Eileen, I get the impression that it is finished, as I recall mention of a trip to Ikea for furntiture. I am sure that Ricky's busy life had prevented him from posting further videos. Hopefully we will see it all one day.

Has Ricky finished his new studio? I know he's been traveling a lot but it's been under construction for a LONG time!

Apparently Freddy Moran doesn't do Internet stuff. I can't find any links for her.

You might try contacting Gwen Marston, who also does not do Internet stuff, but Gwen can be reached at:

Gwen and Freddy have collaborated on a couple of books, so Gwen may be able to put you in touch with Freddy to ask about the table.

Does anyone know anything about Freddy Moran's sewing table and cutting table? I saw pictures in a book from my local library entitled Organizing Your Craft Space by Jo Packham and it had some beautiful shots of Freddy's quilting studio. However, the author did not mention anything about where one could obtain the items shown. I am especially interested in the rolling cabinet Freddy uses for her cutting table. If any of you know the answer to this, I would really appreciate it. I can't find anything exactly like it on the internet and I wonder, if it's a custom job.

Thanks
Sally

I have the same kind of walls - beautiful architectual details but not great for items like closets or permanent design walls but there are ideas for work arounds for all those things! Keep searching - there are lots of fun things to make it work.

Hey, CarolinaGirl, mine is over the garage too! The floor dimensions make it sound huge but there are those angled walls to deal with! No space for a design wall (permanently, that is..). But I love it because it's mine (and the grands when they come over

What I have learned is that you must use those items that work for you and will work in your space. I love to look at other people's sewing rooms and/or design studios. I see lots of cute things - some would work for me and others would not. Think about what you have that really works for you. Make sure you use that in your new bedroom/studio. My studio is in a bonus room over the garage but it does not have any closets. I would love to have a closet to hide all this mess but I don't so I do what I can without it. Think about how you like to work - do you want to get up to cut and iron or would your work station be better with a cutting table/ironing station on the right or left of your machine so that you can turn in your chair? That is how mine is set up but my BFF likes to get up and iron and cut and that is how hers is set up.

Enjoy your journey - it will be fun!

Here you go, Eileen!

Margo,
what is the URL for your fabric folding tutorial? I had it bookmarked, I swear I did!

Although we are answering maybe too late be sure you get my PM about a book. Mary Noel

Good question - I needed such help a while back. The books were a big help ( think it was before Ricky's postings). I too endorse the folding of fabric; it's been a real help. Also the one thing I wish I had known was to have a dedicated electric line for irons. My DH created my room for me and it would have been so easy at the time. Now some things sort of dim a bit when the irons are on.
Enjoy your new space!
Oh, one other thing - paint your room whatever color makes you happy. The idea of a "neutral background" sound logical, but did you see that bright red studio of the latest TQS guest ( sorry, sorry, can't remember her name). Now that surely makes her heart sing to walk into that room!
