Beauty and The Beast


I bought this table top ironing board at a yard sale over the weekend for $1. As you can see, the cover is a bit sad. It is dirty and a weird fabric and a not so pretty blue. Being the frugal lady I am I didn't want to buy a new cover. I found this tutorial and went to work!

So, here is the beast:

And, here is the beauty:

The tutorial was wonderfully simple and I was able to do this very quickly! It was so fast and easy I decided to recover my main board also.

I'm not procrastinating on finishing my Christmas quilt I have been posting about. I just have not found a backing for it yet. I do not like to buy things full price and haven't been able to find a sheet marked down anywhere big enough for it. I found a nice red sheet at Target but it was a full and I need a queen size. Oh well, good things come to those who wait.

Quilt in Progress

I've been doing a lot of shuffling fabric...

ironing it into something that resembles a piece of fabric....

and then cutting it into 5inch squares. I haven't been able to work for very long because I am trying to recover from some type of virus but I hope to get this quilt together in a reasonable time. I'm trying a new block that I haven't done before but seems easy so I don't have to think too much in this heat!
