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!
Anybody want this?

If time and money were not an object, I would quit my job and quilt all day, every day just for the fun of it. My studio would look like a quilt store with all the latest and greatest fabrics at my finger tips. I'd have a professional photography studio to snap pictures of my crafty goodness in the perfect light. I'd have a huge cutting table at the perfect height for me and a table big enough to spread out a king size quilt for basting.....oh, can I dream or what?
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower by email...glad to have found you.
ReplyDeleteIf time and money didn't count --- I would make a cathedral window quilt. But time is at a premium -- so I'll work on smaller projects.

I love your ironing board cover! It's a clever idea and looks very cheerful. If time and money were no object I would make faster progress on my quilting to-do list.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway.
I would love to make a Kim Diehl quilt in gorgeous colors and do the applique by hand. I am a raw edge person mostly. I would also like to make another McKenna Ryan quilt too. Thanks for the inspiration and giveaway. K-
ReplyDeleteIf time and money were no object, I would love to have a go at the Baltimore Christmas quilt. I think it looks stunning, but oh-so-much hard work!

ReplyDeleteThat is just gorgeous, it could almost be worth ironing to look at that.
ReplyDeleteIf money were no object I'd probably do much the same crafts as I do now, I'd just have a much better space to do them in

ReplyDeleteLove your ironing board cover - spectacular idea!!! I already have a great sewing machine, embroidery machine and longarm...just need more space for them! I have the best "job" in the world - I get to longarm :)

ReplyDeleteWoW! You did an amazing job! How gorgeous is your ironing board! Heck, you should never put it away, hehe. One day I have to attempt a new cover for mine. Thank you for sharing, awesome job! If money was no object, then I could hire a housekeeper so I could sew all day. I have lots of UFOs that I really want to finish. My goal this year is to get several of my quilts completed. Since money is an object and I can't totally ignore my family, hehe, I will just do what I can.
ReplyDeleteThank you for a super giveaway and a chance to win some lovely fabric. Yes, I can use this fabric, hehe.

That's sew clever to make your ironing board like that - I like it! If I had the chance, I'd quit my Day Job and spend 8 hours a day in my sewing room making quilts for all my family and projects that strike my fancy. Nothing in particular. I just want to make them all!
ReplyDeleteI have been a follower. Look forward to your posts!
ReplyDeleteI totally LOVE the ironing board cover! It makes me happy :-)!
ReplyDeleteI would make a laptop cover and a sewing machine cover. Please enter me in the giveaway :-).
ReplyDeleteI am a follower and this my 2nd comment for a 2nd chance to win the giveaway. Thank you :-)! This is 'sew' fun :-)!
ReplyDeleteI would make a bed-sized quilt for every member of my family (nieces and nephews, too!) if time and money were not an object!
ReplyDeleteI would love to buy a long arm quilting machine. Also would have to add on to the house as I have no room for it now.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely ironing board cover....
ReplyDeleteI am a follower and have been for quite a while....
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea especially for those of us that quilt and spend lots of time at the ironing board. Both of my ironing boards need cover updates!
ReplyDeleteIf money were no object, I'd buy a long arm machine. But so far my domestic machine is working just fine, LOL.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing, this is the most beautiful ironbord that I ever saw. I want one too ☺
ReplyDeleteLiebe Grüße

wow Karen i would make a tail feathers quilt in the prettiest fabrics,great ironing board cover Karen.xx
ReplyDeletei am now a new follower of your lovely blog.xx
ReplyDeleteLove your cover. I think maybe you like red, eh. LOL If I had money I would buy a sew machine with stitch regulator so my machine quilting would improve. Then you know what I would do with my time!
ReplyDeleteOh, I want a new ironing board cover exactly like this one! It is so cute! I'm tired of looking at that silver thing on mine. lol. Great job. If time and money were no object, I don't know exactly what I would work on! There are so many great patterns out there and so much beautiful fabric. I do know that my stash would greatly increase!
ReplyDeleteIf time & money were no object, I would sew my quilts and not worry about anything else.

I absolutely love your ironing board cover! I'm not a fan of ironing, but this cover sure would make it more interesting! If time and money were not object, I would like to learn to do needle paint embroidery combined with stumpwork. Absolutely gorgeous stuff!
ReplyDeleteI am a long time follower in google reader, and now through your sidebar app!
ReplyDeleteIf time and money weren't an object.. a nice sewing studio that I could quilt in as well as clothes for my little monkey..I love to do both but rarely have the time or the space to have many projects going.
ReplyDeleteOh, your dresden projects are so fantastic! Wish my ironing board looked so good. ;o)
ReplyDeleteI would spend more time sewing and designing to my heart's content. I would open up a studio where other's could come to sew (or learn to sew) with machines available for their use. Including a long arm. Yes, that would be fun!
If time and money where no object, I'd have a long arm machine in my studio! Lovely ironing board cover! pbstrand@msn.com
