ON A ROLL! Jelly Roll that is.

I'm cutting, cutting, cutting with my GO cutter and on a roll ..............

Here's a few things I've been working on.

Yup!  Those are blocks cut with the Drunkard's Path new die for my GO cutter......curved piecing and all.   There's so many different layouts you can do with the Drunkard's Path pattern, and I love them all.  I've made several DP quilts in the past using the traditional way, but this is so much faster and easier.

 

I just love the Drunkard's Path die and am so glad to have the GO cutter to save me time & making these the easy way.  

I'm just teasing you with these two pictures and don't have the quilt finished yet.  Don't ya just love it when bloggers do this and don't show you the finish??  I will.........I will..........I promise.


Some of my other cutting with my GO cutter for my ETSY store......

Here's the link for these Bubble Gum Jelly Rolls..just click HERE.

and the link for the Blueberry Blues  jelly roll too!  

I've got other colors cut and ready to list, but then I hit a snag.  My camera recently broke and I haven't bought a new one yet.  I'm using a borrowed one right now and the software/editing/storing for the pictures is totally different than mine.  It's taking me longer to learn about it and get my new pictures finished for my new listings......yikes! 

Yes, I'm on a roll.......just gotta get it rolling faster.   Good excuse, don't you agree?? 

Thanks for stopping by. 

GIVEAWAY WINNER! 2 1/2" squares - 100 of 'em!

We have a winner from my giveaway for the AccuQuilt Bloggers Blog Hop! 

Whoa!  Wait a minute.....you won't find out so fast and as easy as me just saying who won.   You ought to know me by now and know that I'm GOing to share about my GO cutter and what I do with it..right?  So, you have to look at all these pictures and read all this chatter before you find out who won my giveaway.  Hey......Oops...now,  no peeking ahead of time.

I do not like to waste one little bit of fabric as you see by my two huge boxes of scraps.  Well, what to do with them?

I like to cut some of them into strips for string quilt blocks ....(a never ending on-GOing project)

And all of the little, little pieces are cut with my GO using the Value Die 2 1/2" square.

What fun it is to see all the different prints, colors, styles all stacked up and ready to be used for a new  special little dolly quilt!

My two Kitty models love this red one I made for them...it GOes with their pretty little red satin hairbows!  These different small dolly quilts are always available for sale in my ETSY store and I have several different ones.

Ahhhhhhh....but you're still waiting to hear who won the big pile of 100 of these little 2 1/2" squares......right?

Ok....ok...stop twisting my arm....that hurts.  "Uncle".  My niece picked #35 and it is.......

  Marilyn who said  "I'm following already and I love the GO! baby.  It is definitely on my Christmas list.  The little squares would come in handy as my son came home yesterday with a wish list for his class and I got the idea to make little doll quilts to donate to his class store.  How fun to have the fabric already cut out for them.  I know what I'll be doing this weekend :)  Thanks for the great blog hop.  I've learned a lot."

Marilyn has a blog  Stash Manicure .   Her latest blog talked about what do you do with all of that "ugly" fabric.  It's a fun read.  GO follow her.

Thanks to everyone who entered  and be sure to stay tuned and keep checking everyday.........there's GOing to be another one this week. 

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!

Old Hens or Young Chicks?? Tied Together Quilt bee at its best!

Here's just a few "old hens" behaving like "young chicks"........We had a 75th Birthday Girl  celebration at our quilt bee and we just had to surprise her with goodies & chocolate cake!    If you look close, you'll see a fat quarter with some RV sayings on it.  Yes, this lady drives her own rig and belongs to the Women RVers National Group. 
Last year she drove her rig to Alaska.

Now if you count those candles, there's only 16 of 'em on that luscious gooey cake.  We thought 16 was a good age for our "guest of honor"!   

We really do a little sewing at our Tied Together Bee meetings.  If you look close, you can see some sewing machines!  Table sure is messy and this time not with fabric pieces!

I know you're wondering what this picture is all about, huh?  We are the "Tied Together Bee", so every once in a while we do this little ritual where we each tie a strip of fabric in a couple loops and tie our strip to the fabric strip on our right and on our left.  You have to admit, it's crazy, but it's meaningful to us and keeps us "Tied Together"!
