A MOMENT OF SILENCE PLEASE!!

This used to be my iron.........it has been gone for the last week. Can I have a moment of silence..........

No....I did not throw it across the room in a fit of anger.....If I was going to throw something, it would be my computer....this internet is driving me nutzzzzz but....it is working sporatically this morning and I grab a chance whenever it decides to work.

So....can you all tell me, how many irons I have gone through in the last 3 years since I have been living in Amerika Samoa? The one who guesses first will get a little something in the mail.





As for this picture, it is bindings for 4 quilts that I have just quilted. My job today, if I chose to accept it is to put the bindings on the quilts. Any volunteers? Rumi from Lucky Frog was the first one to guess right. Thanks a bunch for commenting.......

My iron has decided to slowly die also. My steam button is stuck in the down position. I love to steam my fabrics and blocks so I miss it terribly. I will probably have to go out shopping next week for a new one.

I guess you might have gone through 3-5 irons in the past 3 years so I will go all the way and say 5!

Terry said...

Sorry about your iron! May it rest in peace! LOL I take it you've gone through a bunch of irons...I'll say five. Am I even close? LOL

Cyndi said...

ROFL!!!! I am so sorry about your iron... my iron and I shall observe a moment of silence (no steam!) for you!

XOXO,

Cyndi

My guess is 6. Is it the electricity or just irons in general? I have three I don't use because they leak all over tarnation so I'm going to get rid of them in a garage sale....a sale for leaky irons :)

Just JaiCi's Crafts said...

I'm going to say that you went through 4 irons in 3 years...... :)

Barb, you are so funny! Irons can be tricky things. I think I've had 3 in the 27+ years I've been married, and my current Black & Decker heavy metal one is just about my favorite. I think I paid $14 for it brand new. I sure hope you have good luck finding a good iron you can love!

So how many irons have you gone through in the past 3 years?

Love all that beautiful binding!

Micki said...

Well, if you are like me...3. I love gadgets of any kind, but sometimes they can drive you crazy.

I love my iron, you can't have mine but you can have one of the other 4 that I have in the closet. There is nothing like a good iron.

Jane's Fabrics and Quilts said...

Well let's see, if you are like me it is about 2 a year but I bet you are more careful, so I will guess 5, yep 5!

Betsy said...

you poor thing. I'm going to say 4.
I have had a Rowenta now for 3 years and so far so good, though my $6.00 cheapee walmart iron produces much better steam.

SewCalGal said...

I'd be taking a total guess, as to how many irons you have gone thru while in AS. So, I'll simply say it is far more than normal. But then you get far more quilts and items made than the normal person too!
I guess from your post you didn't buy an extra iron to take back to AS with you? Hymm. Time to come back to the US and do some shopping (with me?).

Beeshebags said...

As a stab in the dark, I'm guessing it was 5 irons. Hugs Naomi

Beeshebags said...

Or maybe I should have said it was 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15, 16,17,18,19,20 or 20+ lol Ok, I'll stop cheating now! Hugs Naomi

Barb said...

sorry for your loss.
I've gone through too many to count in the past 20 years!
I'm very hard on them and I'm not sure why or how.
