Thank you all for your wonderful ideas and input (I thought the purple on the screen door was great, but the duct tape over the window - priceless!) I plan on making an ironing surface - I have the Teflon fabric and the Insul-Brite and will probably use the roll-a-way top for pressing and cutting when I'm piecing and it can double as support when I'm quilting. DH and I talked about it tonight, and he gently reminded me that a quilting frame is also on his to-do list - but I figure he's a busy guy, I'd better hedge my bets!
He just walked by, read this over my shoulder and said "Tell them my quilting is eating into my woodworking time!" I think I'll just leave that one alone :roll:
