Why So Long?

New Ironing Board Surface 003 (440x330)

I have looked in awe and been in awe of these ironing board extensions when they were showcased in quilt shops for several years. Why did I put this off? All I needed to do was fly it past Dennis and here we are not but five days later and I feel like I have a whole new outlook on getting projects laid out and ready for ironing or sewing. When what we have been struggling with becomes the final straw . . . action is taken. It is just a bit above waist high . . . easy on the back with the size being 56″ x 24″. We took our time and all three layers needed for it to have some loft in the finial surface came out wrinkle free. I couldn’t handle the stapler, but I sure could stretch the fabrics for Dennis to plunk a stable in. A good old Mary Proctor product that was new in 1962 is now the foundation of a 2016 update.   Not many items make it 54 years with many more years now to be enjoyed.  Fantastic.
