Black Quilt for a New Look

From The Quilt Ladies

I love changing things around, stopping at the linen closet is one of my joys. I have a bad day…I just stand looking into it…maybe pull one out and it’s day done, all better !  I machine pieced this quilt and had it long arm quilted.  I think it was one of the boys??? All new to me !

Pink Quilt in My Office

Decorating with Quilts

I pull out quilts all the time, I have had to stop painting so much, meanly with my knee replacement, but also, it’s exhausting for me now. Fingers crossed that comes back, our guest bath is calling, “Paint me.” So now it’s a different quilt to make things look new. 
Here’s the quilt that is on the back of my Chair at my computer now
I took a border class I think when we lived in Windom, MN, YEARS ago, 30+
It measures about 14″ x 20″ perfect chair back size.

Make a Simple Ironing Board

From The Quilt Ladies 2014

 I saw this ironing table on Pinterest, my Pinterest page if you’d like to follow me HERE It was very easy ! 

iron board from a tv tray how too

I purchased a 9.00 wooden TV tray

Took batting, the kind that is used for hot pads, I used 2 layers and an old bath towel folded in half, but you could use just about anything for your top.

The tray was VERY hard and Husband helped me stable it all around the outside edge.  I have changed the towel a few times and even tried a silver press cloth, all I know, I press more and blocks look better !
