Did I happen to mention that I spent too much money at the AQS Lancaster Quilt Show last week… Well I did… spend too much that is!
I got a Martelli Mat set – I’ve been a Martelli Cutter Lover for a long time and the set came with their heavy duty double sided mat (it is lined on the other side as well with a purple background), a non-skid ruler (not shown) a cutter and a 5 pack of blades. I am loving this mat!!
I have got no less than 6 small plastic bins with leftovers from projects… I hope to use this AccuQuilt Go Cutter to put a dent in all those odd pieces of fabric.
I renewed my AQS membership and the goody bag contained a small pair of embroidery scissors, then I picked up a pair of curved and straight Havel Scissors (buy one get one free!), I bought an ironing board cover that will fit the big ironing surface I made and an iron shoe – suppose to be that nothing sticks to them and they make ironing better, I found a cool little curved ruler from a designer from Easthampton, MA, I found 3 interesting patterns to try out, I picked up a bunch of fabric for a project, I found a nifty device called a strip stick and a device that’s suppose to make sewing long strips easier (we shall see), and I picked up a book from an Amish writer.
I’ll let you know what I think about some of these things as I try them out…
Nice to see you back and looks like you found some neat new items to play...oops! No, I mean to work with. Enjoy sewing and keep us posted.....Gail
ReplyDeleteI am waiting to hear the reviews. I want to know about the yellow mat as it seems too bright for my eyes. I want to thank you for picking me up to go and see everyone in PA. It was nice to see all of them.
ReplyDeleteI never found the ironing board cover, maybe at Hersey in July.
