Useful tips Paul. I use a similar iron when I go to retreats. It's comfortable on the hand. I also love the Omnigrid folding book which opens to a cutting mat on one side and an ironing pad on the other. They come in 3 sizes, and work well right at your sewing station. Looking forward to seeing you next month in Vermont. Just 2 1/2 weeks away!

Thank you Paul for this week's series of blogs. I especially liked the white baby Quilt with the various sized triangles. Today's post for quilters on the go was also very informative. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

This is amazing! We're likely buying a trailer next year and I wondered how I'd fit it all in! Thanks for the great tips!
