This is certainly easier than the good old days when I helped my mother sew the new covers to the ironing board! 8/10/09 2:02 PM

I especially like the thickness of the quilting fabric - the cotton covers are always so thin! You've inspired me to dig out my home dec ironing board stash patterns! So pretty! 9/2/09 11:09 PM
