My AccuQuilt

So, ignore the fact I am sitting in my jammies, just focus on the wonderful blessing that my bloggie friend Dayna sent me...an AccuQuilt Go Baby.

Today was the first time I even got to hold it, so I made my granddaughter snap a quick picture, I am so excited & will probably open it next week.

Yeah, I know most of you couln't stand the suspense, however, on the week-ends I get to come home, I have so much to do, I don't get a chance to quilt, so I will wait!

Dayna, however, didn't stop there, she blessed with this amazing tumbler die to go with it!

While I have no place or time to quilt during my training right now, I am working on a very small needle point project, but haven't finished it yet.

I can't wait to use my new Go Baby & this just gives me more incentive to get rid of some of the old fabric I have had in my stash and buy some new.

Wow! I want to quilt, I want to cut, I want to order more dies...in due time I know I will get this take care of!

I am so blessed to have Dayna in my life, she has not only been a blessing in this way, she encourages me, she prays for me and she keeps me grounded in my faith. All the while going through her own personal things & you wouldn't know it!

Thanks Dayna! Okay...now when is the next sale at the fabric shop?

Another Chance to Win a Go Baby...

So many of us want to win one of these wonderful tools and yet, many of us cannot justify spending this kind of money in todays economic times. That is where AccuQuilt has just been amazing & they seem to be really doing their best to get one of these into so many of our hands by allowing others to review them and then give them away.

Head on over to Aunt Polly's Porch for your chance to win . I have been very blessed with others letting me know where these giveaways are and each time I try to share them with you. I am thinking about just having a side bar note with the ones I discover.

Hope over to Aunt Polly's and tell her the Quilting Ranny sent you and good luck to all of us and as always, I want someone I know to win one of these.

Also, I hear The Slice is starting to get the word out on their new product which I am hearing great things about especially when it comes to letters (making personalized quilts) I think this would be another great tool I would have to win!

What are you waiting for? Aunt Polly is calling!

I Really Need A Sizzix or AccuQuilt

Many of you have seen my quilting closet, but I don't think I post my space in the basement very much if at all. So, here it is...to the left is an old sewing table (the one with plant on it) and when it is open, I have a piece of plywood I use so my sewing machine won't fall through. It is perfect for many of the larger quilts and free motion quilting I do.

My bolt of Warm and Natural batting stands next to my large oak file cabinet that holds lots of files, but the 3rd drawer down, holds my quilting patterns, greeting cards, newspaper clippings of things I want to make in the future or crafty ideas.

On the table is the fabric that Linda from Abby Mays fabric shop sent me for the Schneider family of Wisconsin who lost their home to a tornado earlier in the year. There are 120 5 1/2" squares that need to be cut into 4 triangles each! Hello Sizzix and Accuquilt, where are you?? I keep signing up to win an Accuquilt, but so far no luck, but then, all of us want one of these amazing things so we can quilt quicker!

Here is a close up of the stacked squares that will begin being triangulated later today. I love the colors and the fabric and I know the brightness will give this family hope.

If anyone of you out there know of any blogs that are having giveaways for a Sizzix or Accuquilt, please let me know and as always, I will keep you all posted when I find them as well.
