I have been on a mad cleaning rampage in my studio and general area.
In my cleaning, I came across a couple of quilt blocks from a quilt that I made for my niece about 15 years ago. It was a quilt full of family photo’s mostly of her but a smattering of everyone else. The blocks were about 8 x 8 and each one had a photo in the center. The back had Georgia Tech fabric. She got it for her college graduation from …..Georgia Tech. Oh, and yes, I made the Minnie Mouse costume she is wearing. I used to have a photo album of all the quilts I had made way back then, but they were lost in a flood. I should ask her for a photo.
The other photo was in my parent’s back yard. It was a really cute quilt.
So, What is new? Well, I made myself an ironing station, finally. I love it. There is so much storage. I don’t even have it filled yet (almost). I love it. It is fabulous. A hare but still awesome. I had been looking everywhere for the right storage and found it at IKEA. Each set of drawers cost about $53.00. The top is made out of birch, which I am told can deal with moisture and is very durable. I hope so.
Happy Sewing, Happy Quilting
Hey Lori. You now have the set up I have! It is also birch. I have the Elfa system from the Container Store. Love them. The neat thing about having a set up like that is the easy way to use muslin For the covers. You can wash it when dirty or change it when too messed up.

I did sort of copy of yours. I remember seeing a photo of it and have been in search of something similar. Works so much better. I used thumb tacks to attache my fabric so I can take it off easily. You have hte best ideas.

That is a spectacular ironing station. I may need to rethink my situation here. I have the ironing board we got as a wedding gift 30 years ago, and it is getting a little creeky. My storage is two short dressers from a garage sale, and the legs fall off when I open the drawers. You have inspired me!

This is a great ironing station!! I have a large board covering my very old ironing board from when we got married. It works but certainly could be better and I’m not using the space underneath at all 😦 Btw, have you had a chance to use the ‘new’ basting spray from June Tailor? If so, your thoughts? I got mine in the mail a few months ago but haven’t used it yet.

Hi Lori! What a fabulous ironing station. I have my ironing board sitting at the end of my bed – it’s a bit unconventional but it’s nice with a ceiling fan right over it. I stay cooler when ironing in the summer. I LOVE your setup though. I wish I had the room for a setup like that. ~smile~ Roseanne
