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!
Ok, here is a dull "the" in soft greys. I think it works with "RULES." Now the real fun begins.. making the remaining letters completely unique.

Nice grey letters........I have a grey quilt playing around in my head. It won't play outside yet !

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.
