What I use for doorstops are the solid cast iron irons that my mom heated up on the wood cook stove growing up. I can't imagine ironing with one of those heavy things. No wonder they called them sad irons! The cook stove I also still have, just waiting for a restoration job. I have often wondered what my Granny would think if she saw me go to a fabric store and drop $100+ for the fabric and notions to make a quilt when she made her quilts from leftovers of making her kids clothes and whatever she could scrape together. Boy the times have sure changed. For the better? Some days I say yes, other days I have my doubts.
