Around the Net: Sublime Stitching (entry 109)

Jenny over at Sublime Stitching posted a question on her Facebook Fan Page asking her stitching followers what are the tools that you can’t live without? I’m becoming more of a stitcher everyday, incorporating embroidery into my Block of the Month Clubs I’m loving the stitching part. I love the patchwork and the combination of stitching in the same block, I do some work at my beautiful sewing machine and I also can do some of the work in front of the TV, it’s perfect!

Anyway, back to Jenny, here’s the list she compiled and all of the links for you to find these goodies:

This iron-on transfer pen seemed to be #1, sounds very interesting

Clip-on reading light “for PM stitching” know ladies who have this and love it

Lightbox – which I was recently given one and boy do I LOVE my lightbox, thanks Carla

Thread Heaven, haven’t used this but heard good things about it

Seam Ripper, here’s a link to the one I carry.

Sticky Stabilizer, sounds like that sticky wax paper stuff?
(different from iron-on)

Magnifying Light, haven’t needed this

Punch Needles – this is something I’m very much considering getting into – any of you do punch needle?

Needle Nest, personally I love my tuffets.

Water Erasable Pen, have one of these

Tracing Paper, haven’t had a need for this

Laying Tool, I want one of these but not sure why?

Floss Organizer, have one of these and LOVE it!!

Thanks so much Jenny for posting this list now I have a shopping list of my own 🙂

Quilt Canada 2010 (entry 107)

Hi Everyone, so now we have 20 people in for the amazing 100th Blog Giveaway that I’m hosting..WooHoo! Please tell your friends 🙂

I’m writting this blog today (Wed) as I’ve been so busy with Quilt Canada (2 days volunteering) and filling up with inspiration while I’m there…I’m also getting ready for my Lakeside Guild’s Quilt Show on Sat where I will have my first booth, please wish me luck and if you come by to see the show please say “hi” to me I would love to meet you and chat with you!!

So short but sweet today 🙂 A little sneak-a-peak from Quilt Canada

These birds were calling my name…I could almost hear them “tweet” “tweeting” amazing work.

Look at the detail she put into their faces, incredible…

I loves this colour gradient, jesters hat. I don’t think it’s a Jesters Hat but I do love the concept and she talked about travelling through our lives and the changes we go through, amazing…AND the background I think is silk which you know I love!

 These cherry blossoms were almost moving in the breeze, all 3 dimensional and the quilting is stunning…

This one is so dainty, it’s all created with half square triangles and pieced, so beautiful…

Until next week, have happy and creative days, I’ll have so much to update you on, I’m so excited!!

Around the Net: Twitter (entry 106)

Hi Everyone, I tweet on Twitter and I’m loving it. You know the other night I was tweeting about the crazy spring storm that blew in and a friend was tweeting about a storm in her part of the country, someone else was tweeting about a storm where they were…it’s amazing how Twitter, Facebook, Blogs and this online world connect us together on such a personal level. I’ve decided to dedicate one day a week to my online friends…weather that’s my new Fans on Facebook, Interesting Blogs I’ve come across that I need to share with all of you my wonderful readers and friends or whatever else my little heart desires to share. I know that IS what blogging is all about and I’m loving it.
