[QUOTE=rryder;7831725]Green Stamps! Got my very first pair of roller skates with green stamps! Ironing boards-- couldn't find one that I liked that didn't cost a fortune, so made one from a wooden board, some cotton batting and that silver ironing board fabric. I lay it on the end of my cutting table when I want to iron yardage, iron a quilt top and backing before basting or baste a quilt using fusible batting.

I've heard a lot of quilters who've done that. I'd like to, but no energy, so I suffer with the one I have. It makes so much sense. They however attach it to the top of their boards to make them longer or wider. There are a few u tube videos on this conversion. My motivation is renewed. Lol.
