Posh Quilting Rooms

Aug 3, 2010 by quiltjane 3 Comments

There are two things a quilter requires – a huge stash of fabrics and space to create (maybe a third – a very understanding family). The poor family lost the front room for a greater cause. It has a great view and a chandelier. So posh!

One day, when I win Lotto, I will build a large studio for quilters and give lessons accompanied by high tea. Oh to dream.

I had a cabinet maker build this pressing station with baskets underneath for fabric storage. It was built at waist height so avoiding bending. I covered a piece of particle board with the stick on ironing surface and laid it on top.
The sewing table is the same height as the pressing station. When I get more room these tables with positioned together. There is a insert in the table to rest the machine at table top height to provide a flat sewing surface. The drawers are large for storing notions and threads. I use a drafting chair to raise me to the height of the machine.

    Thanks Sandra, it is really great to press wide fabrics and lay out rows of sewn quilting blocks. If you are interested, I used a product called Giant Ironslide 2000 by Bo-Nash. It is 27" x 63" wide.

    Can you tell me where you bought the baskets for your pressing station?
