Paper piecing

I love paper piecing. . .I'm not perfect at it, I have issues making the points all match up, but I'm working on it!

Later I will "quilt" this put black binding on it, along with a strip of fabric to hang it with, and I shall hang it next to my eiffel tower
The Eiffel Tower is actually a paper pieced design I made myself.  It's not perfect, but it works for me :)

Fat Quarter Shop

I am on twitter, and on Tuesday nights there are "Talkin' Tuesdays" There is more information about it here.   It's great, it's a bunch of quilters getting together and chatting!  What's even cooler is that there are giveaways!

And I actually won last week!  And I won a $25 gift certificate to the fat quarter shop!! I just received my package today!  SO exciting!!


This is "Jolly Pack" like a charm pack. . .I am not sure what to do with it.  They are all polka dots.  I know one friend who would like it!  But they are all different colors. . .Suggestions would be appreciated!


 And these are the yardages I bought.  I have NO clue what I am going to do with them (like most of my stash ;) )

And this is slighty different :) this is a Christmas present I got.  Well 2 actually.  It's hard to see, but it's a "shape cut" ruler.  It has slots in it to cut multiple things, or strips without having to move a ruler! Here is a picture and a link:

It's pretty darn cool!  I want to cut fabric strips and strips and strips!!

The other part was a gift card, which I used to buy a new cutting mat! It's so nice to use!

I have other things to post, but later :p I've been to busy sewing to really take a break and post, but maybe tomorrow, since it's my last school day before going back to school (does that make sense?! [I'm still on break this week])
