Is your sewing or quilting space temporary, shared, or constantly evolving? You’re not alone!
Over the years, I’ve had to move my quilting setup from room to room depending on mobility needs, family needs, and available space. These days, my studio lives in one side of our dining room; and while it’s not a forever setup, it works. Why? Thoughtful planning, flexible storage, and some surprisingly perfect finds from IKEA.
In this new YouTube video, I’m inviting you into my real-life quilting space to show you exactly how I’ve built a functional and completely movable quilting studio that’s a joy to use.
When health challenges made hand-sewing (and hand appliqué and hand-quilting) no longer physically viable for her, Beth Ann’s first instinct was dismay and discouragement. But Grandma Baldwin gave her a loving (but stern!) “No pity parties – just figure out a different way.” So Beth Ann turned to her trusty sewing machine and began devising ways to achieve the fine quality appliqué look she craved faster and easier than she ever thought possible. And a career was born!
Now Beth Ann enjoys sharing her accessible “invisible” machine appliqué and creative machine quilting techniques with other quilters and fiber artists around the world.
