QST Tables Anyone


Have you ever heard of the site called: IKEA Hackers? Basically it's a site where people show off what they have done by altering Ikea products in some way.   I follow along to keep up with some of the neat storage idea's that others have come up with.  Today this Hack called " New modifed LACK tables " - was posted.   Timo and Ulrika  have taken these Lack tables, and then cut the black ones  into quarter square triangles. The whole process is posted HERE.   Also notice they inserted the little insets for candles, plants, etc.  It was such a fun idea that I had to share. I can see taking this a bit further and painting a few block designs on the surface of those tables.

February UFO

The number for this months UFO is #1 - and that for me is "Sunrise on the Ole Homestead".  Last year when I tried to finish this UFO, my embroidery work was lost on the orange/purple/pink batik that I used.  So I wanted to replace these blocks with a solid creamy yellow.  I have looked every time I go to the local JoAnns (only fabric store we have in our area), for just that right yellow to no avail.  I searched for it online in a very light batik, but also to no avail.  So will try again this week and if I can't find it in a batik, I'll have to go with a solid.
