quilting supplies from Lowe's!
#91
We have all at one time or another went shopping at Lowe's, Home Depot or the local hardware store for something we could use in the sewing/quilting room right???
well., this weekend, I heard of the NEWEST craze that is at the Hardware stores. I have Lowe's here, so I went online to verify they had this product...sure enough...
It is a Canvas painter's drop cloth. It is available in 8oz or 10oz and in many sizes.
Get this, it is 100% tight woven cotton canvas and the 4' x 5' in the 8oz weight is only.....$6.00!!!!
Do you know that Sharon Schamber recommends using Canvas to cover your ironing surface?
Do you know how many tote bags you can dye, paint, etc out of a canvas this size??..have you priced canvas lately?? Hancock fabrics has a piece that is 30" x 36" for $6.00! By the yard at 48" wide it is $7.00 yd. (I tried Joanns, but their site is down!)
Either way you look at it, this canvas drop cloth is super amazing. I bought one today, in this size, and man...it is super nice!
RUN to Lowe's and check it out!

DH took a triple dresser that we don't use any more and put a board on top. I covered the board with a layer of cotton batting and then made a canvas cover for it. It makes a large ironing surface and the drawer space is wonderful. You can never have too much storage space.

Thanks Jacquie, great information. Sounds like a deal. Should be lots of things to make with it, beach bags, diaper bags, picnic tablecloth just to name a few. I'm still unhappy with the board and was thinking about leaving it but I love all the information and helpful hints I find on here. I finally found that clicking on archives and then pictures was the way to go to see what everone was making but the pictures are so slow downloading that I don't want to wait on. I know I'm impatient but I don't have the time to sit here waiting. I need to be sewing more.

We don't have a Lowe's in our town, so I stopped at Menards and bought a canvas drop cloth and when I opened it up, it has plastic on the back so it is water proof, I don't think I can use this on my ironing board...I can't seperate the plastic either from the canvas...Oh well, will try Home DePot or Fleet Farm...Thanks for the tips...
