Sewing on a Nascar weekend

I am following the Nascar race.

 And I have my trusty water bottle at my side.

It says "Put Your Foot Down and QUILT!"

How appropriate!



This is a bonus quilt made from leftovers of the Wind It Up! fabric.

This was from the quilt made for Great Grandson #2.

 More Project Linus quilts made this weekend.

This one has the pink 9-patches in the lead.

 This one has the blue 9-patch in the lead.

These finish at 36" X 45"...perfect size for Project Linus.

 I changed my "anti scale cartridge" in my Reliable Digital Velocity iron. It was very easy to do. But I do not know if I needed to do it. It is behaving oddly. The burst of steam feature that is triggered by movement is not working. I have to push the steam button off and then back on to get the steam happening.
Any ideas what is going on? This iron was great at the beginning. And a few friends have bought these on my personal recommendation. Ouch! If I was wrong.
