Ms Lily

Here she is..... the newest girl in the lazy girl family..... her pattern is available for pre order and should be released in a couple weeks........



stuff..... and stuff I've learned

I've been busy over the last two weeks but not much to show... been working on bindings and quiltings and stuff............hopefully in another week or so I'll have new stuff to show... did a skinny runner and a snowman hanging that need to be quilted and bound... also been working on yoyo's for my mini quilts for xmas.........

Now anyone who knows me knows I'm somewhat of a ruler whore...........I love rulers.... regular rulers... specialty rulers.... etc...... I found a new ruler up in Lollys in Shipshewanna last week... it's called a double diamond and its pretty cool... Like any specialty ruler it has limitations but i think it can produce some fun gifts.... I'll post a pic below.......

Now I've also learned that when you use goo gone to remove sticky tape from your ruler.. it will also eat the paint on the numbers! One of my NEW 12"
QID rulers is now missing a few lines in the center but I can redraw them and it'll be fine.... I just added that to the Never armor-all your steering wheel note!

I did make an new lazy girl bag this week.... a new runaround bag. Hubby and I are heading to the tall ships next weekend and this fabric was perfect...and speaking of Lazy girl.... a NEW bag is coming out and I got to test it!!! Her name is Lily and she's beautiful... she's round and curvy and soft and pleated and just the right size for trips to the zoo and the museum....... my pics of her can be seen on LG's facebook page and when I get back to my other computer I'll post them here and on flickr.... she's just a wonderful lil girl!!

I'm behind on barn blocks and on my golden thimblebarn... I'm still hoping to be all caught up by the end of august.... so we'll see lol I need another marathon weekend!!!

Have a great week!!
