sounds like a good idea - those are pretty bad and lots of them. I wonder if we could paint it on with a long brush.

Yesterday I was making friendship stars with my Featherweight with the other ladies who make quilts of valor for the soldiers @ Fort Hood Army base. She sewed a wonderful stitch and was chatting with her sister FW, 3 other ladies use a FW or a 301.

Happy Thanksgiving to all. Enjoy this time of family and friendship. I am very excited, my DD is comung up to sew today. Neither of my girls have ever shown any interest in sewing before. I am really looking forward to the day. Just one more thing to be thankful for.
And Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. I know I won't be on the Board tonite, so am sending Blessings now!! |

My 201 came in a cabinet that is pressed wood. No veneer, just a dark stain. It's butt ugly. I've looked for a "new" cabinet for her, and in over a year, that just doesn't seem to be happening! So I've decided to put my dubious decorative painting skills to work...I will paint the cabinet white, because I picked up a stool at one of the thrifts that had been painted white, and I'm too lazy to remove the paint, and then add some decorative touches...several things have floated through my head... Hindeloopen (a Dutch form of decorative painting), roses maybe?, or sewing notions... have not yet decided on that part...will decorate the stool tho, to match. What do you think? Will I be banned from the club for this action? What would be your choice of decorative touches? On a different topic, I picked up some Murphy's Oil Soap like you said for my "new" cabinet. It does appear to have a wood veneer on top of something (maybe press-board). I'm assuming it's fine to use the Murphy's Oil Soap on all the wood areas, right? All this is so new to me and I don't want to damage anything! |
I hope you all have a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving. I am going home from work today and Raquel will be on my table until we eat tomorrow, then back on the table until Sunday afternoon. I don't care if the kids sit on the floor to eat meals, I HAVE to get my runners quilted in time for Christmas!

Well, I love flowers, but in this case, I like the idea of painting sewing notions better. I bet it will be beautiful no matter what you choose. I do hope you take before and after pictures!
