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!

This is really looking great! Your fabric mix is so bright and cheery.
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!
the colours are so beautiful and bright!
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.
Thank you, Chitra, the white, I think, shows up the colors well.
The colours definitely create a happy feeling!
Your blocks are looking great! Love these!
