As we near the end of our year of Organizing your quilting lifestyle, we too have learned a tremendous amount when it comes to organizing. Here is a Bucket List of twelve must have items for the quilting studio of our dreams.

To avoid the frustration of cords falling behind our desk, we love this non-stick Cord Catcher. It's small and comes in a variety of fun colors. Cord Catchers by Dotz. 

Vanishing Design walls look like decorative shelving and can be painted to match the trim in your studio. VanishingDesignWall

The Alex Ikea cabinet (thin white drawers to the left) sits on a table for easy access, which leaves lots of room under the table for other items. This particular cabinet does not take up a great deal of space, but the drawers are nice and long. They would make great storage for our WIP. Heartandhand

We also like the taller 7-drawer Winsome Halifafax. We could use it to hold all of our ribbons, trims and small art supplies. With the same look as the Alex Ikea cabinet, it would continue the streamlined look in our studio.

In our book, you can never have too much light when it comes to working at your machine. A large span of light is created by a flexible. Luminos work lamp. Daylight

When we want to do a bit of handwork in the evening while watching TV, the Slimline LED Floor lamp provides excellent light. We love the double flexible arm. The lamp's clean and sleek lines also don't scream 'task light' when visitors see it. Daylight

All-in-one Travel Iron Caddy and pressing mat comes in very handy for classes and retreats. Thepaintedquilt

 

No one likes making numerous trips from the car to haul class supplies. The Stanley rolling tool cart's two container system keeps things together and saves you time. Happyzombie
