SEA BREEZES QUILT vs Alex

When I'm making a new quilt, sometimes the fabrics, colors or design speaks to me with a name...even before it is finished.    The whole time I was working on this one, I kept thinking of the sights, sounds and smells of the ocean, air, waves, beaches. 

I didn't realize that Alex (hurricane) was going to hit the Gulf Coast this week or I might have named this quilt  something else. 

I named her SEA BREEZES and she's for sale in my Etsy store.  Sure enjoyed working with all of these beautiful fabrics in blues and greens....from Moda's Nouveau fabric line; 224 small squares. 

FUN!  FUN!  FUN!  love fabrics, love quilts, love to sew!

Doesn't it just say SEA BREEZES to you too?

GO competes with Rotary Cutter. WINS! Hands Down!

The GO is  at work again,  from Splitting Stitches blog.  Great competition between the GO and using a Rotary Cutter.....both on time and fabric waste.   You can decide for yourself.  Just click on the title for the link.

That solves it for me today.  I'm going to go cut up some fat quarters!

Thanks again AccuQuilt.

My "BABY' is here and she's GORGEOUS!

I'm so sorry I haven't been posting since winning the GO cutter from AccuQuilt.   I re-injured my right hand/arm again and please don't ask me how I did it....it's too stupid.  Years ago I fell and had to have surgery on the tendons/ligaments on the top of my forearm, and every once in a while it likes to remind me about it.  Well, when that happens I just can't use it for a couple weeks, and sometimes have to go to Physical Therapy.   That's my story and I'm sticking to it!  

My new "baby" is here and is sew BEAUTIFUL! 

You didn't think I'd just show you a picture of the cardboard box now...did you?  Isn't she the most BEAUTIFUL BABY you've ever seen?  

Thank you AccuQuilt! 

and thank you Bejeweled Quilts by Barb for such a fun giveaway!

Due to my arm acting up and needing some attention (sounds just like a kid, doesn't it?) my sister helped me unpack it, and she actually got to try it out first.  I did get to do a couple cranks with my left hand/arm just so "BABY" knew she was mine, not my sisters.

Let me tell you ...........this is a fabulous machine, and is wonderful for anyone who has injured hands/arms or Rheumatoid Arthritis.  It is very easy to use, and I cut out (turning the crank handle left handed)  all the pieces for this GO! for it Quilt FREE Project  using the Value Die that comes with the GO; 4 1/2" square, 2 1/2" square, and 2" half square triangles. 

Drats!  Now, I wish I would have used real bright batiks fabric!  This is so light and pale.  You can't see by the picture very well, but the points matched great!  In the next few days this will turn into a quilt instead of just a quilt top!

YES! I WON THE GO CUTTER FROM ACCUQUILT!

I posted about this yesterday and must have lost it ........."Out there somewhere"...........

Yay!  I won the GO cutter from AccuQuilt through Bejeweled Barb's blog.   I am sooooo excited, I can hardly wait to get it.  They also gave me my choice of 3 dies, so I chose all 3 of the strip cutter ones.  Naturally, something "forced" me to order some other dies...(just don't tell my bank account.  Let it find out for itself.)  Hurry up  Brown Truck! The final vote count for me was 1963 which just happens to be the year my oldest son was born......coincidence or ???  (click on my title of this post to see the tally)

Here's a couple sneak peaks at the quilt I'm working on.  I want to get it finished before the GO comes, or it will never get finished.

Also,  I've sure been  busy chasing my fabrics all over the house.  They keep opening the closet doors, pushing out, sliding off the shelves and running all over everywhere, trying to hide!  They heard me say GO cutter and now they are all afraid of getting cut up into strips, tumblers, blocks, & appliques.   

Don't worry, they can't do it anymore 'cause I put a lock on both my fabric closet doors.

Oops...gotta run.  I hear some other fabrics prying open the lids on all my plastic bins .....and I've only got about 25 of 'em.  Chase 'em down, round 'em up........rope 'em........... and tie 'em....tape the lids shut.

Until next time.
