Love the way your ironing board turned out and the pincushion is super cute.

What a genius idea! Mine is just a 21 x 48 inch board that goes over my regular ironing board. I like your idea better!

Great ironing surface. Where did you get the neat iron rest?

Thank you everyone! I'm going to send my hubby a link to this thread because he will get a kick out of it!

Delores, the iron rest is actually a part of the iron. It's the Hamilton Beach Smart Lift iron. I love the lift, but also the iron is great for quilters because it has the option to stay on and not turn off automatically.

Just wanted to add a postscript here: after a couple of weeks of heavy use - boy oh boy do I wish I did this years ago. Ironing has never been easier and it's even (gasp

) FUN!

Just love your new ironing board. Thanks for the instructions. And, your pincushion is adorable. I've been in a group that we exchange and it's nice to see new ideas.
