A She Shed

Attachment 161821Attachment 161822 This is one I have already restored that we have on display in our entry. This on from memory is around 1902 , I have another in the garage waiting to have new veneer on top that is around 1911 ish. I also need to buy some draws for it also. We have a couple of frames I have converted into small tables , one being used as a potting table he other a drinks serving table out side.

Some of the fabric she has had for over 20years , she has not used it yet , her taste has changed & she will never use it.[bighmmm] I have a four car garage with three cars in it . two Messene Floors the size of two car spaces, there is no room to store car parts & I can hardly walk around in it.Attachment 161796Attachment 161797Attachment 161798

We found a mountain of fabric after mother in law died recently. We gave it to a local quilters group. They were very grateful.

Thanks for that .My wife is in a small local Quilting group who meet at each others house each week to sow & have morning tea chat, but they are down to 5 members now after a couple have passed away lately . There is way too much fabric here for such a small number of people , I would say around 50 large plastic storage boxes , a collection of over 30 years . The other group in the area have disbanded a couple of years ago. :thumbsup:

Hi,
Sorry, no such thing.
She who dies with the biggest stash - wins.

Or so I am reliably informed.

Cheers

My sister restored that exact same unit and uses it as an entrance table. Belonged to my Grandmother.

Hi, have you tried holding your phone on its side, ie. in landscape mode. This may fix your pics. or make them all upside down ha,ha ..........

I've got one of these in the shed, originally my grandmothers but not in as good condition as yours. It still has the original purchase receipt from 1929 and the final lay-by payment receipt from 1931 in the drawer. Only problem it's a family heirloom/history item but what to do with it ? I doubt the kids are interested and it's too valuable to discard :( ......................... perhaps I'll just will it to someone I don't like :) :twisted:

We now have the land scaping finished in front yard & around the shed , I think it is looking a treat.
