Show and Tell

First - thank you all for the condolences.  I just can't imagine what their families are going through at this most difficult time.

On to happier things... some show and tell!!  As you know (or don't know), Punkie was away for a bit last week which gave me some time to work on some sewing.

I got two more pillows done.  Well, 1 1/2.  The second one - the name is stitched out.  I just have to get into pillow form. This one is for my BFF's niece.  She loved the one I did for her cousin that she asked for one for herself.  I need to get it into the mail.


Next up - the 2nd and 3rd FQS BOM blocks.  CUTE!

block #3
I went back to cutting a quilt that I put aside months ago when I had all the swaps to work on and everything snowballed.

BUT

The GO! cutter craze is here and now I want to do something with that (my husband does too since he bought it for me).  Yes, I own the GO! and no, I haven't used it yet.  And yes, I've had it since Christmas.  But I DO have my reason for not using it yet.  After I received it as a Christmas gift from my loving husband, I went out a bought another die for it.  And then I measured the output I received from that die and was very disappointed.  Accurate it was not.  I spoke to the shop where the system and die were purchased and they too got the same results using one of the dies off their shelf.  LOOOONG story short, I was disappointed and bummed and just put the whole thing aside.  Now that I see everybody having so much fun with their GO!, I want in on the fun.  So I'm going to put my feelings aside and think up a project.  I think I know what I want to do.

That's all from me.

Enjoy your day!
Jen

  5. Your pillows are always so cute Jen. Thanks for the info about the Go. I'm not much of a gadget person and I've had trouble seeing the big attraction to the cutter -- seems like an awful lot of fabric wasteage to me (which drives me crazy). It would be nice to have something to quickly cut hexagons, but....

  6. First of all, so sad to hear about your friends, that is so sad as they were both quite young. It is hard losing a friend. Your projects are very nice...you'll think of something for the cutter soon.
