What I learned today . . .
I learned why you don't set up your ironing board over your nice new area rug (if your area rugs are wool, you may put your ironing boards wherever you please). For the rest of us -- who are making do with polyester knockoffs -- thou shalt not set up your ironing board over your rug.
I don't sew. I don't iron. But I hate sewing more than I hate ironing. I am cuciraphobic. Yes, I made that word up because the great list of phobias does not include a sewing phobia. I digress. I hate sewing more than ironing, yet curtains have to be made for the addition: 13 sets, some of them have sheers. Enter the magic of StitchWitchery.
Cut. Iron small flap. Insert white stuff into flap. Iron again. Even I can do this!
However, if your iron is resting on the ironing board and the puppy jostles the ironing board, as puppies are wont to do, you will get a lovely iron-shaped pattern melted into your rug.
Even more reason to hate ironing.

Oh, Poor Suzanne! Lucky the puppy didn't get hurt! The scar on the rug will remind you every day the of the heroic action you undertook by attempting to iron. Here's to hiring a maid!

Suzanne:
It is the "toast falling butter side down" principle; the best advise I share with you is to avoid ironing at all costs :o)

Yes, Cathy, I'm with you. I iron so rarely that I had to ask my honey where the iron was.
Yeah to the maid idea. Mine just does the floors. With six housepets, that keeps her plenty busy.
I am thinking you are right in not acually sending fabric for the quilts. We'll have to work something out for you though.
I will shamelessly admit that I like to iron. And no! this is not an invitation for everyone to send me their ironing. Sorry.
