Something to Celebrate

We have a new addition to our family. No, it's not a grandchild or new dog. It's my new sewing table. Probably won't get too many Dear Readers as happy as I am, but they are likely not quilters and/or seamstresses.

I bought this table online from JoAnn.com. Originally listed at $229.00 (I would not have paid this much for the unit, that's for certain), I purchased it for $114.00. With tax and shipping, a total of $135.00. It arrived quickly. Dear Husband - bless his heart - spent about 5 hours putting it together (something I could not have accomplished). He was meticulous in his work, as I know he wanted it done very well. So sweet of him.

Here is a picture of it in my sewing room. At last, I have a place to cut out fabric, eliminating the need to use the kitchen counter when DH (our household's executive chef) is preparing meals. The top is also large enough to provide a place for fabric when I'm working on a large quilt top. What an improvement over the narrow sofa table I was using.

Like new parents, I feel as though we've welcomed a new member into our family. DeeDee is really checking it out. I'm sure she will figure out a way to sleep under/around it.

Onward, with a great new quilting tool. I'm so thrilled! Off to skate.
