Planning Ahead or Not?

I love to plan my quilting projects ahead of time.

We aren't GOing to talk about how cold it is today all over the USA (even though I've had to GO outside two times already to change the outside feral cats water bucket from ice to water).   We are expecting a high of 32 today and the wind is blowing.....so feels like 10.  Yikes!  That's really cold for South Texas. Our local weatherman said we can expect some snow late Thursday.  Whoa!  Nellie!  Wait a minute.  Snow in San Antonio, Tx?  That's what they are saying, so I might be talking about snow in a couple more days, instead of using my GO cutter.

Now, where was I?  Ok...yes, now I remember......we are talking about planning ahead.

Have I told you  I love my GO cutter??  If you don't know the answer to that question then you haven't been reading my blog for the last 6 months, have you?  Nothing's more fun than cutting with it, (well maybe eating some chocolate) so that's what I did yesterday.  (I cut... and ate some chocolate.)  

Don't you just love the combo of chocolate brown & bright pinks?  mmmmh! looks like Valentine Candy.

Thanks to the 2 1/2" strip die, I can cut many, many small squares too!

Yup!  I'm gonna need a bunch of these.

The ideas are just dancing around in my head  how I'm GOing to be using these small squares, and I'm planning ahead for when I get some extra sewing time.

Drats!  I promised myself I'd finish a UFO every month and February is here.  Ok, I'll put the "chocolate & pink" squares away for now. 

Am I really planning ahead or did I just want to use my GO??   I'll never tell.

CREATING A STORM CLOUD!

Didn't realize it had been so long since my last entry & pictures, so thought I'd show ya'll why.

It's been "STORMING" A LOT in my sewing room!

This wooden fence board sign was a gift from a dear quilting friend for Christmas several years ago. She made one for each of us in our Tied Together Bee. I have mine hanging from a decorative shelf my brother-in-law made for me when he remodeled my sewing room.

My cutting table is a full size door he permanently attached to the wall.....I love how LARGE it is...with shelving on one end. I can create lots of "STORMS " before I have to clean it off.

Here's one of my new bag creations that helped form the "STORM" cloud! This one is COMPLETELY quilted double fabric in bright turquoise and has 3 roomy compartments in the inside & one outside pocket for cell phone & keys. So useful with just one handle. It's for sale in my Ebay store.

Stay tuned for more storm clouds forming, & many more bags that cause them!
