I am in Wise River Montana for a few weeks this summer. I knew before arriving out here, that not everyday was going to be a fishing day, and that there would be plenty of time to quilt. But first I needed to make my sewing area efficient. I had listened to Lois Hallock speak about this on the International Association of Professional Quilters MP3 download of the "Create Your Perfect Quilting Studio", teleclass. Applying what I learned to my quilting room in Florida, and seeing a great improvement in efficiency, I could not wait to put it to use in the Montana home. There is so much less wasted time looking for things. The pictures of my space show the basic layout of the ironing board to the left of the sewing machine, and the raised cutting table to the right. I have also created a hanging design board, by pinning an outdoor tablecloth underside up (as that has the fuzzy flannel texture underneath), to the backdrop frame I purchased to display quilts. Fabric just sticks to this material without pins, and you can easily move the fabric around to see the effect of placement.
