Studio Update

by Great Joy Studio | Jan 19, 2018 | Quilting & Fabric, Studio

new year

a new work space!

•

At last

JOY STUDIO

is complete!!

•

1 year ago,

we were

insulated, waiting for drywall and

Still Seeking Light.

•

Time capsule.

•

Well, we found it.

Windows on every wall, eight skylights and two sets of French doors with connecting elliptical above each one.

At most times of the day, the room is flooded with a generous amount of natural light.

And I love it!!!

•

Builders on the project couldn’t understand the need for so many windows and I was questioned from every tradesman.

I stuck to my (never enough light) priority and it turned out to be the right decision, no question.

So, beginning 2018

Joy Studio

is completely finished, furnished and finally, ready for (hiding out) creative action.

It was a long, extremely tough journey but worth the effort.

Every time I enter the new studio space, I feel like a kid.

Curious,

and still hard to believe.

Thanks for visiting.

No News is Good News

by Great Joy Studio | Dec 7, 2017 | Quilting & Fabric

•

Oh my!

No news (in Oct. & Nov.) is good news?

That’s what they say and it’s true here too. Although, our news will have to keep until 2018!

•

We were busy as usual, with Quilt Market in October

turkey in November.

•

And now, here we are in

D E C E M B E R!

I confess, Instagram and Facebook were the quick venues we relied on to share what we’ve been up to the last couple of months. I hope you were able to follow us there.

•

We presented our Seamstress Maker’s Guide applique as a modern farm girl quilt made by Aunt Henri from our new fabric collection, “Fowl Play”. And we had a lot of fun with this at a photo op at fall Quilt Market. I hope you will try one of these life sized She Who Sews applique girls for your studio. As you can see the possible fabric combinations are endless for your unique Handmaid.
