so, i went in plugged in the new iron (which sucks!) and finished my block
it turned out ok i guess-
hubby is getting pretty funny about these- when i finished it and came out he again (like last week) grabbed it and checked it out totally- up close & personal---
i told him " you know- there are no quilt police."
his reply?
"well maybe i'll just be the first"
told him many have tried- we impeach them quick
and about the worries i caused people to have---please do remember- the iron i burned up today was OLD! and inexpensive too (like 20 years old-old) so don't get too worried- just be aware of smells and them not working like they used to.
