcase.  You can see my "ugly" fabric peeking out on the side.  I added a bigger design wall in my closet.  This wasn't my original plan, but I like how it is working out.  The wall is huge but hidden when I close the door.

Here is a glimpse of the other side of my closet.  Some fabric remains ;-)

I found these quilt kits I had bought in Hawaii years ago.  I had just started quilting and had no idea what I was doing.  Don't know what possessed me to buy these paper pieced patterns....they aren't for beginners.

My sewing machine table even does double duty as a desk ... when I need to make sure my daughter is doing her homework ;-)

I even found a little time to sew... when my daughter took a break from her homework.

Have an amazing day!!!
