Great idea!! thanks for the pics of the under mount shelf holding the machine - I'm visual so that really helps! I love the tile too. I see you also use the pipe on the wall to hang your fabric strips on.....hmmm this gives me an idea, maybe a towel rack..... Be sure to post pics of your quilts some day too. I've tried to talk my husband into quilting.....but then I thought about it and changed my mind - he might be a better quilter than me!!! Ahhhh can't let that happen!

Great use of old doors. The tiles are a genius idea!

What a great idea! Creative & recycling, too. I may have to steal this idea. I'm picturing a cutting table made from doors, too.

You did well! It would be nice to have space for two tables that size. My only change would be a office chair on wheels. That folding chair has to be hard on your back

I keep telling my son quilting is like woodworking, only lighter.

Great ideas. My cutting table is two home made saw horses and a piece of plywood with a vinyl cloth over it. Works great!

GREAT RECYCLE USE!! AND GREAT creative thinking. Not many of us have a ton of fancy equipment. I used the box from a piece of Target furniture to fit around both of my machines for a level space for sewing and machine quilting. Used strips of styrofoam underneath for holding their shape. Works just as good as those fancy clear plexiglass ones that cost a fortune. One a 1967 Singer Touch & Sew, the other a floor model, inexpensive Janome. I use my dining room table and an big old real estate office desk, and of course every OTHER part of the house too!!

I do most of my quilt piecing on a treadle machine, its not fancy and it sews very well. I only need a straight stitch for making quilt blocks, it works for me.
