Pre-Cleaning: The Studio

I was at Quilt Market in Minneapolis a few weeks ago.  I met a  bunch of folks and picked up a bunch of new work that I can't tell you about yet.  What I can say is:  I need to get this studio organized and keep it that way so that I can keep up with the New! Secret! Projects that will consume most of my time for the remainder of 2015.  

Last week I showed you one of my clean longarm machines.  It is still clean and I've added some organization to it.  I now have a basket on the back of the table that holds the scraps from the current project, all of the threads for that quilt, and all of the templates/tools for that quilt.  


My stuff is all in once place now and when the project is finished I will empty that basket so that it is ready to be filled by the pieces of the next one.  Do you think that I can keep this up?  And can you guess what new Cutie pattern sample I just made from those fabrics?

This week I found the back of my other longarm, my beautiful Handi Quilter Fusion named Belle.  

Before:


The Hello Kitty in winter clothes is now sitting on the shelf with her Hello Kitty friends.  The cover to my Janome 6600 is now actually on my Janome 6600; don't die of shock.  The spare crank for my Fusion is now on the shelf waiting for a day when hubby and I can work on adding it to my front roller.  The unquilted tops are on a shelf with their friends.  The knitting needles are back in their box and on the shelf where they belong.  Phew!


My machine is cleaned and ready for me to load a new quilt on it. I'm ready to work!
