You may remember a sneak peak at this quilt. Originally inspired by this lovely creation.
Also, my little sewing tomato collection just keeps making the rounds. I scored this baby blue Dansk pot at a yard sale over the summer.
Lately I've been admiring the various industrial strength sewing machines on ebay. Beautiful and fascinating for me. I would love a heavy duty machine for sewing handles on bags and super think projects. Ebay's still a bit out of my price range, even though there looks to be some great repair-folks selling. Will have to cross my fingers that I can score one at a yard sale.
Oh, yeah one more thing. I've been thinking about sprucing up my sewing table in the corner here:
I'm thinking a nice bright coat of paint would make this table even more wonderful. It's a very sturdy sewing table, more sturdy than most foldable sewing tables that I've come across. The only down side, is the sewing machine pictured here on the table is no longer in action. So I can either keep using it is a sewing table that doesn't fold up or I can try to find a machine that fits.
I do love picking out paint colors though....

the quilt is great!
My mom has that same black tin basket with the Pennsylvania Dutch folk art on it- and she keeps it under her sewing machine, too! It was her mother's, and there are sewing tools like tailor's chalk and needles in there. Do you know what it originally held?
