Wouldn’t you just love to watch someone’s quilt studio being built and outfitted from the beginning? And to be a part of it by offering your best studio suggestions? I’m giving you that opportunity: a glimpse into the building of our new home, and the room I’m most excited about: my new studio. And I’m drawing an Amazon gift certificate from those who offer studio suggestions on this blog!
I’m excited about the opportunity to share with everyone the progress of this new studio. It’s a bonus room above our garage: similar to what I have now, but I currently share that space with my husband. I enjoy our arrangement, because he can work in the evenings on paperwork and we can chat while I quilt.But his business is growing and he needs a bigger office all to himself, so I get a studio to myself. What will I do with all that space? Fill every blessed square inch of it with my quilting stuff!
Here are the photos of the studio as of last weekend:
The right side of the studio, with a window overlooking the yard. The left side of the studio looks the same, as shown in the first photo on this posting. That blank wall will be my design wall.
Here’s the view looking back to the doorway:
Big, huh? My plan to is to put bookshelves all along these walls and store my fabric and books there.
I’d love to hear any suggestions you may have on what you love in your studios. Let’s make it fun and do a contest: submit your great idea for my studio (by commenting on this post), and I’ll draw for a $25.00 Amazon gift certificate from the entries. Submit before the deadline of Friday, July 20th, and I’ll announce the winner on Monday, July 23rd.
Keep checking back for progress reports. This week I’m choosing paint colors and tile!
