Well it's kinda cute anyways-- but seriously...anyone else have issues with "wonky"? I mean it's supposed to be easy, right? O.k. so it did get easier after I got a little method to my madness but still....
O.k. before I forget go here to enter for a fantastic give-away of an amazing quilt!!!I've gotten 3 new books this week...here are 2...the other 1 not only can't I find, I don't even remember what it was...yikes!
I love. love. love. Kaffe Fasset's new book. Here's just a "tiny" peek, I really need to make this "S" quilt for Sarah.
Haven't had a chance to look at the border book yet-it just came today and looks very technical but that's what I wanted so that's o.k.! I'll tell you what I think after I've read it more thouroughly.Oh and the Marie Claire people called me and asked if I would like them to mail the latest issue...um duh? yeah like immediately!! I love this magazine...even though I don't speak French, I can find out all the important stuff ( my ex happens to be bilingulal and happy to translate for me)
And speaking of the French, they have many marvelous inventions, the Butter Bell being one of them. Have you heard of a Butter Bell? Do you wish for a way to have soft butter that is also fresh? And not have to use nasty margarine (that causes so many health problems) the Butter Bell is your answer. Typically $20 online plus shipping or $30 at William Sonoma (where I came soooo close to buying it) you can get it for 7.95 at Amazon.com and I have been the guinnea pig for you lol.
I thought no way can this be the same thing as I'm seeing online other places...but it is. Unfortunately I don't get any $ for this advertisement lol!!! But omg you guys this is one of the greatist "foodie" gadgets ever and it qualifies for the $25 free shipping deal...go get one NOW!!! Oh yeah and it keeps your butter fresh for a whole month!!! See how it's still light yellow and not that nasty color of butter that's been out to long? 
Been in the Butter Bell for over a week :)And I attempted another applique project...please don't click to enlarge this one...yikes I need a lot more practice!! But from a distance I like it :) It's from 2007 Fall issue of American Patchwork and Quilting.
Have a great week!!
