fabric, fabric and wood.....

There is a small box of cherrywood fabrics that are left overs.

scraps!

I have been playing with them.

This is what I have so far.

The LOVE ones (tonya loves) are potholders and the other one

is going to be a mug rug for the table in the living room.

(or will be once I put on some binding)

other sewing......

This month's block lotto block had me thinking. What is light? What is bright?

I hope next month I won't have to think so much.

I really have 7 to enter, but I lost the picture of the first one.

I did a quick table quilt using the scraps. I used raw edge applique. Should have tried a little harder getting all the edges sewn down. The edges are sorta hairy.

Now the wood...

When we moved here, there was a table base made out of 2x4's.

Nothing special.

Tractor joe added some  wood to the top and and we used it outside for the last 

decade or so. But the top started cracking and falling apart.

I had visions of putting on some "new" old barn wood and painting the base black.

A table for the living room so you could put your feet up.

Tractor joe was hesitant.

"it's junk"

"in the living room?"

"it should be thrown out and burned"

But he cut, attached and sanded some of the old barn wood for the top.

I painted and stained the top.

I love how it turned out. 

It is now upstairs where I can put my feet up if I want.

& I think tractor joe is glad he didn't burn it after all.
