Here it is: the redo of my old sewing table. It was a find at an antique store some years ago. The table was unfinished, and had wobbly legs. It was likely originally a makeup vanity with a fabric skirt around the lower section. There were some small nails still around the top edges. If there were ever a matching stool, it is obviously long gone. After removing those small nails and sanding, this is the end result. The table now matches it's chest of drawers, painted in the same Valspar® Brisk Olive and the top varnished with the same olde maple stain. The original drawer pull was a simple wood round one. It was replaced with a round decorative, colorful pull that was in my stash for a long time. The drawer is handy for scissors, seam rippers, and other sewing notions. Have you ever refinished any wood furniture? Please continue reading.

String blocks for Covered in Love
The quilt block for Covered in Love's Jan/Feb Challenge is string blocks. This was a new one for me, and they were fun to sew. They are also a great scrap-buster. I made four string blocks, and tried to use colorful and cheerful fabrics. There is a plus for this Challenge, a giveaway of two jelly rolls of fabric for two winners. Winning would be great, but the true joy is in helping this worthy cause. Doesn't it make your heart feel good to do some charity work? Prim blessings.
