Some people are so spoiled ....:)
Did your Dad remember to "label" his work? You know, like we do with our quilts?
Somebody in the future might want to know the history of this piece ... it is truly lovely.

What a wonderful and loving dad you have! Very smart idea to store the thread this way.

No pattern. I just tell him what I want and he figures it out. ( except for the spining wheel). This cabinet measures
30" w X 36" h X 24" deep. He measured my largest spools of thread and used that to make the drawers. He also made the frame for my quilting machine.

How nice. My dad used to build thigs for me too. cherish them always. He did a super job!!

Sharon M 04-17-2011 04:26 AM

WOW what an awesome cabinet!! I can see talent runs in your family.
I would love to get in line for adoption but am afraid your dad would be way tired of making them before he ever got to me :cry:
You have some wonderful heirlooms to treasure now and pass down through the family much later.
I also see we have the same Brother machine (would that move me up any closer to the top of the list :lol: )

Thanks. My Dad was that way. He used a picture to make my daughter's baby cradle 33 years ago. I have several pieces of his handiwork.
