So Much Available
Cheyenne’s quilt top is all all about her track, field and cross country endeavors in college. Memories. When I think of what my Mom went through to make memories for us via her sewing machine . . . I can surely imagine. The pile of unruly t-shirts could now be totally transformed into pieces of fabric that lay straight and are ready to be stitched without puckering. The varied types of stabilizers available can make the most challenging project a lot of fun. I did have one oops this afternoon. Hot irons and stabilizers need to know their boundaries. I have been working around the hole in my ironing board cover for several weeks. After today I will need to get serious about replacing it . . . or, I may just make a make-shift one out of muslin that I have. I can recall my Mom’s ironing board having such covers, layer upon layer as one after another was weakened with weekly laundry that found its way to the ironing board. There was no such thing as permanent press . . . and didn’t Elvera and I know it.
