    She gets three yards of each fabric in her lines. That is a lot of fabric to store. Free yarn, free everything with her name on it so she has to have a place to keep it and keep it organized. She has to constantly use it to make things in order to sell her brand.

    I was shocked that it was only 3 YARDS and not bolts of each fabric. Granted, that would be a lot of fabric to store, but other designers usually get a bolt of every fabric in the line.

    Of course we wouldn't have homes like that... but we are not famous designers who film in our homes!

    Re ... 3-yards of each fabric?

    Wonder? maybe it's like a Artist's Proof copies for Limited Edition Prints?
    ... where she gets the 3-yards as a final validation, should there be something wrong with the final product?

    No idea ... just a thought!

    Interesting that this is the home that she and her husband chose, with several smaller rooms rather than one larger one. There's way too much stuff around that would require constant dusting, especially since it's where fabric is cut/sewn/handled. I'm always amazed how much dust and fiber is about after much cutting or sewing.

    After 7 years of retirement, I have gotten rid of all dresses and recently found myself having to do some clothes shopping (which I have always detested) for a couple of events where dresses were required. Couldn't believe how popular the tiered, long dresses are; every store offers them. I didn't like them decades ago, and certainly don't now. I don't think that they are attractive on any body shape.

    She looks different than I pictured her. I went through the video pretty quickly, I must have gone past the actual sewing space. I'm guessing she hires someone to clean and dust all that stuff, LOL. It's pretty and bright, just like her fabrics. I think part of becoming a successful name in quilting is having a particular style and sticking to that, so she certainly has consistency in her presentation.

    The podcast of Quilting Life also mentioned they get 3 yards of each fabric from their designs of the finished product, not the proofs. And the precut bundles too.
