For years and years my friend Irene has used a 9 x 10 bedroom as her sewing room. This year she and her husband Paul have added a 16 x 32 foot room onto the back of their house just for her quilting studio. (Paul is a printer and has an entire building for his collection of antique presses, Linotype machines, etc.) She called me Saturday and asked if I'd like to help move and shelve fabric. Of course!
I knew she had a lot of fabric, but not until I saw it all did I realize the extent of her stash. (And there is more in the upstairs bedroom, she told me, but I didn't go up there.)
We folded and sorted fabric until we filled the shelves of 12 units (30x72x10). Paul has 8 units yet to assemble.

Love the color of this room. What a nice place to create.
ReplyDeleteHoly Mackarel! I'm a piker compared to Irene. I have only filled two big shelving units, so I feel so much better knowing that I'm not alone in owning a stash that will outlive me.
ReplyDeleteThe best part is that she is really making important changes in her space so that it will get used. Brava, Irene!
The new studio looks like a lovely place to create beautiful quilts.
