3/12/15 - CCLQ @ DeeDee's

The members of Cherry Creek Lane Quilters got a real treat today.  It was Dee Dee's BIG reveal of her NEW improved studio!!!  Sorry to say that the blog editor was NOT among those in attendance.  :o((

Everyone was there EXCEPT Jean, Joy, and Linda.  Jean is away and the other two were at work.

If Dee Dee will allow me to stop by after work one day this week, I will snap some pictures to add to the blog.  Otherwise, you'll just have to wait for the next time we are at her house for me to post pics of her then not-sew-new studio space.

Note:  This post has been edited to add photos from a private tour.

Do you have a few minutes?  Come take a walk with me.  We're going on a tour.

Here's a shot taken from just inside the Studio door.  The space is a true WORK room:




On the left is the "Art & Inspiration Center":


 


You have this view  of the "Cutting Center" from the studio entrance:




Step inside and see the "Sewing Center":





 Wait!!  You missed the "Pressing Center":




Once you are all the way inside, turn around and have a look at the "Project Storage Center":




Wouldn't you LOVE to have so much USABLE storage???  I know that I would!!!




One last stop... the "Library Center" hidden beneath the Pressing Center - along with a better view of Dee Dee's new drawers (and we're NOT talking about underwear here!!):




I'm not sure what happened to the photo of Dee Dee's design walls.  Yes.  She has TWO!!  One design wall is on an actual wall, with plenty of room to step away from her work to view the designs.

Oh, wait!

Here is a photo of the "roll up" design wall that was installed above the closet doors.  It rolls down (over the closed doors) like a regular window roller shade shutting out the sun, but it's made of a felt-type material so that project bits can be temporarily adhered to its surface (or, in fact, rolled up WITH the "wall" to store for a future sewing session!):



It's the PERFECT solution for any quilter who has a closet in the sewing room, but no "flat" wall for a design space!!  Let me know if you find out who makes them... Dee Dee couldn't remember.

Special thanks to Barry P. for installing the new cabinets and counter tops!!!

Until next time...
Happy Quilting!!!
