Alternative to Big Board-by Harriet

You never know your friends hidden talents until you express your wants! I had a Big Board ironing board but it was so heavy and I needed my ironing board up underneath. So, I ended up not using it. Talking to my friend, I expressed how I would love to have a smaller board the length of my cutting table. Next thing I know she is at my door with a piece of cut wood and a staple gun. In fifteen minutes I had a new board. An hour later, another friend came and picked up her new ( to her) Big Board!
When I'm not using it, it leans against the wall, and even fits behind the door!

Very pretty and you could pin things to it when it is standing up too.

Very pretty. I love my ironing boards but nothing pretty as yours. Just plain canvas
or twill. I have a collection from 24" square to 30" x 8ft. The latest and biggest
is for glue basting.
