I only use an iron when quilting. My husband irons his own shirts and... jeans (!!??!) because he is convinced that I can only iron flat things.

Every once in a while he asks me if it's ok if he borrows the ironing board. Translated, that means "is it ok to remove the fabric from the ironing board so I can use it?" Sometimes it's not terribly convenient, but I don't want to discourage him!

I mentioned asking her mother to use an iron for a craft project and I learned that her daughter has never seen an iron. Hmmm...I may need to fix this! She is turning 6-years old in September. I might need to find some simple projects to introduce her to sewing, etc.
