Showed Sam another picture. See what he made.

I need to make a carrying case for when we go to quilting retreats. (We = Shirley Anne and me.)

Edited: The front wood edge is the rolled edge on the desk that I use for a sewing table...not part of the extension table.

WOW! He's on a roll now...

Your Sam is quite the stylist, he makes beautiful dresses.

Nice! Wish I had someone like that! You're a lucky duck for sure!

Pam

I asked him when the orders started coming in how much he would charge...umm...No.

However, when SIL sees it she is going to want one too.

Just remind Sam that the more of them he makes the easier it will to make them. LOL Nice skirt, looks like it fits real nice.

Love the graining of the wood. I would be afraid of marring it with pins. Bet she dances nicely now!

Gosh, he does such beautiful work. You better keep him around!

DH put three coats of shellac on it, sanding between each coat. Then finished it with a coat of paste wax. Until the photo, I did not realize how close it matched the front edge of the computer desk I use!

This may be a better photo...

PM me how much he would do for others. I love it!

Sure wish I could makes skirts that well..Sam does nice work.....and he has the right coach....

Libby, Sorry. He doesn't even have the decency to answer me when I ask him how much he'd charge if I take orders. I will ask him one more time...

This is the one I showed him, although he did not make it like that one:

He took 3 boards, two long, one short, and put them together in a U. Cut the slot in the top with little "bites" to accommodate the hinged area of the bed, then put that on the frame. That one in the above link is $80!!!

eBay also has acrylic tables listed:

Pssttt...I've got to make a carry case similar to the case in the above link.

Thanks for the sites, Will give it some thoughts.

Sister Sue bought an acrylic one from the local quilt shop and she loves it. Says it was worth every penny she spent on it.

DF needs a new project - this is just the thing. I'll take out mine this weekend and take some measurements for him and send them down with pics of yours with my "request" Sam did a beautiful job...thank him for me too!

DH has been asked again. I'm getting the silent treatment.

Emailed DF with a pretty please I'd better get those measurements - no way is my machine actually going down to the farm.

I know he has a mess to clean up in his workshop - a woodchuck got in there and he shut him in for the night...woodchuck decided to knock over things and make a huge mess before trying to get out - I think he made it.

So sorry I didn't think about this earlier...

Thanks Sherry - I'm calling Dad this afternoon and will mail him the pictures.
