Little Forest Quilt-along

I've been getting ready for the Little Forest Quilt-Along.

 I've picked my greens, 

 I've picked my browns and I've gathered a few sewing essentials.

I've downloaded the pattern.  I've joined the Flickr group.  I'm ready to go. Roll on Monday - lets get started.

There is still time for you to join in too. Just pop over to Peas in a Pod to find out more.

I find this quilt-along so appealing because it only goes for a few weeks and, all going well, I'll have a new quilt top by mid October.

Fussy Cut Hexies

Quite a few people have been asking about the nifty little perspex hexie I use for my fussy cut hexie flowers.

You can buy it from Jane's great on-line shop, Want It, Need It, Quilt.  Only $3.50 and a fabulous tool.

A New Swap

If you like participating in swaps, lovely Sandy over at Cookies and Cream Craft has a great one on at the moment.  You need to sign up by 12th September and have six weeks to make and post your scissor keep.
