Quilting Table


Well, it is finally done and in the sewing room!!! YAYYYYYYY!!!! We bought a used wooden kitchen table for $50 at a shop in town and my husband revamped it for my Juki! Now I have a really nice flat surface to quilt on. What a difference this makes!!!

Here's the table before and after it got painted. I cannot find my photo of the before the hole was put in, but I am sure you can imagine it!!!
Before paint above and after paint below
I used a white acrylic enamel for the white so that I would have a really nice smooth surface and we used a very fine sand paper in between coats.

I found several tutorials for the table and you can read about them here: #1 tutorial, #2 tutorial, #3 tutorial. They all have a little different information, but along the same line. So helpful and I am so thankful to all of them for sharing!!!

Well, that's it in my quilt world for the moment. Our grand-daughter is here today to work on her quilt which I will share at a later time :^)

    I love it! One day I hope to have a full size table or counter so I can really spread out. Have you quilted on it yet?
