Do you ever repurpose items for your studio, home, or workspace? Maybe you’ve turned an old shelf into fantastic fabric storage, or maybe old trunks and suitcases now serve as décor and places to keep you prized treasures. In this case, Beate she was able to turn an old distressed table into a perfect place to showcase jewelry.

“I started out with a much loved antique little shabby chic distressed table I had had in our showroom for a while.
I’ve been having trouble finding a jewelry case that would fit the style of my showroom and that would look special enough to house my friend’s amazing jewelry, so I built a case for the top of the table/case that I refinished to match (I am also a picture framer by trade). I then built two frames out of a French style moulding that I hinged to the top of that frame. I lined the case with some fabric, and ‘Voila!’, I ‘found’ what what I had been looking for:) It has been getting a great response, especially from my friend who makes the jewelry (KiraKira).”

2.) You will sew each row one at a time.
3.) When all the rows are completed, sew them together. Be careful when matching up the corners.
4.) Baste your quilt. I personally like to spray & pin baste.
5.) I did a double echo quilting on the diamonds. I love how it makes them super puffy!
Here is a view of the quilting from the back.
6.Bind as desired. When I sew baby and children quilts that I know will get a lot of heavy use, I bind with my sewing machine.
