A Funny Thing Happened in my Sewing Room....

I wanted to share with you something a little comical but needed to add a pretty photo while I was at it.

My family room which includes my silly Pinocchio collection on the right.

We have an old Santa suit that my FIL used to wear when the kids were little. I found this sign at a holiday boutique perfect to hang above it.

Remember this stuff from this post? It was a flop! From my last post you can see I've been working with wool and onsaburg. I tried ironing cotton last night and my iron wouldn't slide it was so grimy.
So, I looked for the Iron Clean. (I'm all about second chances) My iron was on high and it melted the sheet as soon as I put my iron to it. Lovely, more gunk on my iron.

I grabbed a strip of muslin and started running my iron over it (as per the directions on the side of my ironing board) and low and behold it not only took off the melted sheet but it also removed most of the grime from my iron!

 

Look what's left of the cleaning sheet! Not much, but look at what is left on the muslin...... The buildup on my iron. I doubt that was how it was supposed to work. LOL

I thought you guys would get a chuckle out of that since I had posted that it was such a flop.

Have a happy Weekend!

Iron Clean Review and Quilting

 I've finished hand quilting all the motifs on my Cherry Tree quilt! I have two blocks to quilt around the applique shapes then it is on to the background. (Border outlining  will be later)

I wanted to do this review but felt I had to put in a quilting photo. So now onto the review:

 

I picked this up at the PJ sale a week ago. I usually use the goo but this looked so much easier.  Some wool seems to make a huge mess on my iron which can transfer to my cotton fabric so I like to keep my iron as clean as possible.

 AFTER

I'm afraid this gets zero stars!

Not even a little black on the sheet. I watched the video before to make sure I was doing it correctly. They made it look like magic. Mo magic at my house!

Not much sewing going on at my house today. My nephews son was sick and they asked if I'd watch him today. I'm surprised at how good he has been. I'm really out of practice and figured he'd know how to pull one over on me. lol
