So on to the announcement! I put all of your numbers into random number generator and in the blink of an eye it spit out # 11 . So in this case, spitting is good if you are # 11 who happens to be: captainsharmie who said...
So congratulations! I love that name! Sounds like a superhero - :) I'll get these out to you on Tuesday!
On the sewing front, not much to report, but I have been cutting up a storm. I cut out the pieces for our daughter's quilt. The largest piece is 3 1/2 x 5 and there are a lot of 1" strips...a lot for this quilt which are not pictured:
And since I have some new projects in the works, I figured I might as well cut some for them as well. If I handled a piece of fabric and it was red, cream, or blue, I also cut a 5" strip for a QOV zig zag quilt. That stack of neutrals is over 6" high. I think I'll be making more than one!
If it was blue or brown, I cut another 5" for another zig zag quilt.
That left me with a really dull blade. I don't know why I always wait until my rotary blade is as dull as a butter knife because whenever I do replace the blade, I realize how nice it is to cut with a sharp blade.
Now that I've got lots cut, let's go sew!

Congrats to captainsharmie!! You're right, Karin, she must be a super hero!! Wow, girl, that is some cutting!! Can't wait to see the results!! You know, I've bribed with "good food" and fence building, but alas...just end up doing it myself!! LOL!! have a great Sunday and Memorial weekend! Blessings
i wish i was a superhero! i guess you could say i'm working on it.
thanks so much for the lovely win. these will be lovely for my kitchen.
what a pile of cuts! today I changed the blade of my rotary cutter for the first time... i didn't realize that the reason it didn't work properly anymore was the blade! today i cut a bunch of scrappy blocks down to size and it was such a blast. gotta remember to stock up on blades...
Whew! Keep that blade sharp. Congratulations to the winner. She is sure to enjoy those potholders.
Wow that is some cutting done! So looking forward to seeing what you make with all these.
COngrats to the winner!!
That is A LOT of cutting. You know that you can sharpen your blades by rolling them repeatedly over a folded piece of tinfoil? I wouldn't say they're "fresh from the store" sharp when you're done, but they do work much much much better.
Congratulation to captainsharmie!!!
Oh WOW - it looks like you were in the cutting mood. All pretty looking fabric!
