Quilt Studio Tour

[@melissan.2201]

I love your idea of storing things in beautiful containers. ❤

@@melissan.2201 Thank you very much Melissa! It makes for pretty surroundings too 🥰

That's a very lovely space. I'm inspired. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks very much Rhonda! I’m so happy to have inspired you!

Wonderful room. Looks very cozy. I love and collect pretty boxes too. Thanks for sharing.

[@willowhilldesigns7]

Thank you, Sophie! It’s my happy place. Pretty boxes always find a home here. You’re very welcome; thanks for watching!

This is indeed the most beautiful, organized, cozy, dreamy creative space I have seen in a long long time. Your collections and fabrics are so well-kept and gorgeous! Wow I could hang out there every single day and never be bored - just sitting there and sipping a cup of tea even would be a treasured time!! I am planning a craft room makeover myself and your inspiring studio tour has given me such great storage ideas. Thank you for showing us your space 🙂

[@willowhilldesigns7]

Thank you so much for your very kind comments! I’m so happy to have inspired you, and hope you share pictures or a video of your space. The nice thing about a makeover is that you can set it up to exactly fit your needs. I’m so excited for you! I have to say that my studio really is my happy place. I love to sit with a cup of coffee or tea, listen to music or you tube and just create. 🥰

[@VintageShabbyChic]

@@willowhilldesigns7 Hi again Yes I will try my best to upload a video after the makeover. I am very keen to get back into recording videos again. My studio is divided into 2 sections - 1 for journal making and other paper crafts and the other bigger section for all kinds of linen lace and of late slow stitching. I also enjoy baskets and I love pretty boxes. Like you, when things around me are piling up and are all over the show, it inhibits my creative flow and this is the main reason I am redoing my area - I have too many things around me because, to be honest, I am a lazy crafter and by that I mean I just want to stretch out and have my favorite things but sigh, we know that is not possible 🙂 I see on your channel you do journal/paper crafting too; am I correct in assuming that you have another area where you do that kind of crafting? I find it most convenient to have such a setup. Thank you again for showing us your studio; it is beautiful and has motivated me to start what I have been putting on hold! Take care. Crafty hugs Janine 🙂

[@willowhilldesigns7]

@@VintageShabbyChic Your studio sounds so interesting Janine! I agree that it nice to be able to reach out and have everything within reach. It helped me to set up areas for different interests, and keeping most used items within reach but organized and contained. My desk area is for designing/drawing and also for paper crafting, so I keep certain items there for that kind of work. I have just a few things in my sewing studio for paper crafting. I don’t have all that much, but the bulk is upstairs in my previous studio. I also have my painting supplies up there too. My embroidery floss for slow stitch is in a vintage DMC cabinet, in another room. (I showed that in one of my videos.) I find myself gathering materials up there for crafts other than sewing and then working in my sewing studio or on my kitchen island for painting. Slow stitching is done in the evenings usually, in my family room. I’ve found the places that I like to work for each interest. My main interest is quilting, so my studio revolves mostly around that, but is also set up to do a little paper crafting and make videos. Just a suggestion…when you’re redoing your space, maybe it would be possible to set it up and organize it in a way to have “areas” for those interests. Wishing you happy reorganizing time! Becca xx

Thank you for sharing your space. It is very inspirational to me. I also love pretty containers of all types, boxes or wooden or metal tins.

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Becca, your room is amazing and so very organized ....... you are amazing. I understand everything has to be in it's place for a good/productive day & project. A few things, the quilt that sits on your chair is absolutely beautiful .... it reminds me of a piece you'd see by McKenzie Child with the blacks, polka dots and bright, beautiful colors. The photo of your mom is beautiful. I keep a picture of my mom on my desk too. I adore all your little pieces you hold dear, especially items your parents gifted to you. I love the elephant bank, that is wonderful. I could go on and on about your room and items...........all so special. You work is outstanding and your grandson is going to love the Hot Wheels quilt. Both my son and I are huge Hot Wheel fans and collect them. 🎉 hugs and blessings !! xoxo

[@willowhilldesigns7]

Thank you for all your kind comments, Barbie! I am def an organizer. I can’t work with chaos around me 🤷🏼‍♀️ My sister always asks me to come over and help her organize and decorate. My granddaughter got the organizing gene too. We’re kindred spirits! I absolutely love McKenzie Child pieces. I never thought of that connection. Maybe that subconsciously inspired my color palate. I’ve seen your Mom’s photo on your desk. Isn’t is so nice to see our precious Moms with us as we create. The things I have from my parents are such treasures! I’ve had that little bank forever, and just love it. It has a key on the bottom to open it! I love being surrounded by all my special treasures, which is one of the reasons it’s my happy place. Ohh my goodness, do you both collect them? I love them too. My son collected them when he was little and now collects them for his 3 yr old. My other grandson has a huge collection….I’m always looking for good Hot Wheels vehicles! xx & blessings!

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

@@willowhilldesigns7 Both Patrick and I belong to the Hot Wheels Collector Club and each month we get a car for members only. My son on the other had has been collecting for quite some time now and he has wonderful HW cars he's purchased and bid on from the 60's ...... his collection is amazing. We both love them ... such a fun hobby.

[@christinedempsey4151]

Absolutely gorgeous and so efficient Becca. I am in awe and just a teeny bit envious of so much space! Thank you for sharing. ❤

[@willowhilldesigns7]

Thank you very much Christine! For many years I sewed happily at the dining room table and had to be creative in storing my supplies. When the kids got married, rooms opened up and I took advantage of that! ❤️

[@upriver7047]

You have so many pretty things. I have very few pretty things but I am bkessed to have a beautiful room tgat holds all my necessities, fabrics and threads. I just oainted the room balkerina pink and I love it!

@@upriver7047 Thank you very much! That’s what’s important, to have a wonderful place to stitch with all your necessities and fabrics. I absolutely love pink! TFS!😊

[@lisakomor9661]

I don’t know how you decide between what is pretty, and what is very pretty because all of it and I mean all of that is absolutely beautifully pretty! I love everything about your space. It’s not over done. There’s still plenty of room to move around and it looks like it would be amazing to shop in your own space with the way you have it set up. Nicely done! On a side note it seems to fit your style and your personality so well. Which I think is very important in a sewing space. I would say it’s right on point with your personality. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@willowhilldesigns7]

Thank you so much for your very kind comments Lisa! I never thought of it that way, but you’re right. Our personality is reflected in the things we choose to put in our creative space and the way we set it up. Whether we sew on a dining room table or have our own room, it’s nice to have a happy place to create! You’re very welcome. 🥰

[@howardpennpenn]

Thank you so much! Jill Barklem was an amazing artist, in my opinion, and I live anything Brambley Hedge. I’d have more of the toy machines, if I had space! Aren’t we so fortunate to have such wonderful sewing supplies available to us. I’m so happy to have inspired you!

[@willowhilldesigns7]

I’m so happy to have inspired you! The bag is called an Appliqué Folio. I designed that pattern some years ago, to hold up to a 12” block, several spools of thread and any other little sewing notions that might be needed for the appliqué on a block. Thank you for asking. 🥰

[@barbaravickers2103]

Becca are you my long lost twin sister??? I adore your sewing/quilting space. Mine is not so big, but we have many similar tastes. For me neat and organized is the only way to sew. And I have many lovely boxes for keepsakes. My only minor complaint - you didn't give any descriiption of Thumper! You have a beautiful statue of him. I've loved Thumper for ages. I'm sure your wonderful video will inspire many others to create beautiful sewing/craft spaces. Thank you!

[@willowhilldesigns7]

Hi Barbara, You’re a kindred spirit! Thank you so very much! Yes, I love neat and organized too. Oh no, poor little Thumper. I was trying to remember all I had to cover and didn’t mean to neglect him! I love little Thumper too. I’d be so happy to know that I’ve inspired others. I think we all inspire each other! You’re welcome and thanks for viewing!

[@dianam.9554]

Just came across your beautiful studio. Everything is so organized with pretty containers. Love your large space to organize all your pretty things. Do you remember where you purchased your fabric for your ironing board ? I also love pink and your ironing board fabric is so beautiful.

[@willowhilldesigns7]

Thank you so very much Diana! I love the Flower Fairies. I bought it on Etsy a few years ago. Etsy and eBay carry many Flower Fairy fabrics. I hope you find something that you love. Pink is such a calming, beautiful color isn’t it! 🥰 Here is the fabric on my ironing station www.ebay.com/itm/274547606254

[@kathyoylear5143]

Wow what a beautiful and organized dream world you have created for yourself. Thank you for sharing and inspiring me to do a better job of organizing. I love the Ark quilt you are doing. Could you tell me where you got it and the name and such. Thank you so much. Bless you.

[@willowhilldesigns7]

Thank you Kathy! It truly is my happy place! The panel I bought for the Noah’s Ark quilt is by Jay Zinn and can be found at Prairie Rose Quilt Shop. Here is the link www.prairierosequiltshop.com/iishop Just type in Noah’s Ark in the search box and it will come up. God bless you too 😊

[@kathyoylear5143]

Thank you so much for your quick reply. I've ordered the fabric panel and the book as well. Thank you so much!

Was your sewing studio , one large bedroom or maybe two rooms , and you converted it to one large room? It's so beautiful !!!! I just love your space. !!!!!!!

[@willowhilldesigns7]

Thank you Diana! It’s my happy place! It was one large bedroom. 🥰

[@dianam.9554]

Even though I have watched your sewing studio video, I still go back and watch it over and over again. It's such a cute sewing studio. Just curious, as you walk into your studio, you have a space to the left where you have a Beautiful writing Desk. Originally, was this always a separate area from your sewing space ? It's such a cute set up ???

[@willowhilldesigns7]

Thank you very much Diana! Yes, this space was there originally. It just seemed the perfect space for my writing desk and drafting desk. It’s away from the sewing area, and a nice place to concentrate on drawing, crafting or writing bills. Thank you for watching and I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed this video! 😊

[@dianam.9554]

Just wondering where you got your dress forms hanging in your fabric baskets. What a Cute idea !!!!! Did you cut them out from a cricket machine.?

[@willowhilldesigns7]

Hi Diana, I bought them on Etsy. I wanted to give each basket a fun accent. 😊
