Two Working at Their Crafts

During this past Thanksgiving week I was busy catching up on some projects. One of those projects was the row along by Lori Holt. I made the coffee cup row this week and added the sashing to some of the other rows that needed them. The rows are not sewn together yet. So here they all are but wait! Oh, Lori has come out with the next row which is leaves. So I will be in my swing room today working on those. 
 This week while I was sewing Mr. P. was in his workshop finishing a bench for my #2 son and daughter-in-law. This is for their kitchen table.
 Mr. P. also made them another end table for their living room. Last year he made a coffee table and an end table. He had promised this one and finally got it done.
These were delivered when we went to the couple's house for Thanksgiving. They were very pleased to get them.

Well, I am off to go do some sewing. I hope you get to do some sewing too.

With Passion,
Carrie P.

Nice to see the progress on your row by row. Wonderful workmanship by Mr. P. Lucky family to get them hand delivered, in person.

Oh, I can well imagine that your son and DIL were delighted with their new pieces of furniture.

You and your hubby are incredibly talented. :-)

Cute quilt and I like the furniture. Will have to have Mr. P make me a sewing table when I get my sunroom done.

How wonderful to receive hand made furniture for Thanksgiving! Seems very appropriate, somehow. Your row by row is looking terrific!

The furniture is beautiful! I do love your row quilt, too; how long is each row? The variety of each block row is just great.
