Episode 226 In Which I Have a Pressing Station 9-24-24

Lookie what I made! Here’s my new pressing station—a basic portable folding table with adjustable height legs topped with a padded sheet of plywood. I described how I made it in the episode, but I was basing mine on several different Youtube and blog tutorials of variations of the idea. (Pardon the overflowing trash can! That’ll get emptied soon, I promise.)

Just for kicks n’ giggles, here’s my Accuquilt “station” (although I’m not sure it can rightly be called a station since it’s not a self-contained unit with all the dies right at hand). My embroidery supplies now live beneath it.

I also mention in the episode that I was working on a heart block. Here she is. Very basic, easy pattern. The background fabric was provided but we pulled our own scraps—one set was to be reds (which I chose to do), and the other is multicolored, if I recall. I only took one block to do since I knew I was traveling quite a bit. Most people are making two.
