The border workbook

I really don't need quilting books, with the internet being as vast as it is, but I can't seem to help myself!! I had to buy one online!!!

I found a border I just loved (that I plan on using with in the next few months) but I coudl'nt find a pattern.  Well I came to find out that it was in the book "the border workbook" after debating with myself about it, I had a little money in my paypal account, so I decided to buy it!!


I am glad I did, there are SO many cool borders in there! it makes me want to finish quilts just to add a border to them ;)

Scrappy Quilt contest

If you click this image (which is a link) you can be entered to vote for the quilt contest of the week.  This one is scrappy, and I had the perfect quilt to submit!!

My favorite scrappy project I have made thus far!  A log cabin, with all the fabrics I have used in others quilts.  Every time I use it I can think about quilts that I have made for all the people I love :)  Of course for the contest I could only post one picture, but here I have a few others ;)

This is one layout I tried out (there are a lot of ways to lay it out!!)

Here is Pepé helping me decide on a layout

Here is the finished quit with the back.  It has some purple minky on it.

And the top on it's own.

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])
