Patty the Quilt Lady has been using up her pinks. I decided I needed to make a couple of quilts for my nephew's kids. A boy and a girl. Yes, I decided on pink.So I cut some strips with the idea of making a herringbone, but at the last minute I decided I would just lay it out in squares since I didn't have large pieces. I ended up pulling fabric from my stash, which is fine, I need to use it all anyway, right?
I am working on piecing the back together and pulling some larger pieces. I had to stop and wait for a new iron.
The iron I bought 3 years ago on QVC was leaking. The leak has been growing in intensity and yesterday afternoon it was almost coming out as fast as I was adding it in! So we went to Walmart to snag a new one. Today I found that I hate the iron we bought. It has an auto turn off, you can't find one that doesn't these days. But the temp control jump to the lowest setting. Which meant that I had to click the button 6 times to get it back up to the cotton setting.
No way am I doing that for the rest of my life. I should never have let Frank choose it, even though I told him I wanted to make sure we got one with a dial rather than the electric grid. He went for the cheapest one.......$24.95.
Can you say.........new iron?
