more studio play

78 quilts photographed today.

What a trip down memory lane, digging out all my quilts that I have left here in bins.... hanging them up to get a collection of shots of quilts to now, keep track of, as they move out of my door, into other's homes.

This new space, means, I now have two studio spaces.  I've had a few questions about what happened to my old studio in my loft. It's still there, as listed in the last post, I'm expanding! I now have this space in a separate office building, which is right next door to my building here in NYC. This space shown, is a  "build out" office space, but for my use, I do not need to do any building! I need the big glorious walls!!

Bathrooms are on each floor... Most of the offices here are creative types, small business start ups, architects, fashion designers, photographers etc. I even have a guy who prints fabric next door! ( more high end then spoon flower) the fashion industry will sometimes print up digitally particular designs for fabric in upwards of $500 a yard...  Many pattern makers, interior designers and even a hair salon a few floors above me. So, it's an interesting building.

And just a few steps away from my home loft building, that it makes it perfect for me. My creative "Mess" is now out of my very minimal home.


I did a short video here. I updated this on my iphone, but will drop in the proper link later. ( I'm
Off to teach today)

The rest of the day was sorting Book quilts from 15 Minutes of Play, (That was three bins alone, which I did not have to photograph, thank goodness!!... as all that was done for the book) from a bin full of quilts that just need binding!  After that I spent, lining my 13' walls, to be my new design walls!! I can get 6 quilts up at once in this space... I can not wait to get fabric flying in here!

After cleaning up the stuff I' have slowly moved over, I decided the cozy chair needed to be installed.
...and tested....

I had to make sure it was cozy.
Feet up.... ahhhhhh.

;-)

Hoping Monday or Tuesday, to get all the fabric, fabric cubby, and cutting table moved into the space. Soon after that....maybe another couple weeks, before I can get my long arm brought in from my house... to this new space.

Sunday,I can play here a bit more.... Saturday I will be teaching on long Island at the Evening Star quilt guild.
