I don't make covers for my ironing board, I have some fabric that is quilted, silver on the front, specifically for ironing boards I think...I made a huge rectangle of it and it covers a table. Much easier for those big quilt pieces. Love your pillow front, girl, and those gorgeous birds!Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06877277586697593998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-180706349479000572014-10-18T01:10:39.287+10:002014-10-18T01:10:39.287+10:00Lovely to see the Lorikeets.

They were so friendly (perhaps because we bought some nectar to feed them) I am finishing up my holiday table topper.

I tend to forget that. Your quilting on that little quilt looks great, and I'm so glad you are finishing that project. That ball of perle #12 is such a pretty color! Can hardly wait until the magazine comes out and then you can post the picture on here. Right now, I'm working on a CQ block that has Pam Kellogg's grandmother in the center, and I'm putting some autumn-colors donation blocks together for an American Hero quilt top. And I have traced the poinsettia tree and cut a bazillion little squares to go around it. I'm going to make it a square table topper for Christmas. =)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-59065936907545085792014-10-16T19:45:27.787+10:002014-10-16T19:45:27.787+10:00Oh Jenny...those birds are stunning!

I get motion sickness when I try to do anything other than be a passenger. Love the new projects. Oh yes, I need and new cover also. I have residue all over mine from fusibles. I am cross stitching right now, my sewing room is still in a work in progress.

Your 'keets are gorgeous, what inspiring colors they have. We don't have quite that array here in the N. Hem., but I love birds all the same. I must not be using my ironing board enough, this cover has lasted quite awhile:)<br />As for what I'm working on, I'm back to my Tilda inspired quilt. The top is in the home stretch and I will attempt to quilt it using your "library film" template method. Can't wait :) Thank you for sharing all your lovelies and memories. Such sweetness :)ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07402747414309388241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-82412592994949837152014-10-16T10:24:03.406+10:002014-10-16T10:24:03.406+10:00Hi Jenny, loved the story about Blossom & her ...Hi Jenny, loved the story about Blossom & her bird also.
