Flying Rafters - An update on Studio 2.0

3.1.2021

It seems like yesterday that we broke ground on the Magic Quilting Studio 2.0.

Outer walls are up, and rafters are now in place. Looking back, I realize that this project could not have been scheduled at the worst time. (Note, I am certainly not to downplay the severity and devastating loss that this pandemic has caused to the world) Due to layoffs at lumber mills due to COVID-19, and the previous year’s wildfires, the price of lumber is extremely high. I also live in one of the fastest-growing towns in the United States, so I have a double scarcity to fight with. Put it into perspective, lumber prices are now about 112% from where they were last year. I have broken this project into lots of mini-Phases so I can pay as I go!

So what is my next step? I am all about roofs! I did not quite realize all the different types of roofing.

I do not want this Blog to be a pity party. Instead, this blog is all about hope. When the rafters started flying, I started to see my realized dream. Also, even though it is merely march I can see the early signs of Spring on the trees.

In other news, I have officially taken time off next year for QuiltCon 2022. Phoenix Arizona watch out I have my eyes on you!
