SATISFYING DAY

The second QFK;s is off the frame and waiting for binding.  I will be going today for a bone scan and afterwards will pick up some fabric to bind this quilt and the last one....

so I can add them to the growing pile of finished quilts!

My old child's rocker is shiny and smooth again; 
 ready to go back into the kids room to wait for a visit.
I played a bit on the lathe today;  taking a small 9" chunk of oak and removing the bark and then smoothing the wood underneath.
And then the fun part begins;  the shaping of the wood. 
 I have it polished and waxed.  
Today, I will be drilling out the center for the glass vial 
so I can use it for a plant or flower!

  2. Prayers for great results on the bone scan. Do you collect so many quilts before sending them in or do you donate them somewhere locally?
    That chunk of wood is going to be beautiful when you're finished. The grain is so pretty.
    Blessings,

  3. Oak is one of my favorite hardwoods. I have quite a few pieces in my apartment and have refurnished quite a few pieces years ago.
