My new obsession, quilting, requires that I partake in one of
my least favorite chores.....
I R O N I N G. 😛😜
After a few quilts, I realized it was
way past time to replace
Irma B. Decker, who was probably at least as old as
Sassy Singer 25+years. My husband,
wore a white long sleeve dress shirt, tie and suit to work 5 days all year for about
29 years. I took them to be professionally washed and starched
for about 6 months. After weeks and weeks of starching,
they were too stiff to even button.
So I started washing and ironing them.
The last 4 years of his career his employer
relaxed the dress code, slacks with a buttoned collared short shirt or golf shirt (no Tee Shirts).
Last week I grabbed a fist full of Bed Bath and Beyond coupons
and off I went to shop for a new Quilting Companion.
Introducing Irene B. Decker on the left
and her great Aunty Irma B. Decker on the right
Great Aunty Irma still works so she will be donated along with
a few other household items.
Irene has a retractable tail...which thrills me to no end.
As you will see below, Irene has more steam holes, a smart steam dial,
auto clean and a wider heel rest (thanks to her retractable cord).
AND Irene is a light weight in spite of her lanky look.
I'm pretty sure Irene and I will have a long lasting friendship...
hopefully she will be as dependable as her Great Aunty Irma.
Irene has been very busy since she arrived.
Starting this week you will be seeing several completed projects and there will be more to come.
