While escaping the city for a quiet quilt retreat at LaSalle Retreat Center in Wildwood, this Admin decided to test out the new wool ironing mats available in the shop. This mat from New Zealand is a full 60 inches AND has a grid marked on it. The grid really helped with keeping my rows together for Poppa Elli and keeping them straight as I pressed. I checked the table underneath and there was NO heat transfer. Poppa Elli is scheduled for a class July 29th at the shop. It’s a fun jelly roll friendly project for Christmas. July is the perfect time to start those holiday projects.
