And the colors in your pillows are just beautiful!<br />That is a bummer about your Oliso. If you are in the market for a new iron, I can tell you that I love my iron and it's the best I've ever worked with. It doesn't turn off as fast as most others and you can iron in both directions. It's a Panasonic NI-W810CS Multi-Directional Steam/Dry Iron with Ceramic Soleplate. <br />How great to have a rainy weekend in southern California!Lara B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15135992633781076268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791304731827660383.post-69323747110074800322016-12-03T15:22:30.786-08:002016-12-03T15:22:30.786-08:00Your words are awesome....my iron bit the dust a f...Your words are awesome....my iron bit the dust a few months ago as well...lost control of its bowels too.....good that you had a stand byBarbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06622919657309096651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791304731827660383.post-21337048533036136532016-12-01T16:20:02.586-08:002016-12-01T16:20:02.586-08:00Sorry about your iron Mary.

Because of paper piecing, I am pretty hard on irons too. The cushion cover is beautiful, Mary. I love the combination of grey and red and the quilting is perfect! I like the addition of spacer blocks in your Spelling Bee and the sashing definitely made the words stand out a lot more. Looks beautiful!!<br /><br />-SomaSoma @ inkTorrents.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17820728287018415555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791304731827660383.post-52737464599622431162016-11-28T12:42:26.127-08:002016-11-28T12:42:26.127-08:00Cutest little pillow!

I've worn out several irons so I keep my cheap iron on the shelf just in case. It never seams to quit! Even my Reliable iron decided to sputter and die...that was a sad day. My purple Oliso is still happy, so I'll keep my fingers crossed. Beautiful pillow next to that cute bird pillow!

The company replaced it only to have a different problem with the new iron less than 3 months after receiving it. I now use an inexpensive no steam iron and I use a spritz water bottle and it works perfectly. I didn't think I've every become a "no steam" girl but I'm a convert now.

My favorite iron, not too expensive, and even comes with a carrying case for classes on the go is my Panasonic. I bought it for it's pointy tip, and I think I would cry if it broke. I have had it for almost 4 years...so it's time is coming, but it is my favorite iron. It looks like you had your fair share of ironing putting that quilt top together. I do like it with the borders Mary.
