Welcome to Day 4 of the Dare To Dresden Hop!
For this hop I decided to make
a MUCH needed new ironing board cover.
I made three 6" Dresdens
and embroidered "wash" "press" "repeat"
in the centers :)
I used my old stained nasty gently used cover
as the pattern.
Taking that sucker apart took way longer
than making the new one :)
Making Dresdens is totally FTS, (fun to sew)
but attaching them by hand is not my favorite thing.
I do love the final result,
so I guess it's worth it in the end.
I'm one of the strange few that actually enjoys ironing
so this new cover just makes me happy :)
Now....on to the giveaway!
One lucky winner will receive
3 fat quarters of Cotton Blossoms by Bonnie & Camille
and the Ruffle Potholder pattern by Sweetwater!

I'd make more things for my home and kids, that would never happen though as being blessed with 4 daughters means I'll never have "spare" time. Seriously, I would attempt more complex patterns as at the moment my mantra is " finished is better than perfect".
ReplyDeleteI so so so want to win that fabric! This week I also made a new ironing board cover but mine is so much simpler! Love yours and how it matches your colour scheme in the kitchen! I now have been living mine out in the kitchen as I think it enhances it rather than look like I could not be bothered to put it back in the cupboard!
ReplyDeletebtw I am an old follower!
ReplyDeleteOoh, nearly forgot to say I'm a follower already. :)
ReplyDeleteI'd make Tula Pink's anchors away quilt. What afun project--I love the colors!
ReplyDeleteIf time and money were no object I would visit more international quilting shows as they are such an inspiration. When it comes to the actual making I generally get to do what I want to do anyway - the lack of time just means it takes a little longer and I budget carefully to be able to buy the fabrics I want.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome ironing board cover! Love the red too and the Dresdens are perfect. It would make me want to iron things!! If time and money were no object I would sew every day. My wish list of projects is huge!!
ReplyDeleteI follow you!
ReplyDeleteIf time or money were no object, I would spend my time quilting/[laying with fabric as much as I possibly could.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous work. Thank you for sharing such wonderful eye candy today. If time and money were no object I would hire a private quilting teacher to teach me that things I still do not know how to do.
ReplyDeleteLove that cotton blossoms fabric! If time and money were no object, I'd get an Innova longarm quilting machine to quilt up all of the tops I've got sewn up!
ReplyDeleteLove your ironing board cover and your great red kitchen! If I had endless money, I'd have a longarm!
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower...thanks for the givaway!
ReplyDeleteI don't want to enter the giveaway, but I had to tell you how wonderful that ironing board cover is! That would actually make me want to iron! Great, great job!

ReplyDeleteYou blog is so pretty & bright !!!! Love your work ;)
I LOVE your ironing board! Maybe I should make one for myself to inspire me to be more careful when ironing.. Mine stays a mess for some reason...
ReplyDeleteIf I had all the time in the world I would make a quilt for every member of my family... yep.. I would. :)
wow your ironing board is very very pretty!!! beautiful dresden plate you made. Thank's for the chance to win. I i had more time, i'll make quilt all the time!!!

ReplyDeleteCute ironing board cover! :)
ReplyDeleteTime and money that would be a dream come true...staring with building an art department in the style of Frank L Wrights Falling Waters! So each of my crafty artsy loves would have their own space! :)
Now this is one gorgeous ironing board cover and it would make anyone enjoy ironing!!! You are brilliant; love the fabrics that you used; and I'm quite ashamed of how sad my ironing board looks. :(
ReplyDeleteBTW, I am a follower. :)
ReplyDeleteDarling ironing board cover. Hope is stays looking good for a long time.
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower.
ReplyDeleteI love your ironing board cover!! Great color; so cheerful. I don't like hand applique either; I do it by machine now. faster...I would make the same things if I had time and money. lol...when it comes to quilting..I try not to think about that...haha
ReplyDeleteI am a follower already...thanks for the great giveaway
ReplyDeleteI would still be quilting.. I have always wanted to make a cathedral windows quilt.. but not with muslin. I want to make one with beautiful fabrics.
ReplyDeleteIf money was no problem, I would make everyone in my family and extended family a quilt.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Karen...what a delightful project and it suits your kitchen perfectly...love the colours, design..well everything and I have a love affair with my iron and board...so glad you partook in our challenge...( partook is a word isn't it? lol)
ReplyDeleteI would get more of my quilts finished and started. I have a lot of patterns and ideas but the lack the funds for fabric, backings and professional quilting. But I still enjoy what I can get done!! Cute fabric, and I love your ironing board cover!
ReplyDeleteI love your ironing board cover! What a great (and beautiful!) idea. With unlimited time and resources I guess I would just do more of what I'm already doing--sewing, creating, quilting.
ReplyDeleteAnd now I'm a follower too!
ReplyDeletesuch a happy cheerful ironing board, very pretty. If I had lots of time and money...more of what I do now, but you wouldn't get into my sewing room for piles of new fabric!
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you made your own ironing board cover. Too cute next to your red kitchenaide. I am one who still irons everything. I go thru to many covers to make my own.
ReplyDeleteTeresa's Heartfelt Stitches
If money wasn't an issue, I would love to sew full time. I really enjoy making, bags, purses and pouches with a quilt thrown in here and there.
ReplyDeleteI am a follower and have been for quite some time. I love your blog. Awesome ironing board cover!
ReplyDeleteLove the ironing board cover. I need to make another one. I use my small one in my sewing room. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteJust broke my cheapo WalMart ironing board and need a new one! Have to make this cover for myself- will inspire me to iron more :)
ReplyDeleteIf time and money were no object, would make quilts every day of the week!
Am a follower also!~
ReplyDeleteHi. Love the ironing board cover! i would make that and curtains for my kitchen. and a quilt for each family member.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a blog or anything so no profile and i hope I did this right:)
best wishes

Great idea for an ironing board cover, it would never have occurred to me to do anything that pretty for my ironing board. If I had all the time I would make myself a beautiful hexagon quilt out of Liberty fabric. I do my hexagons with EPP so it would need a lot of time. Thanks for a lovely giveaway.

ReplyDeleteI am a follower! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI love the ironing board cover, too!! Again, if time were no issue I would recover mine, too.
I'm totally jealous of your ironing board cover! I have a nice one but now it's just boring. :) blessings, marlene
ReplyDeleteYour ironing board cover is wonderful! Ironing would be so much more fun if I worked on a surface that pretty!!!
ReplyDeleteIf I had more time and money, I would do more quilts just for fun and family!

ReplyDeleteYour ironing board cover is awesome and will make it more fun to iron.
ReplyDeleteIf I have more money I think I will buy lot of fabric and make more quilts.Thanks for sharing your creativity

Girl, I love your ironing board cover---those colors are divine---my colors all the way :) If money were no object I would have all of the fabrics and books that I ever wanted and I would cut and sew from daylight to dark. :D
ReplyDeleteOh, and yes indeedy, I am a faithful follower. :)
ReplyDeleteI would hoard all the fabric I could, not sure what crafty goodness I would do with it...but I'd do something! :)
ReplyDeleteHi!!! Love your dresden ironing board cover!!!! WOW!!! If time and money were no object?!!! People would probably never see me again!!! I imagine I would just get lost in creating!!! Thanks for the fun!!!
ReplyDeleteOMG ! What a cute ironing board cover ! And I love anything by Bonnie and Camille *wink* !
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower, your blog is "sew" cute it's a must to follow. Glad I found it on this hop!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE your ironing board cover. If time and money were no object, I probably only leave the house to get more fabric.
ReplyDeleteI am a follower by e-mail.
ReplyDeleteHey Karen, Mike just asked me if I was going to make a new cover for my ironing board last night. Might be a a good Etsy Shop Item :) hint hint. Love your dresdens all pretty with the stitching. If time and money were no object, I would make a big ol' applique quilt. Of course I don't yet know how to do applique like that, but I would certainly try!
ReplyDeleteI would follow you anywhere Karen, but especially your blog :D
ReplyDeleteNow this is one fun way to use dresdens and have a little pick me up while ironing! Too cute! :)
ReplyDeleteGood morning Karen...I luv your new 'happy' ironing board cover. I luv the hand sewing part. I recently made a new cover for mine too. I used the old one for the pattern...it was sEw easy. With more time and money, I would take lots of lessons and be more creative with my long arm quilting. Thanks for inspiring me today, happy stitching, Pauline
ReplyDeleteKaren-Your ironing board with the dresdens really looks great, but I'm not the kind of person who would spend that much time making an ironing board cover-LOL! From CA, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI'm a happy follower and you continue to inspire me. Luv your mug caddies and aprons, lots of creativity and cuteness on your blog. Happy stitching, Pauline
ReplyDeleteYour ironing board cover is the best!! I love it! Now, if I could work on any project without worrying about money or time... it would probably be quilts for everyone in my family (extended family too!!)Nothing like sharing the love!
ReplyDeleteSO cool Karen! Love it!
ReplyDeleteBut wouldn't want to use it...my ironing board becomes such a mess!
A devoted follower who loves visiting and seeing all of your beautiful creations - wonderful ironing board with attitude. Thanks for sharing from Judy C and for the wonderful opportunity.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your ironing cover and the colors are wonderful!!!! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower! Look forward to seeing all your creativity.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great cover! Inspires me to make one, my ironing board is in serious need of a new cover. I don't enjoy ironing though. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI suspect that I would strt a quilt - some kind of scrappy quilt -- and try to add embroidery and buttons and bead and ribbons wherever I wanted!
ReplyDeleteI already follow you. :-)
ReplyDeleteI am a happy regular follower of your blog.
ReplyDeleteI love your ironing board cover. I have alaways wanted a cute one myself, but dreaded having my cute fabric getting scorch marks on it. I suppose I should just get over that and make one so I can have more fun at the ironing board. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea and deserving of a top Dresden for today!
ReplyDeleteI am a follower. If there were no limitations, I would love to work on a silk crazy quilt.

LOVE YOUR PROJECTS,ESPECIALLY THE IRONING BOARD COVER! THANKS FOR SHARING!
ReplyDeletemsstitcher1948@yahoo.com
If time and money were no object I would make a quilt for me. Every quilty/crafty project I take on is always for someone else, I've never made a quilt just for ME. So I'd buy the whole bundle of Bonnie and Camille's new line (Happy-Go-Lucky) and I'd go piece myself a quilt and pay someone to make quilt on a longarm. :)
ReplyDeleteIn the mean time, I'm totally tackling a new ironing board cover with my stash. Six inch dresdens!! That's so tiny!! You've got skill... :D
I am a follower! jbechosend at sbcglobal dot net
ReplyDeleteI seriously LOVE your new ironing board cover!! LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteIf money were no object, I would send out a quilt I have pieced to be custom longarmed by one of the great longarmers that are out there. Oh, that would be fabulous!!
fabulous!
ReplyDeleteLong time follower! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI want to finish the queen-size wonky star quilt I'm working on for my mom, and then do a king-sized for myself! And about 5 baby quilts for all the babies in our family!
ReplyDeleteThat cover would make me WANT to iron...love it! Thanks for sharing this great idea. :O)
ReplyDeleteooohhh. I would start painting the resin kits from japan again. They are around $80 each and shipping is expensive. I love designing quilts though, so I would also end up with a huge stash of fabric. I would also finish my applique lap quilt and the 90" sq quilt I'm working on.
ReplyDeleteGreat give-away! I'd be making things for an ETSY store of my own if I had all the time in the world! Thanks
ReplyDeleteI am all ready a follower of your blog.Thanks for the chance to enter your giveaway. I really love what u did with those dresdens. I also love to iron. I would rather iron than cook...I need to make me a new cover also...What inspirationI have now to do so.
ReplyDeleteconn_and_vans_mom(at)yahoo(dot)com
I would buy a Long arm quilter then I would have fun.
ReplyDeleteIf time and money were no object. I wouldcraft until I died...literally..I would join all those cool quilting classes. I would buy me a bunch of new sewing machines sew that my things would look awesome since they were being made on awesoem machines..lol...I would order and make tons of those quilt kits that come with the precut fabrics allready..I hate cutting out the pieces...The only bad part of quilting and sewing for me. Would definitely have to buy me one of those magnificient computerized long arm quilting machine contraptions and be taught how to use it. That way I would be able to quilt all those quilt kits up pronto after I made them.
ReplyDeleteconn_and_vans_mom(at)yahoo(dot)com
I love, love, love your ironing board cover.
ReplyDeleteI can see that red is your favorite color. So bright and cheerful. If I was retired I would be using up my stash right and left instead of just dribs and drabs at a time. That is my goal within the year.
ReplyDeletevery nice project. If I had all the time and money, I buy a long arm and make quilts for everyone i know.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful Project you made with your Dare! I like it alot! Thank you so much for participating in the HOP. Hugs and Happy Hoppin'
ReplyDeleteLove your site...so cheery! Your ironing board cover is fantastic and the colors are awesome! If money were no object I would spend all my time in my sewing room and help my sister with her prayer quilt ministry. Thanks for sharing and thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower.
ReplyDeleteI love your ironing board cover! There is nothing nicer (o me) than having things that are both useful and beautiful. If time and money were no object, I would do EVERY kind of craft I could fine -- wood carving, and longarm quilting, and lampwork. I just love actually making things -- actually finishing them might be nice, too. Gotta try THAT this year, lol.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the most creative. This one really rings me bell. What a fabulous idea. I just might have to dresden up my ironing board now! Thanks for the wonderful inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThat is positively adorable! What a great idea and only you would think of making something functional also beautiful! I LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteIf money and time were not object I'd get started on the quilt kits that I have at home and sew, sew, sew!
Your ironing board cover would make anyone like ironing. If I had enough time and money, I would provide myself with a workspace for quilting, get a long arm machine and learn to use it. Then I would quilt all kinds of projects.
ReplyDeleteI would love to work on everything, lol...there's no way I would be able to narrow it down!
ReplyDeleteI follow your blog via GFC.
ReplyDeletewhat a great giveaway. I love your iron cover too - so cute! If time and money were no object... I would focus more on tops because that is my favorite thing to work on and not feel guilty.... then I would send everything to a long-armer to be finished... including the binding (lol) - There are soo many projects that I want to do, but to have to take the time to actually quilt them (mediocrely I might add) takes away from more projects.
ReplyDeleteI follow you via google reader
ReplyDeletewhat a cheerful ironing board cover, fits right in with your kitchen. Im a new follower

ReplyDeleteIf I had all the time and money, I'd get someone to help me choose the fabrics , then I'd sew a super king size quilt for my bed.

ReplyDeleteAn ironing board cover has been on my to do list forever! Love yours. Guess that would be one project I would do if I had time. Would like to do some fabric cutting on my new Silhouette too!
ReplyDeleteI have been a happy follower of yours for some time now!
ReplyDeleteCrafty goodness? Oh I would say I would to have a wood workshop, totally nothing to do with fabric but I would love to learn how to make furniture and cover chairs with fabric! That is all after quilting and crafting of course!

ReplyDeleteCongrats on a adorable original design and on being named one of the top three today. Man, if I could sew all day, i would certainly be a happy camper, but REALLY poor :)

ReplyDeleteYour Dresden ironing board cover is totally awesome.

ReplyDeleteIf $ were not an option, I might buy the top, top of the line longarm quilting machine and take classes from the pros.
ReplyDeleteYour ironing board cover is adorable and obviously you are a red person. I admire your creativity in taking apart your old one for a pattern. WTG!
You are generous in your giveaway. Thank you for taking time to participate in the hop and inspire us.

ReplyDeleteGreat board cover! Beautiful as usual! Awesome giveaway too! If money were no object I'd buy all the fabric and patterns I want and make all those quilts that always catch my eye! ;)
ReplyDeleteSuper cute ironing board! If money were no object I'd buy the most amazing long arm set up on the market and hire someone to come for a week of personalized lessons... dream :-D~
ReplyDeleteLove the board cover...need to make a new one:)
ReplyDeleteIf money was no object I don't think I would change to much as I pretty much buy what I want/need now anyway:)
Thanks!
Rosemary B here: your ironing board cover is adorable. I love it. I love RED and your kitchen is really nice from what I can see. :-D
ReplyDeleteMoney and time are not an issue project "fantasy"?
hahaha Well, I have always wanted to make a house cozy. I need a Guh-jillion yards of fabric, and batting. I want to quilt it and make a cute quilty door. Seriously, wouldnt that be super fun?
Okay other than that, make a quilt for everyone I love.
Thank you for sharing your massive creativity
What a great idea! I just love your new ironing board cover :*) You will enjoy that every day from now on!
ReplyDeleteLove the bright colors in your Dresden Ironing board cover. If time and money were no object, I would make bed quilts for our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, which would total almost 20, so I think it's more of a fantasy than reality. Joined your blog today,
ReplyDeleteIf time and money were not a considered I would be making a new quilt one after the other and would not miss out on any of the new fabrics I have to say no to. I love you ironing board cover.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love, love your ironing board cover!
ReplyDeleteIf time and money were no object, I'd attend as many quilt festivals I could find, go to quilting classes and no matter where they were held.
I'm already a follower via GFC. Thank you for offering a great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely iron-board cover! (I look at my old one, and think...).
ReplyDeleteIf time and money were no object, I'd make a special quilt for each of my 3 children
:o)
pippirose59 at gmail dot com
I love your new cover. My wonderful hubby made a rectangular cover for my ironing board perfect for large pieces of fabric. Nothing fancy like yours. I hate ironing clothes but love pressing blocks! And time and money are not my biggest obstacle but space is. I'm making a design wall in pieces that I can lay out a queen size quilt top on.
ReplyDeleteLove your cheery and bright ironing board cover! If time and money were no object, I would work on a large quilt..sewing is no problem but laying it out on the floor is almost impossible with my knees so I would need someone to do all that work for me.
ReplyDeleteI am a follower.
ReplyDeleteWow,It`s spectacular.Will give worth using the iron board cover.Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteI`d love tohave a long arm .
I`m a happy follower.Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteA kindred spirit! I love to iron too! My children think I'm nuts but it is really relaxing for me. In 7th grade I gave a speech on how to iron a shirt! What a nerd! Love your Dresdens! maybe I will make an ironing board cover too!
ReplyDeleteBeth
Forgot to say of course I'm a follower! ;) Must use every chance I can to win that awesome prize! :)
ReplyDeleteI am a happy follower. I love your blog! It's lots of fun and very friendly.
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love your ironing board cover. Mine is so hideous but I haven't been inspired to make a new one - until now. I just might have to look into this. If I had all the time and money I needed I would add a nice, big, sunny room to my house and buy a longarm. How fun that would be!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way to keep a smile on your face while ironing! You are too clever. While I would be happy to have simple shelves built into my closet so I could access my fabric easily, given unlimited money, I'd love to have a decent sized sewing room with good lighting. I can only dream.
ReplyDeleteI love you ironing board cover. If money were no object I would get a long arm and do all my own quilting.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty Ironing board cover. I wouldn't mind ironing if my cover were that pretty. Was it hard to make(besides the taking apart of the old one?) I could, if money were no object,and I had better skill, finish up all the quilts I have started and been given. Maybe I will just start tomorrow....
ReplyDeleteThat ironing board is just adorable. Who would not want to iron if they had it to use? Great creative idea!
ReplyDeleteThe ironing board is awesome. If money were no object, I would make a king size quilt featuring just one fabric collection. I would also have a new serger and a long arm quilting machine.
ReplyDeleteI am a follower
ReplyDeleteWow what a question. I would probably make a very elaborate Baltimore Album Quilt with really wonderful fabrics.
ReplyDeleteHmm... I'd have to say a full queen size quilt out of my favourite Art Gallery Fabrics. And to make it all by myself, I'd need a new sewing machine as my baby Elna could NOT do this all by herself ;)
ReplyDeleteI love your Dresden! And I need one of those covers so bad, mine has tears and rips! If I had all the money and time in the world, I would buy myself one of the best sewing machines that could practically free motion quilt by itself! And I would finally make that Farmers Wife quilt that I've wanted for so long! Complete with vintage fabrics :) Ahh, love to dream!
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower (LOVE your reds!)
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower!
ReplyDeleteI have a very long list of things I'd love to try that span fabrics (quilting techniques, embroidery and other hand sewing, etc) and "wet" crafts (mosaics, painting techniques, etc) and wood working, jewelry making/beading... the list just goes on and on and on LOL!
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy cover. That will make ironing fun.
ReplyDeleteI think if time and money were no object, I would have a beautiful studio that would allow me to have a place to paint, dye, and discharge fabric that wouldn't make a mess of what space I do have now. I like the idea of altering my fabric, but I really don't have the space!
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower
ReplyDeleteI would do a rainbow dear jane quilt.
ReplyDeleteI'm already a follower of your awesome blog!
ReplyDeleteI am retired and now have time! If money was no object, I would still quilt anything I wanted. I'm very lucky!
ReplyDeleteYour ironing board cover cracked me up. I LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteUgh, there's nothing worse than a gungy cover - I just washed mine TWICE last week trying to get the silly thing clean...starch really stains :( Last time I put a white cover on it, I tells ya! lol.
Thanks for sharing - I love it.
What a great idaa! I love the ironing board cover and your embroidery stiching is great! I love that detail! Thanks for participating and inspiring us! I'm following!
ReplyDeleteIf time and money were no object, I would love to have a long arm machine and a larger sewing studio. Thanks for sharing your pretty Dresdens. I love your color choices.
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI love how your everyday ironing board is now so beautiful. If time were no object, I would do a lot of hand quilting. If money were no object, i would buy a lot of the fantastic voiles for making clothes.
ReplyDeleteOh I have so many dreams of things to make, but I think to start with it would be a quilt from Central Park fabric that I haven't yet been brave enough to cut into!
ReplyDeleteI adore your new ironing board cover! I have needed to make myself a new one for quite sometime, but just could not come up with the right inspiration. LOL. I found it with this SUPERB project! Thanks so much for sharing. I will be following your posts for sure!
ReplyDeleteI love your ironing board cover! You have inspired me to create a new one. If I had the time and the money, I would take several quilting classes and just totally improve so many aspects of my quilting. Then, I would donate each and every one of them. Thanks so much for sharing you project and for the give away.
ReplyDeleteIf time and money (and talent) were no object, I'd learn how to do stained glass which always reminds me a bit of quilting...except with glass LOL
