No longer lonely!

I have been doing so much handwork lately and my sewing machine has been very neglected. I have been taking a bit of time to cut 1" strips to make the  Primitive Gatherings quilt "Nine" - all little 1-1/2" nine patches.

This week I got sewing...and sewing...and sewing....

 

Here are just some of the strips sewn...now it's time to cut them into 1" sections.

 

 

As I've been cutting I have separated them so the 'scrappy' look will be nicely spaced throughout the top.

 

I picked up this Creative Grids ruler (my first one and it will not be my last) and it was fabulous! No slipping while I was cutting and the lines are nice and thin. Love, Love, Love it!

 

 

I could not resist doing a little test block! It is so super cute- I am smitten!

 

In the pattern it says this project is a labor of love and it will certainly be that. When I am done it will be a quilt I pet every time I am near it!

 

Happy Stitching!
