treats!

My sewing table... 
 I painted it white... and my sweet Sara gave me a lovely flower for it.
 It is now in its new home in the sewing/play room and I LOVE IT! I also love that when I walk into the room I can still smell the freshly cut wood smell.  I wish I could find that smell as a candle.  
It is tall.  I don't have to bend over when I am cutting fabric.  That makes my back happy.
 It is beautifully distressed. 
 It is long!  There is so much room.  There is room for both of my cutting mats.
 It is pretty. Oh so pretty.
 I have a lot of space.  Lots of space around my machine.
 My sewing machine is very happy in it's new space.  Although, I have been fantasizing about one of these... ahhhhh...someday!
 I was so happy when I moved my sewing area a few months ago.  It was a drastic improvement from what I had ever had before.  Now I feel like I am living it up!
and now onto the other treat... my kaleidoscope quilt...the kites are all cut...
 And the first block!  Beautiful!

  2. Beautiful table! I love that you have so much space all next to eachother. Using a roller chair you could get so much done without getting up once! :)

    Love this new block - is this an original quilt pattern or one you found someone else? Love the kites in pinwheel form :)

  5. Lucky girl!! I wish I had a nice huge table like that to sew on! That first block is making me swoon! I wanted to pick the kaleidoscope quilt to start off with but I settled on the skipping squares pattern. It seems perfect for a beginner like me!
