UPTO Aug 16

 Nice quiet Sunday.

    Dinner with the Family was stellar,

 house is back together and now to 

spend the day "quilting".

        It is so  nice to have hobbies.  

"Quilting" seems to be my most productive tho.

        "Quilting" is in air quotes, since it seems to 

entail some general sewing, advise giving and design, 

so just quilting or sewing doesn't seem to cover it all. 

        Back to the day. 

        Having a few backs on hand certainly

 gets the tops moving. 

2 flimsys got pinned up and ready for 

quilting in the next little while!

Getting 2 pinned is nice. 

Two more backs to make, more pinning, then quilting. 

Thrifty Treasure

"It was a cold and stormy night..." 

but look what it did to the trees!

I just had to show off this beautiful 

Grinch tree covered with frost by the  ice fog !  

Gorgeous!

Anyway, here if one of my all time great

thrift store finds.  

TV Tables!!!

These small foldable tables are very

 popular for small living spaces

but have endless uses for sewing and crafting too!

This set was under $20 and came with 4 tables and a stand. 

I use one ( or two) for a portable ironing station and 

used a scrap of heat resistant fabric to make a cover.

It makes a handy ironing board when the piecing

 fever hits and can snug right up to the sewing nest. 

Another one gets commissioned as a cutting 

station for trimming. A lazy daisy turntable and a 

mat make a nice place to trim blocks and is very portable. 

One even got set up for scrap sorting 

while I was on the phone. 

Definitely one of my best finds ever!
