Took a Quilt Reliever

So I made time to quilt. Just dropped everything and started sewing and can I just tell you how good it feels. I was able to forget about everything else and my puppy loved it too. I think he misses the sound of my machine. As soon as I started it up he fell asleep right at my feet. So this is a sneek peek at what I have been working on. I hope it turns out cute..
I'm going to do a bunch of Long Arm Quilting this weekend so I will have a couple finished quilts to show you soon!

storage chest

so i have been wanting a storage chest to put at the end of my bed for a really, really long time. I wanted one really simple like these that I found at www.mycountrytreasures.com But of course I can never find something like this in the stores. The ones I find in stores can range from $300-$500. and they are really bulky and short and square.
So with the help of www.knock-offwood.com I was inspired to make by own storage chest. I love it because it will be skinnier and longer, it will be great on the end of my bed.


I still need to attach the top, i can't decide yet what I want for the top...then the most time consuming part will be priming and painting...I'm going to paint it white.


The next post will be the finished product!!! I hope I like the results.
