I'm really on a roll today. I'd say "Somebody stop me!", but please don't. I'm getting so many things done that I've been wanting to do for way too long. Maybe it's the sunshine, I don't know. Whatever it is, I'm happy to feel like I'm finally moving forward.

I've been wanting a big board now for a very long time. In fact, I've had the board cut since we were building our house, and we're not in it 9 months. Can't believe hubby didn't throw it away on me!

Anyway, instead of using an ironing board, I wanted to use my table to press. So what I did was made it the 'normal' way (layers of batting & cotton duck), but then after putting the board on top I laid a layer of felt so it wouldn't scratch my table. It's like one big padded board, and now I'm able to slip it behind my newly-hung quilt out-of-sight when not in use, and don't have to worry about scratching my wall or floor.

Hope you are all having a great day. :)
