Voila... a perfect storage tote for my cutting table!  It measures 6x12" and has plenty of room for my cutting tools, notepads & pens.  The rest of the paper scraps have been stored for some future makeovers.  Now that my table is actually clean I turn around to find my inspector has arrived.

  3. Nicely done, Deb! What I wouldn't give for an area like that... gotta get one of the girls to commit to moving out, I guess! ;-) Have fun! (P.S. I could match you project for project with my knitting to your quilting! HA!)

    1. Hi Linda. Tucker is a Bluepoint Siamese. I googled Blue Burmese and I can why you would ask! The light was behind him in that pic but he has gorgeous pale blue eyes.
