My studio is a very special place for me.
It is my place of creation and solitude, where I can escape everything and just focus on myself and my work. It is really important to me that my studio is a comfortable place, like a second home. So I have filled the space with things that I love. Plants grace the windowsill and hang from the roof, collections of natural curiosities and family heirlooms crowd the shelves, often arranged under glass domes. Everything has it's place and purpose.
Since writing this post back in 2014 I have invested in a new machine (A Bernina Q20) so I have updated this post to include a bit of information about my experiences with this very different form of sewing machine. I hope you find this update useful. ~ Meredith
One of the most common questions I get asked about my work is "What sewing machine do you use?" People seem to assume that I have some wiz-bang-space-aged machine that does all of the thinking (and sewing) for me, but in reality I only use some of the most basic machine functions to allow me to draw with the machine. It is for this reason that my technique can be done on almost any sewing machine.
