I have a new iron downstairs from one of the big warehouse box stores (for ironing DH's shirts - woo hoo - not so much)
I need a new iron upstairs in the studio - the one I have (that used to be downstairs) leaks and sputters and creaks ... I need to visit T-A-R-J-AAAAAA-Y during my lunch hour (especially since the sun is shining today).
p.s. Very glad the black bits work (I also think I know more about why you gravitate to whites for your backgrounds...)
Glad you got the iron sorted out, Lynne, but I did like the notion - tabled over on Millie's blog - that she could heat herself up in her electric cat cup and then sit on your seams to flatten them. You know - if you'd been willing to be patient, I think it could have worked!
I think your "the" in greys works beautifully. It gives the impression of metallic, stiff and severe - just like rules! Very apt.
Glad you got the new iron. I do wish someone would make one just for quilters. Mine only seem to last about a year before they just up and croak. Always at the wrong time - which is when I'm using it!
My name is Lynne Tyler and I live in New England in the USA. I've been sewing since 5th grade and making quilts since college. I love working with abstract shapes and color. I love strip piecing. I'm trained as an artist, and I love the graphic quality of quilts. I'd rather take the time to make something beautiful than buy something ugly. My companion is my tuxedo cat, Millie, who has her own blog at darlingmillie.blogspot.com.

I like it. It works so much better than the brighter version -- definitely downplays "rules".
Pleased about the iron. I've got an old Rowenta that was a present. Very heavy and is brilliant for opening up seams. I'm dreading the day it dies.
I'm loving your "new look". Black is a wonderful colour for backgrounds.
