This is my new sewing machine table. I've put a machine on it so you can see how much room there will be on the left side when I'm working. There is one drawer (top) and one cabinet area (bottom). I think I'm really going to enjoy working here. It gives me a lot more room than my old table had. It will fit the new machine with the embrodiery arm on! On the old table the embroidery arm ended up in the window, tangled in the blinds, and that wasn't a good place for working with it.

I wanted to send my old table to a good home so I ran an ad on Craig's List. In about 15 minutes I had my first inquiry. I stated that the table was FREE, but that it had to be dismantled and carried down a flight of stairs. It is quite heavy and I knew I didn't want to have to carry it down. Well, I had quite a number of people wanting it in a very short time, so I just took the inquiries in the order in which they came -- the first couldn't use it because it took up too much room. The second person wanted it and had all the room she needed. So, she came to pick it up and now it has a new home!

Sweetie put together the new table (Of course it came in 300 pieces!) I think it will be lovely to work on! It doesn't look too large in the picture but it is about 34" X 60," and that is a good size and it is VERY strong. I placed it in front of the windows so that I can look out at the world as I work. There is a TV behind me that will provide audio entertainment, or I can turn on my radio.

My ironing board is up so I'm ready to go. What fun!

Tomorrow is quilting day! I've missed most of our group meetings the past 3 months, so I'm excited about going. I finished the binding on the baby dino-log quilt so it is ready to turn in.

Now I'm going to do something different -- strips sewn on a 6" square base - then trimmed and eventually sewn together. I'm using some scraps that I need to get rid of. That is one nice thing about quilting -- you can use even small pieces of fabric.

A local fabric store had a sale this past week, and I had some Christmas money, so I bought new thread and stabalizer to use with my embrodiery machine. What fun I'll have!

What project are you working on that you think is fun?
