Hexie of the Week

Every Monday at Cyndi's blog you can find a new hexagon embroidered ornament. You all know how I love birds so I just had to make this one. I did mine just little different from her's. I appliqued the white part on instead of tacking it down with little loops. Her newest ones for this week are two little owls.

It Came!

As many of you already know I won a GO! fabric cutter by AccuQuilt. When I got the email from Sherri I really was in shock because so many bloggers were trying to win one. I just never expected it but I am so grateful to be the new owner of one of these cutters. Thanks so much Sherri and Accuquilt.
And thank you all for your Congratulations. News travels fast in blogland. Now I am going to read my owners manual. I had to call the company because I was missing a manual but Jane, who was the operator, was very nice and sent me a pdf file of the manual and I just printed one off at home. I am also going to watch the videos at AccuQuilt to see what I might learn. So hopefully next week I will have some things to share with you about the cutter.

ps I turned off the "allow comments" only because most of you know about this. I still have to answer all the comments from last post.

Bragging!

I would like to take this post to brag on my husband. We had a tree come down on our property and my husband told my #2 son that he would make him a coffee table and end tables for a wedding present. For you regular readers you might remember my son got married in July.
My husband used old hand tools to make this table. The top has two slabs put together to make the table that wide. Where the legs come up into the top my husband took little pieces of dark walnut wood to put into the legs. The shelf on the bottom is a piece that my son bought at Lowes Hardware store.
Even though this view of the table looks rough, the top is smooth as glass. My son and DIL are so proud of the table. They just love it. I am pretty proud of my husband because this is the first
piece of furniture he has made. Now he needs to finish the end tables.

Last Block

The last block is finished from Linen Closet Quilts BOM. Dawn has the first block out for her new BOM. It is called Folk Art Tribute.
Unfortunately this block will go in the UFO pile for a while so that I can work on Christmas gifts. It will be here before we know it. Kaaren says there are 110 days until Christmas. Eeekkk! She has a cute needle case tutorial on her blog that would make a great gift.
