Hi Ladies
Hope you all enjoyed Halloween and the little "trick or treaters".

Happylab...thanks for step #2. The leaf looks lovely and I do like it very much in batiks. I have not started mine yet, but maybe I will do this all in batiks. hmmm. Also did you get an row by row kits???

SheriR....all the little piggies are adorable!

DjMat...what is a 2.5" binding buddy?

Traverlergramma.........That is a beautiful quilt. I made that quilt also but I had my sashing much larger. Love the thin sashing and putting it on point. I loved making this quilt.

Jaba.....glad your winter move went well. How long will you stay there???

Jannie...you asked how to match up your squares. It really depends on the pattern, I think. When I am sewing I use the candy squares as leaders and enders. I just choose these randomly. I do try not to put two together the same color/shade. But if you are doing a quilt like Travelingramma...you have to be more careful. For that one I picked out the color that I was making for the square but did put them together randomly. Hope this helps.

Next post will be picking the "TIPS " winner.

A Binding Buddy is a ruler manufactured in precise widths & lengths by June Tailor:
Binding Buddy 2-1/2" Ruler

Cut perfect binding strips without tedious measuring.

• Cut bias strips by placing 45° bottom edge of ruler on the fabric’s edge.
• Use top, straight edge of ruler to cut cross-grain strips.
• Unique two-color printing for easy measuring and identification.
• Available in 2-1/4” and 2-1/2”.
• Measures 2-1/2" x 30"

You can cut on both sides of the ruler to get 2.5" strips & the ruler lines help you lineup any fabric with line motifs to get a perfect cut.

Congrats to the 2 winners. I enjoyed reading all of the sewing tips.

So far I have received squishes from NLS, Phyllis, DJ, Alexander, Mariposa, and WMUteach. And previously mentioned, from Jennr8r and Moonrise. for a total of 8. Thank-you very much. I have decided to open them all up at the same time on my Birthday. I am off this year and can spread the fun over 2 days.
