X's and O's New Row Added, 'True Grips' Product Review....

Three X's across now, liberated and scrappy.

True Grips keep my ruler steady while cutting.

New turquoise batik added to the mix.


Happy Weekend from the Shire!!
New Hampshire that is. 

This week just flew by. We are still helping my daughter's family after her third baby. There's a lot to do in keeping a family and home running smooth.
I still get a little time in to work on quilts and stitching. I think it's more obsession than work as some of you can relate to.

This week I picked up a pack of 'True Grips' and a new ruler from my favorite local quilt shop, Pine Tree Quilt Shop. The 'True Grips' keep my ruler from slipping while cutting, I highly recommend them. They aren't paying me to say that either, they really work well.

While there I picked up a turquoise fat quarter because it's not only one of my favorite colors it's also going to look great in the mix.

One of my blogger/quilt friends, Maureen @ Mystic Quilter also claims turquoise as 'one' of her favorite colors, visit her and find out more.


I hope you're having a wonderful fall weekend and that you're getting work done on your projects. As always I look forward to stopping in and seeing what you're up to!

That beautiful turquoise batik has a nice pattern, too. True Grips will keep the cutting correct and your fingers safe.

That turquoise will work beautifully, and it makes me smile that you are adding a tiny bit more pattern into the mix with all those plains!

Thanks, Pamela, your second set of purple hexagons is a great mix too.

Thank you, Queenie. Safe fingers are a good thing.

Yes, it's not easy for me to stick to all solids, batiks have that organic look that I'm irresistibly drawn to.

Janie said...

Thank you, Chitra, the white, I think, shows up the colors well.
