Last week I had the pleasure of interviewing Lilo Bowman, author of Love Your Creative Space (C&T Publishing). In the Quilt As Desired Membership, we have discussed our studio challenges when it comes to making the most out of our space. I am a firm believer that our creative space is our sanctuary, and it yours isn’t feeling that way, there are probably a few things that you can do to tackle some of the problem areas.READ MORE

Wall of Windows in the Quilt Studio
There’s been lots of work happening here at our Santa Fe house. To bring you up to date- We had planned to buy a house with a studio already built, but when we found our house and its amazing location, we quickly decided it was THE house. Its super lovely but small, even for 2 people who downsized before moving in. Adding on to it was always part of the plan. We finalized plans to add on to it in 2020, but COVID and things that go with that initially slowed things down. Construction finally started about 10 weeks ago.
Edited to add- Watch the replay link here.
Some things just take a little time.
Or a LOT of time.
Hope everyone is having a decent week. This week’s Q(uilting) & A video is all about my favorite way to use and combine my quilt batting scraps.
I’m back this week with a new Q(uilting) & Answer video! And this week its about how to get knits and t-shirts ready to use in those classic t-shirt quilts. You know the ones everybody wants to make with their high school/college t-shirts, or the baby’s clothes?
This week I’m talking all about how I store my quilting fabric in my studio! A little over a year ago, I did a huge fabric reorganization. Here’s exactly how I did it, as well as how it’s held up since.
I love using a stiletto when I sew, but I didn’t always!
First of all, the COVID hair is real. If nothing else proves that I am social distancing, my no makeup, untamed brows, and wild hair is my daily look. (I’ve got haircutting supplies on the way!)
I learned years ago that having scissors that cut exactly when and how you need them to is a truly beautiful thing.
