"Sewing Room Re-do Inspiration"

 Hey quilter's...hope your week is off to a great start. I was thrilled when I received my package from Missouri Star Quilt Company with my "Press On" Iron Toss fabric designed by J. Wecker Frisch for Riley Blake Designs. If you're an antique iron lover or all things vintage notions collector like me then you will fall in love with this fabric. I have an "inspiration area" in my sewing room and my "peg board" needed some love. I've been wanting to cover it with fabric but didn't find the right fabric. Then MSQC recently came out with the "Press On" collection & I was so inspired. I order it right away because I knew it would sell quickly. In fact Mrs. Jenny designed a super adorable quilt using this collection. You can view MSQC website for her pattern & tutorial. My link upper right on home page will take you directly to site. I love this fabric...it compliments my inpiration area perfectly. A few of my old irons are displayed and I even used my iron with a missing handle to prop Jenny Doans inspirational book "Quilting through Life."  A great inspirational book of families stories and history. I might add this would make a great gift for any occassion. Well this is part of my series..."Back 2 School...Sewing Room Re-do" SEW if you have a peg board that needs a little attention check out MSQC for fabric inspiration. This is such a simple project...no sewing...would make a great dorm gift for a college student too :-) I did use Pellon Sheerweight fusible interfacing for a smooth finish on fabric & I used my Olga 45mm rotary cutter for precise cutting. All products can be found on Missouri Star Quilt Comapany's website. I for one need "inspiration" to keep me focused...pics of my daughter & grandson...MSQC quotes "Stitch Happens & Keep Calm & Quilt On" and of course Chuck :-) I hope you enjoy this project and check back soon for more fun & easy projects. Enjoy!

Blessed Quilting from My Home to Yours,
