I have looked all over and can't find another iron like the small Rowenta. :(<br />I like the granny square blocks, very nice! I aqauired some real feed sack fabrics that belonged to my grandmother and my aunt and was wondering what I will do with them. I was thinking of donating them to someone who does quilt repairs but I might cut a portion from each and make some granny squares.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04552891913167046603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2745598838662491175.post-16870081156936418602012-04-02T18:21:59.590-03:002012-04-02T18:21:59.590-03:00Your granny square blocks are looking so wonderful...Your granny square blocks are looking so wonderful, you did well to complete them in good time!

Personally, I think you might want to push the snazzy new iron off onto the floor so you can "break it in." Pardon the pun; couldn't resist. My Rowenta has done its fair share of dives off the ironing board. It leaks some, but still heats up fine. I am amazed at how durable they are and wonder if the new ones can take the same abuse.Tarynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03455236914872943577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2745598838662491175.post-55239608217685302192012-03-31T14:11:13.339-03:002012-03-31T14:11:13.339-03:00Such a pretty Spring quilt!

Almost done and needing something fun and simple to do for a break. I am like you in that I always need to change something. I feel like that makes it more mine than if I were to copy someone else entirely. I think if I designed something I would really enjoy seeing the ideas others would have for it.fernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17574438827016571137noreply@blogger.com
