It is a sad, sad day. Hot & Steamy I, one of two identical irons I’ve had for YEARS, has finally died. They weren’t expensive. They didn’t develop leaks. They got hot and maintained their temperature. The auto shut off feature kicked in at a decent interval and then heated right back up.

They got their names when another quilter at a sew day exclaimed, “Wow, this iron is hot AND steamy.”  You can imagine where the conversations went from there  🙂  She went out with a sizzle….I suspected the end was coming as the plug had started getting very hot.  I hope Hot & Steamy II lives on forever.  Because, irons, even expensive ones, aren’t made like they used to be……….
