Clean and Organized!

I told you I was reading the latest Studios magazine, looking for ways I can organize my space better.  Today I got it done (with some help from DJ), and I can't remember the last time my table was this clean.


I can't believe what a difference it makes having all my rulers and cutting implements hanging on the wall.  I can see them easily, and I'm hoping that with a place to put them now, I won't waste time looking for scissors.  You can see my three 12 by 12 quilts, I'm waiting for the ink on the labels I printed to dry so I can sew them on before my surface design meeting Wednesday night.  They're going to be part of a special exhibit at HMQS in Salt Lake in May.

I'm thinking of making a window covering with this fabric I dyed, discharged, then printed at a workshop with Judith Traeger a few years ago.  Shannon thinks it is way too bright, I rather like it.  My studio is in the basement, so it's not like I have a magnificent view or anything.  I just need to enlarge the piece a bit with black.  What do you think?


I'm on a media-dictated respite from my Interpret This! piece- can't do anything else on it til Tuesday.  I'm hoping to start quilting it next weekend.  It will be nice to do that with a sparkling clean work area!

I enjoy seeing all that's displayed on your walls. Your space looks like a wonderful place to create. As for the window covering, couldn't that be changed out to display whatever wonderful piece of fabric pleases you "at the moment"?

That is a good looking space. I like the drop down cabinet/sewing machine combo plus your artwork is up on the wall. Very inspiring!
