Here is the second part of my two post series on the mini quilt retreat I attended on Saturday with my community quilting group to group make  Project Linus quilts. Please see Part I of the story on this post – Project Linus Mini Quilt Retreat, Part I.

As mentioned in the Part I post, one of the quilt group members hosted the day retreat at her house in her basement that she had turned into an AMAZING quilt studio. In this post I thought I’d give you a little tour of her studio. 

Here is a video I took at uploaded to YouTube (I was so proud of myself that I finally learned how to add music to replace the random snippets of conversation that were originally peppered throughout the video):

Here are some photos of the main section of the basement studio:

She is amazing quilter (making many of those complicated Judy Niemeyer patterns) and an amazing long arm machine quilter. Here is an example on a floral panel of some of her spectacular long arm quilting:

She did a little trunk show of some of her Judy Niemeyer pattern elaborate bed sized quilts she had quilted and I didn’t even think to take photos, darn it! (I was just too busy gasping!)

Since the studio is in a basement, it had window wells. Creatively she lined in cool landscape scenes her window wells!

I showed John and I’d like to do something like that someday in our window wells!

Oh and here is room attached to her studio which is set up little a quilting classroom/workshop area, in which I worked on my assigned Project Linus quilt during the retreat. I didn’t do the best job photographing the space as I was distracted visiting my new quilting buddies, but there are tables with power strips set up all around the room.
