Bouncing Ott Lites off ceilings over works space, floor lamps for cutting area, extra lights (2) around sewing machine...the determined quilter does what she must to quilt!Stephanie Newmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02779662119039675249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20392758.post-4332576997209547372013-05-04T09:25:46.284+09:302013-05-04T09:25:46.284+09:30What helps me to make a dark area of the sewing ro...What helps me to make a dark area of the sewing room lighter is a floor lamp with a glass shade that is open on top. It sends the light to the ceiling and spreads it out. Also, I use a daylight type bulb in it.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01816001950084090576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20392758.post-44553069674140387242013-05-03T11:38:04.956+09:302013-05-03T11:38:04.956+09:30Your blocks, and quilts, have gobs of interest, I ...Your blocks, and quilts, have gobs of interest, I think! Big prints, cut up, bring great movement.

I think I would commit major mayhem to get my hands on your orphan drawer.

I lined the concrete block walls with white sheets from the thrift shop and set up hanging fluorescent shop lights with "daylight bulbs." I was told about them by a watercolor artist. Perhaps you can find something similar.

But when I look at your quilt blocks there is a lot of interest, I was pulled in to see the block with the purple on the outside and then the pink t in the center and the first two blocks on the top I wanted to see the fabrics...<br />I really Love the look of this quilt keep going!<br />My sewing room is upstairs bedroom in our home the back of the house and the lighting isn't the best I have a lot of ott lights in the room I tend to put fabrics under those to check out if I like them .
