Ironing Board Cover Swap

A few months ago Leonie of Sunshine x3 hosted an Ironing Board Cover Swap

And with an ironing board cover looking like this, is it any surprise I signed up immediately . . .

My partner was friend and fellow blogger 

Fiona from Foot on the Treadle 

I reached into my stash and found fabric

I followed on line tutorials

I reached out to friends for advice

The ironing board cover was sent to try me

3 broken safety pins & 4 types of elastic later

I had completed an ironing board cover

I posted it off to Fiona and waited

It fitted AND she loved it - double win

Yesterday a parcel arrived from Fiona

I opened it in hurried anticipation 

 And was not disappointed 

Look at my gorgeous new ironing board cover complete with brand new padding

Patchwork detail

Fiona remembered how much I love this fabric 

I'd brought some from her quilting and online store More Than Fabric earlier in the year

And the best thing - my ironing board cover matches my sewing room stool!

Thank you Leonie for hosting the Ironing Board Cover swap 

and 

Thank you Fiona for such a wonderful Ironing Board Cover

which is a million times better than my $2 shop cover
