Brenda was feeling inspired by the wonderful book, Where Women Create, and the upcoming periodical of the same name, so she organized a little tour of like minded bloggers of the spaces that we have to create.
I've shown you my studio before on many occasions, but I recently cleared off my cutting table (a rare occasion) so I took some fresh pictures of my studio.
I use a third floor room as my studio. It's pretty small and has no windows. I am looking forward to moving downstairs to a sunnier room once my oldest daughter leaves for college. This is the hallway outside my studio and this is just overflow. A lot of overflow! Beth painted that fabulous sign for me when I did the Maymont Herb Festival Show.
Most of these fabrics are vintage and this is only a portion of it. I know, I am a fabricaholic.
Here is the cutting table all cleaned off. That was yesterday, it's a mess again.
Got to have my little TV going while I'm sewing.
I've gone a little crazy in this space, I don't edit much. I just roll with it all going on.
I'm looking forward to the tour, thanks for stopping by my creating space.









All I can say is WOW! Love all the fabric!

This room makes me want to sew. I can't believe all that material, you love material like I love paper. I love that chandelier and your dress form is the pretties one I have seen. Your space is wonderful because it invites you to create. Karen

I love the hodgepodge of stuff! I had to show my husband the fabric photo with "see I don't have THAT much fabric". He thinks I have too much, and I don't think thats possible! I love your dress form. I have been wanting one for awhile, I just haven't found the right one yet!
Blessings,
Lorilee

Well Suzy, thank you for the tour of your creative space! You may have noticed on my post that I referred to your dress form, and then it got cut off when it posted! That's me! You're always the one answering MY computer tech questions. I use to have a lot of fabric, but now not so much since I haven't been quilting. But you make such lovely things with it. (What have you done with that marvelous barkcloth you have?) I am waiting to see!!!

Love your colors! Where on the green earth did you get such a dynamite pink chair? It surely inspires. I return again and again to gaze at the fabric. Fantastic! So glad you shared your space.

Wow, You are the Queen of Fabric! I love your use of the picnic baskets, how clever. The color scheme is fantastic in your space; can't ever get enough pink. Thanks for the tour

Oh, I enjoyed your space. I love all of that organized chaos! It speaks of a truly creative mind. I am so glad to have met you through Brenda's tour!!! Dana
PS My cutting table seems to shrink in size the more I use it! I have a terrible time putting stuff back--I just shove it over. A very bad habit! ;-)
Posted by: Dana | August 24, 2008 at 06:05 PM
It's a very fun and inspiring space Suzy. I want to touch everything! :-)

Hi Suzy, you have a wonderful stash of fabric and your creative space is fabulous. I love all the colors and treasures around. I bet you get great inspiration in your studio. Love the dress form.
Happy Creating, Celestina

WOW! You have some awesome fabric collected! I do understand how it adds up! I am the same way when I find beautiful things that I don't know what I'll use it for but its a good deal, or I just LOVE it!
Thanks for sharing!
