My new studio

I am so excited that I am rebuilding my studio at 2 Conway Street in Shelburne Falls, MA. The new building will be two stories with the studio on the first floor and a two bedroom rental on the second floor. I absolutely love my new studio. I chose a wonderful garden green for the outside.

Isn't the building wonderful?

The view from the studio is so wonderful with the sweep of the river.

And across the river--even in early spring. Mount Massamont rises so protectively over the Deerfield River.

Sometimes the Mt Massemet is almost hidden in the mist.

And sometimes there is even a rainbow.

Of course the inside of the space is awesome. Here is my work area.

I have wonderful light for my sewing machine. North and east light is the best. In summer I feel like I am surrounded by green.

My sewing machine is a reconditioned vintage Singer 281-3 that survived floating. I design my quilts around my machine.

The display are is wonderful too. This is the back wall. As you can tell, I take full advantage of my 10 feet walls. The floor is polished concrete.
