Show & Tell Sunday

got your napkin ready to wipe the drool?

i saved all my birthday money and went to joann's

look at this loot of fabric

i got most all of them to make the wall hanging below

a new rotary cutter with a pinking blade

i thought this little gadget was interesting

it's a olfa touch knife

the blade only stays out when you push that grey button forward

quilting gloves

i'm not a glove fan

but i have wondered if these will help me when quilting

we'll see

i saved the best purchase for last

if you have this die, did you know the stem blade will also made vase

i'm excited to play with this

i'm ashamed to say, i've slept the day away

i just hope i can sleep tonight as well

i needed the sleep, lots on my mind

2 1/2" Strip Cutter Tutorial using your GO.

i showed you a quilt using the 2 1/2" strip cutter the other day

i thought i'd show you a little more in depth how i made it

here i have some white scraps, really looks like a scrap, huh?

sometimes i get in a hurry and don't cut as straight as i should or could

i'll work on that

this die cuts three strips

since this scrap was so narrow, i thought i'd try to get one strip out of it

here we go...get to cranking that handle

i even let e do it, he loved it

starting through, if you really listen you can hear the blades going into the fabric

i love that part!

almost done..........

keep cranking

gives you muscles

and here is your 2 1/2" strip

i already got the scrap ends off so you could see the perfect, crisp strip

repeat process again with your other choice of fabrics

fat quarters work perfect for this project

here are my two fabric choices

all cut and ready to sew together

this goes together really fast

here we have several strips sewed together

sew as big as you want

add batting, backing and binding

and you have a finished quilt using your 2 1/2" strip cutter

and your GO machine

any questions?

let me know......
