Boards...A funny title for a blog post but it was definitely the theme in my sewing room this week.
An afternoon was spent making a few more design boards. I use them all the time when I am sewing up various blocks or quilt sections right at my machine. I like to work on multiple projects at once so this allows me to pull a section of fabrics off my design walls and stack them up next to my machine as I sew. I can also take them to my ironing board as I sew up the blocks - keeping them all together and therefore less confusing.
Here is a link to the tutorial I loosely follow.
And speaking of ironing boards - mine now has a new cover! Looking back at previous posts, it looks like my board needs a new cover annually. Not being too particular about the fabric, I just pulled an older fabric from my stash that didn't have a home. Because I never close my ironing board, I simply grab some string and a large needle and lace the fabric across the bottom making it taunt. It works great!
These are my only finishes for this week. I am busily working on three quilt projects so I hope to get a top done soon. Maybe there will be a quilt finish for next week!
