Well as I have been "bragging" about this wonderful new studio that you all
know I am so thrilled with, I just have to tell you one more wonderful thing.
I decided the way I designed my cutting table is just perfect! Since I
stand when I am cutting fabrics I had the cutting table made just for my
personal height. And believe me when I say that is soooo important... For
the first time that I can remember I did not get a back ache from cutting
fabrics. I cut fabrics the last two days for hours at a time and because I
did not have to bend in the slightest "no pain"!!! And I was able to cut it
without getting tired!
last night I cut another 24 FQ's for a swap on the internet. I cut 26 the
day before and some 200 8" charm squares... PLUS I did several quilt blocks
that were cut and pieced. This part of my sewing work space is just perfect.
I also made myself a good small moveable sewing table for my sewing
machine. Again I want it a bit higher than the standard so I dont have to
bend in the back to do what I want to do. I took a metal aquarium stand and
mounted a piece of formica covered wood... just like my counter tops. It is
only about 16x32", just large enough so I can set a notion or two to the
sides if I need to.. and the nicer part is that it is moveable and I can move
it to the center of the room when I am working on a larger quilting
project... and there is plenty of space to spread out with out it getting
caught up or hung up on tables or walls... plus I can have it next to the
puter so I can sew and talk here with my friends at the same time and that is really great!!!
I have just about everything moved around... there is still some fabrics
that I need to do something with, but I am sure I will figure that out in
short order... just a matter of organization ...
Well now it is back to the crafting!!!
