Exit78 Photo of the Day #36
Karen’s workspace has certainly changed. In this picture, she is sitting at a computer table reading something on her laptop. I assembled the table using a 30” by 40” pine table top and a set of four 28” table legs, which is just the right height for a computer table.
Her new sewing/cutting table is in the foreground on the left. I found an adjustable height steel desk frame which I paired with a 30” by 60” pine table top. With the adjustable height feature, the table is multifunctional for whatever she is using it for.

The back wall of the room is Karen’s design wall. It was made wrapping Styrofoam residential sheathing with flannel fabric. While she has two projects on the wall right now, sometimes she has more or, when working on a larger quilt, only one.
On the right side of the picture is Karen’s treasured hand crafted oak quilting frame. It’s not a one of a kind as the craftsman who built it over 20 years ago had a shop in northern Arkansas not too far south of Branson, Missouri, where he sold a number of these frames. The frame was his own design and is no longer available as he passed away some years back. (Karen’s explanation on loading)

Yup – there’s many a time when a man about the house would be (very!) useful. Karen’s quilting skills are amazing and she’s obviously very knowledgeable – as too you … with the carpentry, building, engineering elements!! Loved seeing it – cheers Hilary
Thanks. I know it’s not, but this just seems normal to us. We started out early in our marriage with DIY — do-it-yourself — projects, stained glass, candles, macrame, etc.
