This is the design wall, four bypass doors, three feet wide. They are covered with 2" thick foamcore. You can just see the corner of the ironing board which has been topped with a padded board for a wonderful, flat ironing surface. I have most of the comforts of home - a coffee pot, a sink, a mini-fridge, a microwave, a Bose system. If I had an outhouse, I would never leave.
The four bypass doors open to reveal part of my stash. One wall is full of drawers with fabric too small to fold, and bolts of fabric are stored on shelves around the top of the room. LOTS of fabric!!! I have been caught in the act of fondling.........or even talking to it.
This is my beautiful granddaughter, Taren Jade, machine quilting on her latest original creation. She dislikes machine quilting, but dislikes hand quilting even more. She likes the design process and pulling fabrics. Just like her grandmother. The chaise lounge is handy for fainting spells. Or for perusing some of the hundreds of books stashed nearby.
This is my design table. It is 3 X 6, but opens to 4 X 6. The monster orange disc on the design wall will eventually have bits and pieces cut out of it in a reverse applique. I didn't doll up the studio for these photos. Junk is pretty much everywhere - the very happy evidence of work in progress.
