This is the third Rowenta iron I have owned. The cord to the one I was using frayed. I had to keep shaking it to keep it on--plus, I'm sure that was a dangerous situation. So I tossed it and bought this one last week.
I can't remember what happened to my first Rowenta, which I got in the late 80s or early 90s. I don't still have it. But I know it never stopped steaming. That's why I love a Rowenta. They never clog up and stop steaming, and they use plain tap water.
I picked up my Nancy Drew reading quilt from Lena yesterday. Her quilting is great, as usual. Meandering lines in red quilting thread. I left off Daniel's rainbow I Spy quilt to be quilted. Lena promised to have it quilted by late August.
I've been standing around in my sewing room this morning trying to decide what to work on. At first I thought I would make some more Granny Square blocks, then I saw a UFO that I really want to finish. Then Is saw a stack of tumbler blocks that I got in the scrap swap I recently took part in and decided I'd start a cuddle quilt with them. Then I decided I couldn't work on any of it until I straighten up my sewing room. Then I saw the computer and decided I'd blog. Attention deficit disorder? Who? Me?
And now I'm remembering that I have to go to the grocery store to pick up a few items that we're out of. All that other stuff will get done--eventually.
Bye now.

What a hoot, but I SO understand all that comes to mind when perusing my sewing room. In psychiatric terms it's called "flight of ideas" but I call it normal.
Add to your list of possible choices make/sew binding on Nancy Drew! My ND quilt still languishes due to my indecision about another border v. a quilt that's tooooooo big.
Hope your neck of the woods is cooler than it is here.
Hugs!

Love your blog it makes me feel so normal.i go in my sewing room and I say, oh I remember this. Like old friends. Then I move on to something completely different. Love quilting and all it brings.

I finally gave up on Rowenta irons. Not sure how many I've had - maybe 3-4 - but they all end up leaking, and I didn't have them all that long. For the price they charge, they certainly should last a long time. Now I just go for the cheap Shark, and they last forever. The main thing I look for are the steam holes and how they are shaped. Are the edges sloped or sharp? The sharp ones will catch on those corners of fabric and cause it to wrinkle, which is very frustrating. Hope your new one works for you for a very long time.

I just bought the same iron... I love Rowenta irons. They heat up niceand they provide enough steam. I just need to remind myself to empty out the water after I use it. Glad you are feeling better.
