My Fave new Notion

I am such a lover of all things notions.  Just when I think I have them all - a new one appears!  I say Yeah! I found this little jem in a quaint little quilt shop in Tulsa, OK.  Why was I in Tulsa you ask?  I was with Dr. P at a conference.

The notion that has become my new best friend is this Fiskars fingertip rotary cutter. 

Here is the ad verbatim:

This is most control you could have with a rotary cutter! Simply point your finger and push, and you'll have a smooth, clean cut through any thin material without the bunching the larger cutters can cause. Fabulous control when cutting silk, tulle, vellum, lace, and much more.






I just love this little thing.  Check out Nancy' Notions Here and you can love it too!

Look What I Won!

Saturday I had the pleasure of attending our ASG's chapter Spring Fling!  I must say that the Fredericksburg group that hosted the event really raised the bar to an unbelievable height!  We had 77 gals attend and had just too much fun.  Well, I don't think you can have too much fun while talking about sewing! We had lunch, a fashion show and a fabric silent auction.  I got caught up in a bidding war over one piece of fabric and won it due to the graciousness of the other bidder.  Then I had a senior moment and left it at the event under my table ! Boo Hoo Thankfully one of the gals from the Frederiscksburg group found it and I will have my fabric back in my hot little hands by Thursday! 

This is my prize and what a treasure trove it is!  Each neighborhood group was asked to make a centerpiece and they we given away as door prizes.  I was so lucky to be picked second and selected this cornucopia of sewing notions.  As a matter of fact, I felt so lucky that I purchased a lottery ticket.  I will let you know if I am a millionairess on Tuesday! ha ha

Happy Sewing,
