My collection of reference and resource material
The two photos you see here are of my old workspace in Calgary, my daughter’s 10’x10′ bedroom converted into a sewing room after she left home. I managed to fit two worktables, four bookcases, and many shelves into this tiny space, as well as a wire basket system that stored all my quilting fabrics in the closet. No corner was wasted – I used my vertical space efficiently with storage from floor to ceiling and some lesser used supplies stored under the worktables in boxes.There were times when it was complete chaos and the room seemed extremely small, such as nearing the end of a complex project or a significantly sized quilt, but for the most part the space worked for me. Rather than having to clear away the kitchen table each night, I could leave things out indefinitely if neccessary and I finally had a door to close on my own space.
