Moving Toward the Light

Funny how I struggle along for years, making do, and then one day an idea pops into the old bean and a revolution occurs. I turned on the light fixture over my design wall and noticed how much brighter it was on that side of the room. Hey, I should be working in that light! I might even tire less if I can see better.
So I moved everything over to the lighter area, and despite the bad Feng Shui, this seems to be the best arrangement idea I've had for this room.
The machine, the iron and the light fixture are all on a power strip under the work table so I am not rolling over wires anymore which was really annoying, and I can turn everything off at once. I can slide my chair from the machine to the work table for a quick press and back again. And the fabric and blocks are right there on the wall, not getting lost in the current stuff on the table. Genius!

The TV is perfectly visible and my stereo is behind me, so I am way entertained. There are three doors in this room and one is behind me which is what makes this iffy Feng Shui, which teaches that one should be able to see if an enemy approaches, so a door at one's back is bad. But I have the bark-at -any-sound Dawgs, and really no enemies, so nevermind.
See the fan on the floor there? This is the best part. I was so gonna get air conditioning for this room, but today I was blissfully comfortable as this fan pulled the cool in from the rest of the house into the studio. What took me so long to use this fan?

And I still have the big table for spreading out the fabrics I'll need.

I am making a kinda traditional block style quilt. 16 blocks in a 4x4 layout. These are only the centers of the blocks. I will be quilting as I go, with narrow connector strips.
