Hello to all my quilting friends that I have met at Quilt shows the last few years. A lot of you already have at least one of my handmade hardwood products, and some of you have several of the things that I have made. I take that as a compliment and I am very thankful for all of you for that.
A lot of what I make comes from suggestions from the quilting part of my family, or from customers. Last year (I think at the Brazos Bluebonnet Quilt Guild show in Bryan TX), Kay and I had a customer show me a picture of a portable sewing table template that fits the Singer Featherweight 221 & 222 sewing machines. She told me I needed to start making some of them because a lot of quilters love their Featherweights. The research began that day. Now Kay and I two, 221s and they are impressive machines.
After the 4 Quilt shows Kay and I have had the pleasure of participating in as vendors in 2026, I finally got around to making my first table. Attached are some of the pictures of that table. I plan on making more for sale during the 2027 shows we will be attending. This one is Mahogany and I will be making some in black Walnut and Oak. All natural, no stain, just beautiful wood and three coats of a water based topcoat for a silky smooth finish. This is a long note so I will save the rest of the Featherweight story and pics of how the table breaks down for another post. Let me know what you think please.
