HOUSTON QUILT MARKET 2009

I’ve barely unpacked my bags from China, and here I am heading off again, this time to Houston for our annual pilgrimage. I’ve still got a pretty good dose of jet lag, but I’m sure that by next week the cobwebs in my head will be a little fainter.

China was great by the way. We met some amazing people saw some cool things, and of course we had food to die for. If you’re ever in Hong Kong, and you love crab, do yourself a favor and head straight for Under Bridge Spicy Crab. It is not to be missed. There must have been a pound of garlic with our crab. It was incredible.

So next week it’s Houston. If anyone out there knows of a great restaurant in Houston, I’d love to hear about it (no steak houses please). If you’re attending the show, we will have our wonderful new Digital Velocity V100 iron on display, and our full line-up of fabric care products. We’d love to see you, so don’t be shy.

HOW TO IRON A DRESS SHIRT

Here’s another great “how-to” video done by Real Simple Magazine. A great watch if you have a couple of spare minutes and want to learn a few shirt ironing tricks. I’m sure I’ve seen that iron somewhere before!

HOW TO IRON PANTS

Stumbled upon a great “how-to” video done by Real Simple magazine. A great watch if you have a couple of spare minutes and want to learn a few ironing tricks. Pretty cool iron too!

WE’RE IN GQ MAGAZINE

GQ Magazine April 2009


I was delighted to pick up this months GQ Magazine (okay, having images of Kim Kardashian didn’t hurt) to discover a well thought out article on the joys of ironing.Yes, I said ironing.

Seems that the modern male might be taught a thing or two about looking after their most precious Armani’s and Hugo Bosses. The article, written by Mark Healy, hits the nail right on the head, “beyond the environmental factors, the real reason you should be washing and ironing your shirts is that they’re your shirts”. Hallelujah!

Okay, as an iron manufacturer we’re a little biased (a review of our Digital Velocity V95 is on the same page) but if I can take my company hat off for a minute, doesn’t it make sense that ironing should join other movements du jour, like the slow cooking sensation? Isn’t it time to take back those every day tasks that our pre-recession brains deemed as too petty. Maybe we can learn something from these tough times after all.

Heck, Mr. Healy even suggests ironing while watching the football game. Throw in a beer or two and I’m sure we could enlist some willing guys.
