New stuff ...again

 Got a few deliveries in the mail last week. Can never have too much fabric, or patterns, or anything to do with sewing. At least thats my way of thinking.  I have waited for this 15 piece set for a while .. It was alwasys out of stock.
worth the wait I caught a good sale.


Then I just couldn't resist this Elephant print I have collected elephants of many types since I was 5 years old .  Have well over 2000 at  last count. Don't know what I'll make with it yet . Probably a bag of some sort.

 Hoffman Bali Batic -Pink Lemonade FQ's



These are my faves of the bunch so far




My new  Elephant Print



 Next came the Popcorn the Bear Panel
He is now going to be the back side of my
granddaughter Jewell's quilt. I have been searching
for this panel  for a while. 
It was always out of stock or only in a kit ,which I didn't want.
She now loves Hello Kitty like her big sister's quilt in progress.
sooo she wants a Hello Kitty quilt too, but with the bear on the back.

 she actually thinks he is a pic of Her bear Bubba.

 ( she doesn't go anywhere with out him)

.

 



Popcorn the Bear Panel

The real Bubba Bear


Bubba used to be soft and furry like Popcorn ,
 but he has been so loved in the last 4 years
he has lost his color and most of his fur.

A great Idea 
 The story is not over yet. Hope it is not too boring .
 Last weekend  Jewell and her sister
 Autumn were spending the night.
Autumn had this "I have the best Idea Gramma, moment"
 She wants me to take the pics of her Doll  Jumppy Baby
(No clue why it has that name)
She wants me to put a pic of her doll that is now thread bare and raggedy
on the back of her quilt and a pic of Bubba on the back of her sisters quilt
. That way they will never forget them when they grow up.

Jumppy  Baby
after 7 years of love



Rosie & Jumppy Baby

Rosie is the spare I baught in case the other was ever lost. 
but she always knew the original one even before when they looked new.
 Can't fool a kid with a fake beloved toy . I thought it was a good idea ,
so I will put the pics on fabric and use them for their quilt labels.
She saw me make the pics for the wedding quilt so I guess thats
where the idea came from. .
Guess there is always hope one of my girls will take on the love of sewing .
  Hope you enjoyed my little story with 5 granddaughters there is
always a story and lots and lots of drama..... but I love every minute of it .well most of the time anyway.



A little play time.

Well since I've had my surgery and can't get much sewing done.
My son and family baught me this wonderful hammock to sit/lay in
and read or take a nap.
 It is fun and the soft canvas-like material is easy on my sore arm.
I still have to wear my imobilizer for 3 more weeks and it is
 easy to get on and off this thing even with only one arm.

Autumn & I  enjoying  the afternoon.

Love my Gadgets!!

I guess I've always been a gadget girl . If I can find something
 I can use to make things easier ,I'll give it a try.
 I would love to own a Acuquilt Go  but , a few months ago

 I got a great deal on  a Sizzix Big shot. Got it for 1/2 price

 It works on the same principal as the Go does .

I can get dies to do all my quilt cutting.  I got a hexi cutter die

 and I can cut as many as 24 at a time . Being one armed at the moment
it is great .I can do it left-handed. Woo Hoo

 I have been a hexi cutting maniac and my crap bag is getting much smaller.

I have a few other shapes on order   because of the wonderful sales they have had.

Can't beat 80% off on die cutters....  I can olso use other brand dies even the Go dies work .

Some day I hope to own an Acuquilt too, but for now I am making use of what I have.

I ordered a few Hello Kitty dies for the grandkids too.

 They love using them .

Also got some new fabric .....can never have enough.

These are for my Grandie Jewell's quilt.

A new Mocha  FQ pack I found at the Craft shop Sale
 gonna make some new place mats for the kitchen table.
