My first YouTube with the Accuquilt Cutters

Finally finished the DVD and YouTube video to include with catalogues for interested people who want to know more about the Accuquilt Cutters in Australia.. so friends, have look, and share if you wish. Of course Edward played the music in the background, and I hope it makes it a bit less boring... actuially only boring if you use an Accuquilt Cutter a lot and know all this stuff!
I often hear from people that they have seen the Cutters advertised in magazines here, but don't know how they cut... so here it is! :) My First YouTube presentation

Now, this is where I ask you.. what is missing? How do you like the presentation etc. Of course, me... it the "during the diet" me, so I hope you will see a lot less of me in my next Video!

Two posts in one day!!
Gene Black is having a giveaway on his blog. So just click here. It is for a book titled "Finish Almost any Quilt" by Marguerite McManus. He has a review on his blog, and by all accounts, it is an ideal book to help you finish off those Quilt as you Go's that have been waiting patiently for you to attend to!

Latest Finish!

I have been very slack with blog world for a few months... we went travelling to the other side of Australia, demonstrating the Accuquilt products to groups everywhere! Also selling them of course, so the productivity levels of quilt makers have shot up over on the West side of Australia!

I finished a quilt I made all from donated fabrics. A kind lady gave me a bag of Batik offcuts to use for my demonstrations of the Accuquilt GO! fabric cutter, and within a few demonstrations I had cut up enough for a large lap quilt, or a handy quilt to take to an outdoor show.

The 3 1/2" tumbler die meant that I could cut 18 pieces in one go, and of course, as they are all cut accurately, it was easy to sew up and join the corners. I used the Rick Rack die to make it different. That was fun, I used waste fabric to work out where it would fit on the border first, before I cut the green. I even made the four little circles from the Rose of Sharon die. I think I'd call the quilt something Jewels of Dehli.

It was also my first go at Free Motion Quilting other than just a circular design. I made a flower, a bit like a hibicus on each tumbler, linking them as I went, then between the tumber and the rick rack I made little leaves. The outside edge is the same little leave shape. It was much more fun than I thought it would be, and I'll be doing more of it!

Go to my website, I have the Baby GO for $149..... or $189 if you want the Value die and Mat.

Have been too busy to do much but just had to share this Video from You Tube a friend sent me.

It is so well done, and hey, I almost wish I could go and spend a week or two with these young senior Citizens!

Just updated my website with new prices.... I have lowered the price of lots of items, especially the bigger Accuquilt GO! having just done the homework and worked out the costings along with the lower dollar over the past month. So hope I can keep these prices down.

My Baby GO! includes a Value Die and Mat to suit the Baby...this is something most other dealers don't include. The GO! (the bigger one) comes packaged with a Value Die and Mat, but the Baby GO has nothing to let you get up and GO!

I also have the new dies, and also lowered the prices of these from their original posting. These include the cute little Birds, ideal for an applique quilt or decoration.



So go and have a look at http://www.craftandquilting.com.au/ Enjoy!

I am off to Warracknabeal on Thursday week to demonstrate the Accuquilt Cutter then down to Hamilton to see a group that have invited me there too.
Just spent a few weeks in Melbourne, delivered the Wedding ring quilt to the happy couple. They loved it, and it now lives on their bed.
My daughter had a birthday and her son, William had his second birthday a week later. He is such a character, rolls his eyes, pulls faces and has me laughing so much! So this week I have some photos. Two are of William taken this morning at the breakfast table...pulling faces and getting a laugh. Also put a snap in taken just this afternoon and posted on Facebook by my daughter and a pic of James, 6 months...dreaming!

Cheeky boy having a laugh after rolling his eyes and pouting as if he was sad!


What was James dreaming about? Something nice!
