Playing Tetris

Our first challenge was to create a work space in the textile room. We wanted a large table area to examine the larger items. However, the room is small and crowded with metal racks and shelves. It also doesn't help that some of the walls angle at 45 degrees, further reducing the amount of storage space.

So we put our thinking caps on and brushed up on our Tetris skills, finally figuring out a solution that created more space. However, more space means less room to maneuver and get at the items. While its not the ideal set up, it will work for now.

The fantastic new work area.

Behind the quilt racks are hanging garments, an unfortunate side effect of the rearrangement.

The good news is that the work area will give us plenty of room to catalog the collections and find better ways of storing them in the future.
