Tuesday Treasure - Quilting Table Top

Tall Handsome has met my approval again and made me another Treasure.

Tuesday Treasures is hosted by Melody - it is always fun to read the stories...

My dining table is one of those glossy varnished ones.... and cutting and pinning and general sewing damage was not what I wanted for it

My sewing the table is narrow and not conducive to some of the important activities like pinning a quilt

......... and, frankly the floor is too far away for me............

Tall Handsome got a piece of board larger than my table. (42" by 75" - a very useful size)

He added some pieces so that it would lock in at the top (to avoid the false top slipping and sliding off the proper table top)

This picture shows the pieces on the edges
(the board is upside down)

Tall Handsome is sandpapering the edges, so it doesn't snag my 'cloth' (as he calls it!!!! sigh)

........ all the sharp edges gone ........

........ an old bunny blanket over the proper table..........

..... new sewing table on top ......

.... and I have a new crafting table ....

"Thanks Tall Handsome"

 This picture shows how the little extra blocks fit nice and snug so there is no sliding and moving around

...... my new table just fits a few inches over the edge ....

The little added blocks are small so I can still clip my quilts on the sides of the table when I am pinning

I use bulldog clips for the sides that overlap... and masking tape for the edges that don't

I'll show you next time I do one

.....easy, peasy, no grovelling pinning of quilts.....

I can even have a glass of wine on there and not worry about stains!

.... you can share this idea and make one yourself .....

...... no sharing of Tall Handsome ......
