I'm so excited. I won a "travel iron" on E-bay:

Is that not the perfect iron for quilting? No steam holes!



Unfortunately this little beauty is stuck in Canada because their postal service is possibly going on strike.



Once I have this travel iron, my camping/quilting setup will be complete.

Oooh, I like the one with the travel case, although it looks like it would burn right through it!

I hope your iron arrives soon, Mardi!

Congratulations! It looks so.. I don't know, but if I was looking for an antique type of iron, it would be just like that. It's cute!!

Elena, who knows it's probably not antique, but with the color of that cord...

The postal strike is on hold right now so there's no reason why you shouldn't get your iron.

Another SQ (stupid question): why is the absence of steam holes good?

I didn't take any chances. I had a parcel from my Japanese quilting e-mail friend and I took it along to mail in the US when I went down yesterday for the quilt show. When the border attendent asked if I had anything that was going to remain in the US I told her a package to mail to Japan. She hadn't heard about the possible strike yet. I know they get really busy from all our traffic when Canada Post goes on strike.

The absence of steam holes means no catching the little corners of seams on the backs of anything, to drag them out of place and iron them into near permanence!!
