what was old is new again...
Back here I showed you my yearly ritual of changing my ironing board cover. the old one was a pale blue cotton that had all kinds of stains from ironing dyed fabric. Well, I threw it in the washing machine and wrapped it around a tin can with eucalyptus leaves, bark and oak leaves and am quite pleased with the result.
It will make a nice background for a stitched piece. It is a commercial fabric but it is real soft and easy to stitch through. I know that some of you were concerned that I was just going to throw it out...never would do that.

cloth looks great deanna...i see all kinds of faces and beasties in it. it will contribute nicely to you cave work. a nice range of color too. everytime i see some wonderfuly dyed cloth i keep wanting to make more...but i still haven't used the ones i've got...that's how i get disorganized! ha
Nice work Deanna. If I keep everything I would need a warehouse to put them in! I'm pleased every time I hear you are using eucalyptus leaves. Keep the used leaves and reuse them again. It works magic. Have a great day/night - Love Nat
Deanna, this is gorgeous. Who knew an ironing board cover had such character. Well done!
Deanna, what a fabulous background cloth you have now, and must be so satisfying to creatively reuse it.
The video makes one think -- some of the other videos that pop up with it look enticing, too. Thanks!
Oh Deanna that turned out beautifully marked. Look forward to the stitching.
Those tin cans have turned into quite a useful tool, and so easy to com by I'm thinking--This cloth is such a fine canvas for whatever you might devise too. I am headed over to watch the power of words (a topic after my own heart).
a fabulous idea, and it turned out well too.
deanna,
your scrim looks great it makes me want to run downtown and get some !
that is such a good idea...I never would have though of it. My ironing board covers go in the rubbish when they need changing...now I shall keep them and send them to you!!
O was wondering too.....any chance of a post on your different pins, they fascinate me every time you mention them...
this turned out beautifully! I can see how it will inspire wonderful stitching.
amazing what you got from an ironing board cover! I especially love the dots that showed up.
Wow! I would pay a lot of money for that beautiful bark-like cloth and to think that you did it with a tin can! I need to experiment more. NOt sure if mine would turn out the same...you seem to have the touch.
your cloth is great- that video made me teary.
Deanna...amazing...as usual.
Oh that looks like Vintage Bliss! I love the patina of old all over that...and yes, I do agree that it will serve as a most stunning background to any artistic creation!
Stop by if you can, I'm currently hosting a flash Giveaway which ends tomorrow. ....

Very interesting markings - I am looking forward to seeing what you do next!
Deanna, did you wrap the fabrics and bits round and then put them all in the washing machine, or have I misread that? fab results and great reuse of the cover mind you!
