I am back! It has been a whirlwind the past six weeks. I had no idea that moving into a second home would involve so much time consuming detail work. But! We are moved in and my studio is taking shape.
A pivotal moment was when the makings of a design wall were added to the space:
A few days later, I was given the ‘okay’ to begin moving in.
Next I focused on finishing my design wall:
Finally, my new sewing table arrived for my big Bernina. It was custom built by a local woodcrafter and it is perfect.
The only thing left was to commence sewing!
I can’t say that was the easiest part. I thought I might just jump into the art quilt of an Irish cottage that I was starting last fall. But, I quickly realized that re-emerging was going to be a longer process. Fortunately, moving my studio cross country meant looking at all the miscellaneous stuff I had accumulated over the years. I found a group of blocks that just begged using. So, I am starting off simple – designing a lap quilt.
It feels great to be back behind my machine and to be posting again.
Posting once again to Nina-Marie’s Off the Wall Friday.
Your new studio is beautiful! I love all the storage and your large design wall and custom sewing table are wonderful. What a lovely place to create!
And great views too! Going through all your fabric is a good thing, right? It get ideas percolating for me. Maybe the moose will be watching you!
Welcome back, Judy. I’m super impressed that you are back working in the studio after a mere 6 week hiatus for your move.
Wonderful, Judy. I’m excited for you and your beautiful new space!
Judy, Your studio looks wonderful – so light and airy. Congratulations on the move. I know how hard it is. I was down for about 9 months with the move and getting the studio together. After a couple of projects, the sewing will be right back where you want it, just like riding a bike.
Looks like a very comfortable space in which to create. Glad you are settled.
