I tend to move from room to room with my hand sewing, so I was looking for something that would serve as transport and then as a worktable.
I thought of a handled basket, but the handle would be hard to work around once I was seated. What to do....
Right after Christmas the grocery store had trays on sale for under $1. Cheap enough to give this idea a try.
The rim in deep enough to keep everything in place, but low enough to allow me to work directly from it.
I have a fabric dish with/for Wonder Clips, thread, pincushion and pins, needles, scissors and my project. I now have a portable workstation that can go upstairs, downstairs, even outside (but not tonight; too cold to sit on the porch.). Mine is about the size of a dinner plate.
I have finished two table runners which I will share over the next couple days. Busy, busy fingers!
Blissful hugs,
Sharon
P.S. I am listening to The Lincoln Myth by Steve Berry. I had forgotten one of the reasons I so like his books--he combines history and fiction, but at the end of the book/CD he explains which parts were real and which were not.
Isn't it amazing the things you can find to use to transport your quilting stuff around with.
ReplyDeleteI still can't quite find the perfect "transport" from upstairs to downstairs. The "balancing act" doesn't work either. I get it all piled up so neatly and then drop half of it on the way.

Clever!
ReplyDeleteNow I can put all those fancy trays to good use I inherited from my maternal grandmother. Thanks for the cool idea, Sharon!
