Studio Redesign



Welcome to the Creative Spaces Blog Hop!

It is a crazy 6 week journey with a ton of people!  Each week we will all tackle one subject.  There are also a lot of giveaways!!  (More on those at the end).

This is week 1 where we each talk about our Studio Clean up.  I am going to be a little different and talk about my studio redesign.



Back in the late part of 2016 I had this great idea.  I wanted to stream on Twitch.  I had a studio in the my basement and wanted to be able to interact with people while I created quilts and patterns.  I had a very basic set up.
It felt cramped though.  Once I added in a few cameras and lights I wasn't going to be able to move around a lot.





During Fall Quilt Market of 2016 I met the amazing people at Arrow Sewing Cabinets.  They agreed to work with me to redesign my space and make it more streamer friendly.  I was very excited and couldn't wait for my boxes of furniture to get started!






First I had to get everything moved so I could paint the walls.







Then I got to put my brand new Arrow furniture together!  I went with a cool stylish table and a few thread cabinets (I will get to those during week 5).




My finished studio was a dream come true!





Next was the streaming equipment!  I got a few cameras and lights and set everything up.

It was very simple to find the right lights but cameras were a little harder.  I ended up settling on the Logitech 922.  Over the past year I have gone to a 4 camera system but the overall design hasn't changed much.








Want to come hang out while I stream?  My schedule is always on my Facebook and my Twitter.  I also announce on Instagram when I go live.  We have a lot of fun, talk about sewing and quilting and of course have daily giveaways.  I am the giveaway queen after all.
