More Prepping and My Big Birthday Splurge


Today has been the quiet before our storm.  We will celebrate Thanksgiving Friday when Julia, two boys and one dog join us.  I carved out a few minutes to do some more prep work on my applique project as I don’t expect to be doing much machine work for a while.  I still have some more petals to prep and glue baste to the second stem, but I should have enough to keep me busy for a while.



…and yesterday my big birthday splurge arrived.  I unboxed it today rather than wait until “my” day on Saturday while we still have company.  Yep, it’s an Accuquilt Go.  They are on sale right now and I made the plunge.

Congrats. I love my go, I've had it for years. I recently used it for the sprouts quilt and lots of 1.5 inch strips.

Love your appliqué. So pretty.

Happy, happy birthday! I am so happy for you....and a little green with envy, as I want one of these I think. Please play with it and let me know if the $$ was worth it. I look forward to some new creations from you.

Happy Thanksgiving! I bought myself one a couple of years ago and used it a lot for the Winding Ways quilt. I'm ready to get out again to help cut up scraps that keep piling up! Think I'll investigate their big sale for new dies...
