Guest guest Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 The following is from a quilting newsletter that I receive: IRONING RECIPE Joanne Reider was in my String Quilting class in Reading, Pennsylvania a few months back. As many readers who are former students know, I usually iron everybody's strips in the String class, at least until my arm falls off. Well, I commented that Joanne's fabric smelled delightful. I found myself actually looking forward to ironing her strips. Here's why: she fills her iron with Vodka! No kidding. Her recipe: for every gallon of distilled water add 4 ounces of cheap vodka and 25 drops of pure lavender oil. I have since forgotten if the vodka keeps the lavender suspended in the solution or it's the other way around. If you find that too perplexing, have a sip of the vodka and you won't care as much. Ditto if you're worrying about the solution harming your iron. I can testify that the fumes are delightful, even ironing the same fabric a second time.
