There is a magazine called "Studio". If you buy a couple of them you should get lots of ideas and you can at the same time look at lots of pictures of the sewing rooms / studios of quilters and fibre artists. If I remember rightly, the publisher is 'Interweave'.

Lois Hallock, the author of the first book listed here, came to our guild a few years ago. I left very enthusiastic about organizing my quilt studio (sewing room?) The most valuable thing was to fold my fabric in uniform sizes. It took a while, but it made a huge difference. And, I've pretty much kept it that way. I can see everything, and the edges of the fabrics aren't distracting me like when it was haphazard.

Thanks, Margo. I somehow missed all the ideas from other TQS members! Lots of inspiration there, and those books look interesting, too. I appreciate your help. Leslie

Didn't Ricky recently go through the angst of redesigning his sewing room/studio and write about it, asking for ideas from members?.

I'm sure that Margo can send us in the right direction to find the entries

Does anyone have an idea of good resources to help redesign a bedroom into a sewing/guest room? Thanks, Leslie
