go! cutter.

24 July 2010

go! cutter.

so the peeps over at accuquilt blessed me with my very own go! cutter.
{remember???}

well i've had some time to play with it...
& now it's time for a rachel-ish review.

go! cutter.

likes:
holy cow to cutting out a WHOLE quilt within a few minutes.
pieces are spot on precise. every. single. time.
a very fun, safe way to include your kiddos.
it's SO easy a caveman can do it.

dislikes:
fabric waste can happen if you aren't using your resourceful "a" game.
applique shapes need to be a bit bigger if you use needle turn method.
although the strip cutter is handy...i'm totally spoiled by moda precuts.

made with the go!

overall review:
i highly recommend scoring your own go! cutter.
especially if cutting fabric is your least fav part of quilting.

unfinished doll quilt stats:
size = 18" square
fabric = arabella by pat sloan for p&b textiles
tumbler die used.
critters die used.
2 1/2" strip die used.
{strips = not pictured.}


p.s. keep your eyes open...
i'm gonna give one of these bad boys to ONE lucky p.s. i quilt reader.
:O)

ambitious intentions.

14 July 2010

verna fabric wreath.

so i decided that i needed a "hand" project while we were on vaca.
i was ubber ambitious because i didn't have bindings to do.
{what?!?! NO bindings?!?! i know!!!}

my big ol' moda market bag included:
quilts for show & tell.
quilty magazines.
the makings for a fabric wreath.
& four charm packs with an acrylic hexie template.
{160 hexagons?!?! what the heck was i thinking?!?!}

so what did i actually get done???
not that much.

in my defense...
i did cut out 40 hexies.
& i had this wreath about 3/4 of the way done before we came home.
not too bad, right?!?!
{just say yes. it's good for my ego. ha.}

i finally finished the wreath yesterday.
it took me ALL day to take this pic.
darn camera. it HAS to go to geek squad.
*sigh*

but anyways...
i've only been wanting to get this wreath done since last november.
here i am 8 months later.
& it only takes few hours to make one.
can yall say SLACKER?!?!

i definitely heart this wreath.
& i'm thinking i need one for the baby's room.
wonder if i'll put it off for 8 months?!?!
:P

for those inquiring minds:
fabric = verna by kate spain for moda
pattern = fabric wreath tutorial.

today is the 1st day of summer camp for the 2010 tackle season. {go bulldogs.}
i'm behind on all things quilty. {and all things not-so-quilty.}
cable tv is the griffith source of entertainment until further notice. {no joke.}
i feel like i haven't slept in a week. {or two.}
my camera is totally on the fritz. {son-of-a-nutcracker.}

summertime.

02 July 2010

summertime.

yall know how it is...it's summertime.

kids wanna live outside sun up to sun down.
mouths & lips are dyed by extreme popsicle consumption.
playing in the rain.
every night = ice cream night.
over crowded beaches & pools.
sunscreen = the smell of the day.
sandwiches = the lunch of choice.
everything else in the world just ceases to exist.
*like my laptop & my sewing machine*

and now it's a holiday weekend.
so we'll times that list by at least 10. HA>

happy 4th of july weekend yall.
we'll catch up next week. promise.

p.s. to answer several emails at once...eclipse was amazing.
edward & jacob's banter totally made the movie.
just sayin'.
