    You've made us all more aware of what our iron is up to.....!

    That's scary!

    That's the reason I have my iron on a serge protector in a socket that's connected to the wall switch. A lamp is attached also. If the lamp is on so is the iron. If the lamp is off, so is the iron. Then I check it twice before I leave the room!

    Glad you are safe.

    I do the same Sillysusan! I also never leave the kitchen when I boil eggs or put the teapot on the stove.

    Oops. I can't quilt if I don't have an iron. You'll have to replace it quickly.
