- Pack quilting stuff with me to head to San Antonio for work. I am also getting some upgrades to my quilt room, one day I will have my dream Quilting Space!
Hopefully after I get back home my quilting space will never get this messy again. Between health problems and being extremely busy this area has been neglected for way too long.
Should I document the process of my unfinished basement being turned into my dream quilting room?
Oh yes. The drywall up, lighting, floor covering, shelving, bins. The only things I would add to packing for a trip are extra rotary cutting blades, pencil, eraser, and a light bulb.
I am so glad your back. I have missed your videos. Hope your feeling better soon.
I usually take my 12x18" mat with me when quilting when travelling.
I've used the hotel ironing board and iron.... sometimes i really wish I'd brought my iron from home.
I've missed seeing you. So smart to bring projects with you for after work/school. We all like to see how others set up their sewing rooms, so yes we would love to see your process. Thanks for shariing.
Thank you! I am excited to be back, and I will definitely document what I can of finishing the basement studio!
I would put everything into plastic bags in groups to help get through the travel process. To help save things from humidity and water.
Marking utensils (chalk, erasable, etc)
I wouldn't take the large cutting matt depending on how you're traveling. Might be better to take just the smaller round matt.
I am driving, I hope the larger cutting mat will travel okay because I don't know if I can do almost two months without it 😬
Know that if a mat gets warped you can SOMETIMES fix it by heating it (say, on the driveway on a sunny day), then putting it on a flat surface (like a smooth floor or large table) and weighting it down overnight (like with heavy books).
@dorothyyoung8231 that's a great tip! I've never heard of that. I was able to keep my big mat flat for the drive here, and I'm very thankful I brought it. I probably should have brought my old one just in case but this one is so much nicer lol
@@kayla_quilts, I’m with you! Having the right tools - the ones I’m used to - makes quilting or any task so much easier! Bringing a big mat is worth it for me if I can manage it!
You can make a note of anything you missed this time for next time. For instance I can’t work without masking tape, but most quilters look at me oddly when I say that!
Would a portable light come in handy for your trip? And I'd love to see the process of your dream room.
Great Idea! I think I'll buy one when I get to my destination if I need one, which I probably will. I will try to document the process of the remodel! I'm so excited to get some stuff done in my basement!
Hi, I’m catching up on your videos, but have you been to the Pearl? And a town named New Bruanfels north of SA has a quilt shop. Quilt Haus.
I haven't, should I add them to my list?
@@kayla_quilts , oh yes. It’s one of the nicest German towns. Try Huisach Grill for lunch . Or for BBQ it’s Coopers old time BBQ. But we do have Bill Millers BBQ in S A. and the best iced Tea.
@marysmith4479 thanks! They're all added to my list 🥰
What kind of sewing machine do you have?
I have a Babylock Amelia. I absolutely love this machine but I think my next one may be a Juki TL2000QI.
@@kayla_quilts Thank you for your reply. I've wanted to get back into sewing but I have a low end machine which causes me a lot of problems. I'm hoping that a better machine will help me get back into a hobby that I love. Have a good trip!
@dutchgirldreams4726 a quality machine really does make a difference in my opinion. I hope you are able to get back into sewing, I really slacked off because of health issues and I missed it so much.
