New Arrival ~ Quilt Stand! (Patagonia, AZ)

On The Cutting Board

Here are the pieces-parts
It's here!  It's here!  WooHoo!  My new quilt stand has arrived...some assembly required....Can you tell that I am very happy!  Okay, I know this has nothing to do with projects in process, but it is another tool that I use quite often.
TaDa! It is together.
I do believe this one is going to work a lot better than my old one.  I like how easy it is to adjust the height.  See, I am vertically-challenged especially in chairs.  I am 5'2" and I have a hard time finding a chair that allows my feet to touch the ground.  My last hoop could not adjust to a chair that was comfortable for me so the hoop would almost be under my chin.  I could choose to be in a comfortable chair or I could add pillows to give me the height I needed or dangle my feet from a taller chair.   Hmm, hoop under my chin and sit in comfort or dangle feet and be able to see what I am quilting.  Tough decision......not anymore!!

Look at all those notches!  Lots of room for adjusting this one and to make it shorter.  All righty then!  No more excuses, I definitely need to finish my granddaughter's quilt now.

  5. That looks like a good hoop stand for your purposes. The legs do not look that much different from its predecessor. One of these days I will post a picture of mine. I can use mine sitting on the floor.
