Making Do!!

I finally have a finish to add to my sidebar list!!

Before, I always had my Big Board on top of my ironing board, so it didn’t matter how the cover on my ironing board looked…

But I will not be making any large quilts here, so the ironing board cover had to be recovered!

I found a cute 100% cotton décor weight fabric on sale at Joann’s.  I cut the fabric about 4” larger than my ironing board top and made a casing all around and used thin elastic for the gathering cord. I did add a layer of batting under it, as well. I think it looks perfect!  On to the next project!!

No design wall here…and can’t make more holes in walls adding one… so I bought a flannel backed tablecloth, folded one edge down to make a casing.

Bought a tension rod and slipped it in!!  Voila!

Portable design wall!!  YAY!!

So, I can put it up when I need it and roll it and store it in the corner when I don’t!!
Here’s one of the placemats I’m making from the bricks I cut from the Strawberry Fields fat eighth bundle.
