Good Morning!~ Quick question here. Could you tell me the distance between holes on the drawer pull? I am thinking of getting a different set of drawer pulls and knobs. I have another piece of furniture that a neighbor gave me and it has three shelves with an opaque glass door and a drawer and am thinking about matching it up as a set. Maybe white porcelain knobs and pull or maybe a colored set. I don't know yet.
Our Joann's is a small store, but the people that work there are just the greatest. They know everything and are very helpful. When I was at the big gynormous store we have in the boonies here (we have two in the St. Paul area and two little ones) and the place was packed, people were crabby and I missed my little store. I asked if they could ship from one store to another and they don't do that. I have been to that store twice and it was more than enough. I hope to heaven they don't close this one
down. It is the only one in the City of St. Paul, really! And we are 300 and some thousand people! So, I think it will stay. It is a necessity. They probably make more money at this store than the big ones!!!!! Oh well, I have my table. We had a neighbor that literally picked it up and carried it to our shed. And there it will stay stored probably until the Fourth of January - ST Day!!!!! (sewing table day). I'll probably take it apart out there and bring it in piece by piece. That'll be fun too.
You know, I have all the room in the world in the basement that I could set up the neatest sewing area, but I would be all alone down there. My husband might need me, the dog might need me and I'd be running up and down all day long! So, I just have my little space here and am as happy as a clam. Found out the other day that we have a Quilts for Kids chapter right here in the Twin Cities. Yay! I have completed three now, am starting my fourth and sent away for four more. We'll keep those little kidlings nice and warm! Also, this way the quilts will stay in the Midwest area. There is a chapter in Racine, Wisconsin also. They are popping up all over. As of two months ago there weren't any chapters in a Midwest nine state area. Now there are two!
If anyone wants to listen to an audio book while they are sewing, I am listening to a very good one - The Virgin Blue by Tracy Chevalier. She is the author that wrote "Girl With a Pearl Earring".
OK, back to sewing together 423 squares for a Floating Stars quilt. Have a nice day. Edie
