Love the...Oh those little wool blocks are so sweet! Love the H blocks too especially with those I spy centers. I love running out of a particular fabric and having to improvise. After all, that is what they did in the old days! I have tried every iron out there and I have finally settled on a $12.00 Black and Decker. I bought two about 12 years ago thinking they wouldn't last. I just opened the new one last year so the first one lasted 11 years. I don't use steam so that may prolong its life, but I like it because it gets and stays hot and I just use a little spray water bottle. Works for me!Wendy Caton Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18122151466664580872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4655771233639274287.post-15854811125791511302018-09-04T03:13:13.484-07:002018-09-04T03:13:13.484-07:00The little flower basket is so cute!

They are all so different, then Benjamin popped up. I laughed. I never had a little iron so I can't help you here.

I don't really use it that often and don't put water in it...so it will probably last awhile, I hope. I make myself get up to use the iron so that I keep my body moving. It doesn't speed the quilting process much though.Lorishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14378229521840536213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4655771233639274287.post-65549653681605128092018-09-03T06:10:59.302-07:002018-09-03T06:10:59.302-07:00Love your handwork ... so far I've managed to ...Love your handwork ... so far I've managed to NOT get caught in the wool fever!

I had the small Rowenta iron which I used next to my sewing station. It caught fire while I was sitting next to it ... scared the heck out of me. Make sure you unplug after each use ...
