Category Archives: Studio Posting on a Saturday? I know, right? You guys rock… I have the best readers! I’ve been posting sporadically this summer, but you don’t mind… you still comment and ask me questions! Today’s post is in response to Linda’s question about how I like sewing while standing up. I love it! I started years ago...

Hello Robin! I woke up last night thinking about raising my sewing machine; my back has really been bothering me since I’ve started sewing 8+ hours/day again. Your video really demonstrated the benefit of standing to sew. And I second Ruth’s thanks for demonstrating the use of a scrap to start- and then finish off a seam of quilting. Genius! And finally, I think that I’m going to have to give cello another chance. It was such a lovely background for your sewing. Thank you for all of your help! Happy sewing!

Hello Robin! So nice to meet you. I found one of your lovely quilts on Flickr and jumped over to your blog. Have enjoyed reading your recent posts and following the link to the discussion on workshops. Always good to meet someone who is willing to think differently (sewing standing up included).

Thank you Ruth! I’m thinking this would be good blog fodder for my next post:)

Hi Robin – you just showed me a really clever trick – maybe it’s obvious to everyone else but I never thought of it – I chain piece as much as possible by working on a couple of different areas of the quilt at the same time, but when I really need the bit under the presser foot, I pull it out and cut the threads (I hate having thread tails everywhere – never occurred to me to have a dedicated scrap of fabric for that purpose!!

I love the cello music that you were listening to in the movie. Thanks for sharing about your creating process.

thank you!! i’ve been thinking about raising up my sewing table for the very same reason… glad to hear someone has done it and it’s a good thing  The good folks at Art Quilting Studio published me again! In it I talk more about my studio and share more pictures of it… stuff you haven’t seen here. I was thrilled to receive my copy in the mail and by the looks of it, I’m in good company! There are features by Melody Johnson,... by robin 7 comments

Congratulations, Robin! I will have to go find a copy!  Things are really quiet in the studio these days. Our children are off from school for one more week so I’ve been busy with them. It’s such a blessing to be able to spend these lazy days with them. We wander from one thing to the next… no particular schedule… each day bringng something new.... by robin no comments  I’m a little tired of these Classroom updates as I’m sure you are… so today I’ll bring you a simple shot of my studio: I spent the evening last night working to get it back into shape. I hung a few old quilts, tossed unwanted magazines and clippings, folded and organized fabric… you know the... by robin 3 comments

Love the black and white quilts and, of course, the sweet kitty

I love that photo of the kitty. The caption could read, “if I scrunch down low enough, she’ll never know I am here.” Have a great weekend, Robin.  I’m feeling the need to work with my hand-dyed fabrics again. The mess that comes with this type of work can be frightening, but the results are exhilarating! You’re gonna love it! by robin 1 comment
