12 Days of Needful Things…Day 3!

12 Days of Xmas Ornaments 3DAY 3 STEAM STATION-BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND

Ok…many of you asked for this one back…and because I WANT you all to have one… I am listening…Now we make so little on this iron especially when it on sale BUT really we must all have one. So the business profitability rules are thrown out on this one…I would probably quit quilting if I lost my steam station…its that critical…especially for wool appliqué…when I say lots of steam…I believe this is the only product that can deliver megga steam!!!

M_41003_976846I have one at home, two at the studio…I do not want to iron with a regular iron ever again…I hate filling the water…and I do not have to do it much with this iron… This iron has immediate steam and LOTS of it!!! It has a trigger like a gun for steam..press the trigger massive steam overload…It has a tank to hold a lots of water…sole plate is filled with steam holes everywhere…If you iron has 12 steam holes around the arc it’s not enough steam for wool….Here is the write up from the manufacturer…

“Continuous high powered steam makes this steam station ideal for everyday ironing or special projects. It has the patented Microsteam 400 strainless-steel soleplate for perfect steam distribution. The precision tip reaches difficult areas like collars, seams, and around buttons. Extra large continuous anytime fill water tank holds 33 ounces for up to 1-1/2 hours of ironing. 1800 watts equals fast heat up that is ready in 3 minutes. It also has vertical steam that is ideal for removing wrinkles from hanging garments, drapes and for smoothing and shaping sewing projects. Extra long 6 foot steam cord and extra long 12 foot power cord. No Auto Off.”

I tried to load a video…and after an hour of trying I quit soooo….The CA store has a couple in the classroom, if you stop in ask for a demo…If your in WI come to my studio if you want to see it in action…we always have it on!!!  If you can’t make it which most of you can’t hopefully some will reply if they have one and you’ll have to trust us all that we would die without our steam stations!!! I would love to sell a bunch of these and give one away!!!   Click here to order your life changing IRON.

You might have to do what we do…on the way out of your sewing room you may need to post a sign… IMG_4775The shortest day of the year was yesterday…everyday now is starting to be longer…I so dislike the short days…I start my day at somewhere around 4 give or take a half hour…I drive in the dark to go workout…I drive home after work and it’s dark again…even when I’m in CA its dark at 5pm…and it warm..it’s so odd for me…When it warm in WI it’s light for a long time!!! IMG_4763Last night Gramma and Big Papa went along with Jace and his Mommy and Daddy to see Santa…IMG_4766He was in such a good mood until he was with Santa…then the crying started…I managed to get somewhat of a pic before the tears came down…Don’t we just have the cutest Santa!!! As soon as he was back in Momma’s arms all was right in the world and we had a wonderful meal together…

Please leave a quick short comment today…I know we all busy…for a chance to win this baby…There are over 1000 views on these posts…but only around 200 comments…so your chance to win is pretty good!!

PLEASE remember to put HOLD on your ORDER in the COMMENT section…not on this blog comment…Sorry…I don’t work at the shop…I forward them when I see it but I don’t want them to get shipped, if I miss it!!

Have a good day…I have to get my CA package out today!!! So my kids get presents from WI too!!!

    What a wonderful time with Jace. How fun! I have the steam station. Kinda funny, we got a new tv which lead to a new Blu-ray (yes….I’m old and have not kept up with technology!) I had a back surgery in April and spent my recovery time messing around exploring and found your You Tube videos. I absolutely loved the one about your favorite notions! You do a wonderful job of sharing the best tips and tricks. I think I ended up with almost all if not all of the items you shared! Thank you, thank you, thank you for what you design and share. I use mine in my sewing area however, I like the iron so much I wouldn’t mind having a second for our laundry room.

    I would love this iron but more than that I want to give it to my daughter who does a lot of wool. You are her inspiration and she does beautiful work. Seeing her the first time in your booth was something I won’t forgot. We spent her 30th birthday at your retreat house and you came and gave her a BD treat. Yup, that is what I would do with it. Merry Christmas Lisa.

    We have two grandsons. One likes Santa and one doesn’t even want to go near him. And it’s the older one that wants to steer clear. Wouldn’t you just love to know what they are thinking when you see their little minds at work. Grandchildren are truly a blessing.

    Wow that iron looks amazing!!! BTW your new lake home looks amazing as well.

    That steam iron is the best! I had a chance to use it at a class I took…awesome. I don’t know how inefficient my iron was until I used the steam station.

    The iron looks fabulous too.

    The steam station is at the top of my Christmas list! After my kids safe travels here and world peace. Isn’t it funny all the different reactions to Santa our babies have. My 2 little Tennessee grandkids are polar opposites. 2 1/2 year old big brother is gumpy and sad and 13 month old little brother is happy and smiley. He told his Mama “Santa makes me sad”. So he called Grama to tell me what he wanted for Christmas : )

    Thanks so much for the information about the iron. I seem to go through one a year and I haven’t had ANY luck on finding one that meets the needs of a quilter so I’ve added this one to my ‘iron list’ ;o)

    Gonna have to get one of these irons. I’ve had a lot of irons during my quilting years and none of them hold up to what we put them through. If you recommend this, that’s good enough for me. My Santa’s list is getting quite long!

    So busy yesterday I could not comment. I am today too. I do not get much time to sew. I still work full time, don’t have any kids at home, but am busier than ever. I took up a healthy life style 8 years ago…and I am up at 4:30 going to the gym at least 5 days a week. I am pretty tired at night so do not get to sew much in the evening. I plan to change that in 2016, not the healthy part but the sewing part. 30 minutes to an hour 3 nights a week should work. I will never get my projects done. I really have gotten into wool over the last few years. Lisa I have at least 5 or more of your wool projects to finish and to start. LOL! I love the hand work.

    I guess the Steam Station is every quilter’s dream — I know it is mine. I have a Rowenta that I have used for several years but I do notice I refill the water chamber very frequently when doing wool appliqué. I remember many fun visits with Santa with my children. It is so good that you were able to take the time from your busy schedule to enjoy that outing! These early years pass so quickly — you don’t want to miss any of it!

    I rearranged my sewing room recently and ended up with an extra ironing station–that has no iron and my regular ironing station–classic ironing board has two irons–one from Walmart (gets hot, but is wimpy) and the other from a thrift store, that gets so hot it will boil the water inside. I use that one for super duty jobs–carefully! LOL! So a true, nice iron would be awesome! Thank you and Merry Christmas!

    Oh how I would love to have such a nice iron! My iron is okay but I have to constantly keep filling it. If I want to iron downstairs (i.e., clothing, then have to tote the iron back and forth).

    Gotta love the smiles those little ones bring to the Holidays…..even when they’re crying! For those of us not close to our loved ones, a peak into your family is just the thing to bring a smile to me.
    I do some wool appliqué; but mostly, I need heavy steam for my raw edge appliqué art work. This also requires a heavy amount of steam to be successful. I have never seen this iron but trust in what you say about the products you carry and use……..I’ll put it on Santa’s list. Maybe he’ll hear me!!

    How exciting…a chance to win that fabulous iron! Thank you!
    Just yesterday Bill said he was sad that we did not have little ones around at Christmas. Ours are all teenagers now and while it is wonderful, it is kinda sad that we do not get to see Christmas through the eyes of little children. Enjoy your Jace as they grow us far too quickly. He will be so much fun to watch. Merry Christmas!!

Now I am also thinking at my age getting routine steam bath facials may help my look, when I am busy quilting and don’t take time to put on makeup! What do you think, Lisa? It must be working for you, because you don’t look old enough to be the grandma to that cutie patootie! 🙂 Merry Christmas to you and yours! PS. You wouldn’t have to worry about me, I ALWAYS turn my iron off when I leave the room. Kristy

    I purchased the mini Rowenta iron a few years ago during the 12 days of needful things. Unfortunately it stopped heating all at once after I used it for about a year. It worked wonderfully when it worked. I’m a bit cautious about spending so much for fear this may happen again. I think the iron is a German manufacturer but the one I had was outsourced to China. Will keep this on my “wish list” for now. I have found a LOT of great deals over the years during this event. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas.

    I just had to write you about the cut-out cookies …
    For years we had a great recipe for cut-out sugar cookies that used half butter, and half lard. After the local locker stopped rendering yard, we were out of luck! The pre-packaged lard from the grocery store just didn’t work, and no other recipe was the same. Then, along came your recipe! Perfection! I made a batch and took them out to my parents at their farm. Dad ate three immediately … so that is a sure sign of success! Thank you so much for sharing the recipe … and for bringing cut-out sugar cookies back into our lives! Happy Holidays!

    Here is what I do to remember the iron is on…it is on a surge suppressor with a clip on light over the ironing board. Light on Iron on! One press of the button on the surge supressor lights off Iron off. And I love the clip on light over the ironing board. Makes it a great place to take photos as well!

    I hate that my iron is constantly turning off and I have to wait until it heats up again to finish what I am working on. I also have to fiddle with it to get a good head of steam. This iron sounds like the answer to my problems.

    Just mixed up your cookie recipe. The batter tastes yummy! I’m a pie maker and use lard, so I didn’t know they made butter flavored crisco:) You were lucky to get your little one on Santa’s lap. I would have been sitting on his lap holding my baby. They still don’t like to get to close to Santa. It’s true what you say about a good iron. When I use the iron at my local quilt shop, then go home and use mine, my poor little iron is so whimpy and sad. Then I priced it and I was whimpy and sad. With myself and two daughters, who are active in 4H, this would be perfect, especially as my family’s quilt challenge for 2016 is applique! Whoever wins will be a lucky quilter. Can’t wait to make cookies tomorrow.

    Oh Lisa I’m soooooooo happy your offering this AHHHHHMAZING iron at a great price again this year!!! Forgive me but at first (last year) I didn’t think I needed another iron; but that was before I tried it at PG-CA, after all I thought I had a decent iron with steam and there were still so many PG kits I had to buy… how WRONG I was, yes I freely admit that I was wrong this iron is the very best and as soon as I hit post comment I’m popping over to the site to order it! In my humble opinion this iron is just as important as a good sewing machine! Thank you thank you thank you for the great discount!

    I need to add this to my Christmas list! I am so tired of buying new irons, even multiple Rowena irons, due to build up of appliqué glue. Now that I have been using SAS2 lite, I don’t have the build up, but I need lots of steam to stick the pieces down. You also don’t know when one of those little brown liquid splotches will creep out. Thanks for the offer. Pam

    I sure do get tired of filling my iron! Mine gets a lot of use because I insist on lightly pressing hubby’s knit shirts that he wears to work….I know, I’m fussy though he tries to talk me out of it. Lately he’s decided to wear chambray shirts on weekends & they are crumpled when they come out of the dryer. This iron would be great to have, though not affordable right now.

    Sure wish I lived by one of your stores….what delightful eye candy & inspiration!

I love your needful things ideas!!!!!
