Early Mom’s Day

You know you’re a dedicated quilter…. when you ask for an iron as a gift. 

Isn’t she pretty?

And I shall call her Missy. 😜

I’ve been annoyed for awhile at how little heat my current iron produces, so I did some research and found Chi Professional irons. 

Reviews were good… it reaches and holds a high temperature… is reliable… and doesn’t spit water when you try to steam iron (which I seldom do.)

Best of all? The cost was fairly reasonable. Call me cheap frugal but there’s no way I’m paying $200 for an iron, no matter how pretty or popular it is. (I’ve asked fellow quilters how they like their Oliso irons and almost every one started the conversation with “well, it’s not working right now, but…” Not a ringing endorsement.)
