♫Hey, Hey, Paula…♪

…yes, Paula (no blog…but likes to Lurk…♪♫do do- do do♪…(Jaw’s music) sent me this info regarding “Quilts from Grandmother’s Garden”…Paula wasn’t happy with the price of this book so she went right to the horse’s mouth…to the publisher of the "Quilts from Grandmother's Flower Garden". Remember this is the book that costs a zillion dollars on Amazon…

Here is a copy of the reply that she received~(Now if you are sick of reading about this book then skip the blue part! :o)

Unfortunately this is a supply and demand issue, so less expensive copies of this now-rare book are not readily available.  However, we are working as fast as we can to get a digital version up on our website. It will cost half of the original price for the paperback book.  We plan to have the e-book available around the end of November.

Just go to our website around that date and search for EB753 or for the title.  Once you've purchased a digital download from us, you have the option of storing it on your computer, CD, or flash drive, and referring to it there, or printing the patterns as you need them, or printing the entire book.

Thank you for your interest in our products.

Yours,

So there you go!  Now onto the GOOD PART! Paula also sent me pictures of some of the things that she has been working on- so I thought I would share them with YOU, the Blogging World!

This is a  sampler that Paula made in a quilting class.  Just lovely with all kinds of quilting techniques to learn!  A+ to Paula!

This next quilt is called “Lightning Strike”…isn’t it wonderful!!  Such lovely colours and it is perfect with her Mission style headboard!

Just look at this quilting…I want to be able to quilt like this when I grow up!  Sheer perfection!

And last but certainly not least, a gorgeous Disappearing Nine Patch…

Thanks you so much Bloggless Paula for sharing your wonderful quilts!  I think you need to start your own blog…!  Come on, Paula…you know you wanna! 

Results from FRIDAY NIGHT SEW IN~

We had an early dinner last night so that I could get a good start on my sewing projects.  I fired up the GO! and cut out a million Quarter Square Triangles from some left over scraps.  I need to make some table toppers as gifts.  I know this doesn’t look like very many triangles but this is a big containers…it’s an old lasagna container and it holds a lot..

..see it even has a lid…Someone in Blogland told us how she saves her old cake/dinner trays for storing projects…and she was right!!  They are perfect..Reduce, Re-Use, Recycle…it’s a good thing! 

One of the best features of this GO! die is that before you cut the out the triangles you pair the focal fabric with the back ground fabric (right sides together) so that your triangles are all matched up for you.  All you need to do is pick up the two triangles and sew them together…mindless sewing!

Which is what I did…

This is how far I got before I ‘put the lid’ on my project!

And while I sewed…look what was happening outside!!  YIKES!

  No that’s not batting….

Hey, this is the West Coast…it rarely snows here!!  Remember the Olympics…not a flake fell…they were bringing in snow by the truck load!!

I think it’s time for this Snowbird to head south!!

 

Have a Super ?Snowy? Saturday and Happy Quilting!~P
