I've been challenged!!

A few days go, Pat from A little of this, and a little of Pat sent me 45 tumbler pieces she cut with the Accuquilt GO! that she was lucky enough to win from Accuquilt. She has issued a challenge for me to create something with these pieces. In the pic there are 9 of the 45 pieces, these are the colors I have to work with. In her note, she said I'm to turn them into something fun. Since she didn't give a deadline, I've got all the time in the world! ( I'll have something completed by this weekend.) Maybe add a border and turn it into a quilt for either Quilts For Kids or Project Linus .

Whats YOUR opinion???

I need your help. My mother-in-law is looking at buying a new sewing machine. She wants to try her hand at quilting. What would you look for in machine for beginning quilting & embroidery. She's looking for something in the $400 to $500 range.

I promise...

I follow upwards of 75 different blogs. Its really hard to keep up with each and every one. But I have determined that some of those 75 are no longer active, meaning their last post was over 6 months ago. I will be weeding those blogs out and focusing on those that are currently active. With this and the new direction of Flat Out Quilting , I promise to read your posts and to leave at least 1 comment a week. All to often, I read a blog and not leave a comment. I do enjoy all the blogs I read and want to make sure each author knows I'm still here and still reading. The inspiration and ideas I get from each blog is greatly appreciated.

A new direction....

I noticed this evening that in less than 30 days my little piece of blogland here at Flat Out Quilting will turn 1 year old. In the spirit of all things bloggy, watch for a new and improved FOQ. I promise to bring you more WIPs, some completed projects, a ton of WTHWITs, more humor and of course sarcasm (you know you like it!) and a give away or two.

Until then,

Piece!

Ready....Set...GO!!!

Barb over at Bejeweled Quilts By Barb is having the greatest give away of all time.. She's giving away an Accuquilt GO!!!! What you need to do to get in on the fun is go there, read the rules and tell her I sent you... Or you could increase my chances and not go there, not leave a comment... More chance for ME to win!!! But I know you'll go check out Barb's blog and comment and tell her I sent you... On a happy note, Gene Black will not be entering, the lucky guy has already won a GO! cutter from Accuquilt..
