Have fun and good luck to all!

Come away and "FLY WITH ME" and my GO!

Here's a little glimpse of what I've been doing with my GO cutter!

It's so easy to make Flying Geese using my new GO cutter.  I used the 2 1/2" square die for cutting the "WINGS"  and the 2 1/2" strip cutter to cut the "GEESE".    Wow! that thing is sure fun and makes doing a bunch of these a breeze and easy peasy! 

Now, I've got to show you this picture of what I'm working on right now, but you can't see it until I'm finished.  I'm going to be using the Flying Geese! 

If you'd like to have a GO cutter for yourself, just go to Pat's Blog here:

Have you seen the BOM from Fabric N Quilts??

If you haven't seen these Block of the Month kits out of 30's Reproduction prints, you just have to GO and take a look @ them......then sign up to start getting them.  These are from a shop in TN called Fabrics n Quilts.  Just click on my title to GO there.   You're not GOing to believe the price either!  It's the best deal for BOM's you are GOing to find anywhere! 

Yup!  that's right.......she cuts these with her GO cutter from AccuQuilt and they are cut perfect and SEW much fun to SEW them up......easy, pretty......and everything! 

Am I in love with my GO cutter........for sure!  Thanks again, AccuQuilt!   I have been using it everyday to cut more strips for jelly rolls and more squares for charm squares all available in my Etsy shop.

Here's a few of the ones I've completed!

I'm a big fan of the reproduction prints and these fabrics are some of the prettiest ones I've seen.  You will love this shop's Block the Month kits and she has good prices on yardage too. 

Well....what are you waiting for???  GO see them.

Am I a stripper? Nope, I'M A CUTTING MANIAC!

I hope  my title of this post got your attention! 

Yesterday was our quilt bee, so I just had to take my GO cutter from AccuQuilt to show all the gals (and took just a few of my fabrics) so everyone could play with it!   

First of all, we cut one of the girls' Jelly Rolls into 320  2 1/2"  squares.  She wants to make a quilt like my SEA BREEZES http://bit.ly/c5pLKv quilt that uses 2 1/2" squares.  We had those 320 squares cut in no time by laying the jelly roll strips perpindicular folded back & forth on the 2 1/2" strip die....turn...turn...turn..the handle.  Voila!  Done!  

I'm so glad I took all those fabrics...(tee hee... & let the girls "practice" )...and magically they are now 2 1/2"  strips!  The other little pile on the RH side is my group (so far) of some scraps cut into HST (half square triangles) and 2 1/2" squares.

I LOVE MY GO cutter from AccuQuilt!

PINK LEMONADE BABY QUILT! 1st GO cutter quilt!

I have such GREAT NEWS!  My sister, fabricartist21, won the GO cutter from AccuQuilt on yesterday's Friday Fun on AccuQuilt's Facebook page.  She is so excited, she couldn't GO to sleep last night.  If you are not following AccuQuilt on Facebook, here's the link:  http://bit.ly/bP4um8  Every Friday they give away a Free GO Cutter......GO sign up to follow them.  Also, if you sign up for their email newsletter, you have a chance to win $250 gift certificate.  WOW!  What a company! 

Here's my first quilt I finished by cutting all the fabrics using my GO cutter from AccuQuilt!  This was a pattern/project sheet from them that is included with the die set that comes with the GO.  There were lots and lots of little triangles (which I normally do not like to sew).....AND they were easy to sew and points matched up wonderfully. 

And here's a close up so you can see the fabrics & quilting a bit better.

I also just joined the bloggers group  for quilters  who have an AccuQuilt GO cutter.  I put a link on my sidebar if you own a GO and want to join us.

Happy July 4th Weekend to everyone!

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.
