Have a Latte!! (or two)

Some of you don't know that coffee
is well....
One of my favorite things.

And this beautiful fabric from Clothworks
is right up my alley.

 

(Isn't so cute?  I just love the quotes!)

 

I always try something different

when I make a quilt -

A different technique,

maybe a different type of block. 

Well, I took the tradition log cabin block

that I have been wanting to try for ages

 

 

 

and made a bunch of strips
using my handy Accuquilt Log Cabin die...

 

 

played with it a bit .....

and
Came up with my new super power!!
COFFEE!! 

I was able to finish up a quilt top.

Thanks to Clothworks for being a great sponsor,
to the lovely Joan of MooseStach Quilting.

My Lacy Pillow and My New Cricut

 So what do you do when

you can't sleep at night?

Well, some people might drink some

warm milk.

Not me, I go ahead and get up

and quilt.

That was me last night.

I whipped up this beauty in

just a couple of hours.

 

 

 

Believe it or not is an applique.

 

 

 

Like a pretty fabric doily.

 

 

Simple and elegant

 

 

 

So, how did I do it?

I played with my new Cricut Explore machine.

It cuts FABRIC!!!

I have all these little

fabric ideas dancing through my

head.

 

 

 

I had a old machine that I have

used years for paper,

but I really couldn't resist this.

 

 

It did a pretty good job

on the two little doilies that

I placed on the corner.
I know that there is no
way that I could have cut that with
scissors.
OHHHHHH, the possibilities.

 

 

So, have any of you tried this machine?

Do you have any questions on how it works?

 

I can't wait to play with it some more.
