A Pressing Matter and Fabric Acquisition

Last Friday the hubby and I went up to the Twin Cities so I could do some shopping. Our JoAnns is in the moving sale stage and so there aren't having the sales according to the ads. And there was some stuff on sale that I needed wanted, so we went there right after lunch. Plus SR Harris fabric outlet is always a draw for me;)  Here is what followed me home.  Pretty yellows for my sunflower runners, more of my favorite reds and the green for more shamrock runners(I did run out of that one). And the rest because I thought my supply of those specifics were low. This was the acquisition part of the trip.


The pressing matter was picking up this Kallax unit from IKEA.  Currently I have other brands of cubes for my cutting station and another for my Accuquilt station and I love them. This Kallax is going to be the base of my new pressing station:)  Years ago hubby made me a big board to put over my ironing board and it has served me very well. But I want/need more storage and so I got to looking on Pinterest and saw people using these cubes under their big boards. I am so excited and can't wait to get this all fixed.  We bought some dollies with casters from Harbor Freight and are going to mount them to the cube. Then I can roll it around as it will have to sit in front of my counters and I have stuff under the counters I need to get at from time to time. 



And to keep you up to date on my actually quilting, two more shamrock runners were made this week.

It's Shamrock Time

 After coming up with this Valentine design I decided it would be a great one for a shamrock also.  


It's DrEAMI don't cha think!  DrEAMi! (Drop Everything And Make it!), I'll be linking up with Sandra at MMM quilts at the end of the month.  


This green was so hard to photograph, I tried everything to get close to the real color. 



I think this last photo has the closest to the real color.   I used my Gnome table runner pattern and substituted a shamrock.
