a step back.
09 August 2010

i'm sure by now yall have noticed a lull in my blogging.
oops.
:)
we're on the home stretch as far as baby griffith is concerned. {yayyy!!!}
it's football season. {hubby = coach. son = player.}
we're in a moving transition. {new baby = new house.}
& i have 2 toddlers to tickle in between meals, laundry & doctor appointments.
needless to say...my dance card is full.
but i love it.
really.
so this is me...
:P
yall just rest assured that baby griffith pics will be posted ASAP.
promise. promise. promise.
p.s. to answer the #1 question in my inbox right now...

mwahahahahaha.
*that was my evil laugh*

maybe.
02 August 2010

so this was my belly about a month ago.
the view hasn't changed much.
really.
okay so maybe it's a little more rounder.
& maybe my belly button is threatening to pop out.
& maybe...just maybe i can't see my feet.
maybe.
baby griffith in t-minus 5 weeks & counting.
or maybe she has different plans.
babies do have their own timing you know.

go! cutter.
24 July 2010

so the peeps over at accuquilt blessed me with my very own go! cutter.
{remember???}
well i've had some time to play with it...
& now it's time for a rachel-ish review.

likes:
holy cow to cutting out a WHOLE quilt within a few minutes.
pieces are spot on precise. every. single. time.
a very fun, safe way to include your kiddos.
it's SO easy a caveman can do it.
dislikes:
fabric waste can happen if you aren't using your resourceful "a" game.
applique shapes need to be a bit bigger if you use needle turn method.
although the strip cutter is handy...i'm totally spoiled by moda precuts.

overall review:
i highly recommend scoring your own go! cutter.
especially if cutting fabric is your least fav part of quilting.
unfinished doll quilt stats:
size = 18" square
fabric = arabella by pat sloan for p&b textiles
tumbler die used.
critters die used.
2 1/2" strip die used.
{strips = not pictured.}
p.s. keep your eyes open...
i'm gonna give one of these bad boys to ONE lucky p.s. i quilt reader.
:O)
