Hi !

I'm in 'power sewing' mode for the next few weeks. In addition to all my normal work, I'm working on my next book with the deadline coming up.

This will be book #37, wow.. I can't believe it. I've been in business 20 yrs, 18 of them full time and have written more than a book a year. One year I wrote 3 (whew!)

As I was working on a project the other night I KNEW I needed to change my blade. I kept thinking just a few more cuts. ... can you relate?

That also got me to thinking about the tools I was using to trim half square triangles. I love using a rotating mat and my favorite ruler to trim AND add a new blade .. this girl is in heaven!

I angle the HST like the photo.
Put the ruler on time and place the line (2.5" this time) ON the seam.
Trim one side.
rotate the mat,
trim the other side.

The tools I love are ON SALE FIND THE Mat & rotary cutter and the Ruler

oh.. and when was the last time you changed your blade?

JOIN my Facebook Group we have loads of inspiration and tips.. like this great way to keep your ruler from slipping that Marsha shared!

pat sloan mini charm book project

Mini Charm Madness!

This is the Super Cool new book I'm in! I'm honored to be asked to contribute to the Moda/Martingale book on uses for Mini Charms... those delightful little 2.5" squares we collect!

We have them and sometimes it's hard to figure out what to make, but not anymore! This book is FULL of create ideas, like my tulips!

The royalties for the book will be donated to LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs. The group’s mission says, “A dog is a friend who brings a calming influence, allowing people to open up their hearts and receive help for what is affecting them.” Specially trained LCC K-9 Comfort dogs visit disaster locations, community events, and care facilities around the U.S. wearing their “Please Pet Me” vests—offering comfort where words often fail. It’s a little thing—the comfort a four-legged friend can bring—that can make a huge impact in the lives of those hurting. You can learn more at their website (k9comfort.org). This little book will help make a big difference.
