12 AccuQuilt Go! dies, fun fabrics, new batting, rulers, calendars and more!

The weather outside might be frightful but the UPS an Fed Ex deliveries are so delightful! 

We got a boat load of new stuff this week.  There's still time to get those last minute Christmas gifts completed before the big day!   

We received 10 bolts of "Cherry On Top" fabric this week.  This line is by Keiki for Moda.  They just scream "fun".  I used a jelly roll of this line to make one of the "Jelly Roll 1600" quilts hanging in the shop.

 "Cherry on Top" prints just scream "fun".  

Cupcakes anyone?

These prints are from the "Deep in the Heart of Texas" fabric collection (we also have the jelly rolls, charm packs and layer cakes from this line).  Can you see the state of Texas in red?  Anything made from this line would be great for the Texan in your life!  YEE-HAH!

I have one of these calendars on my desk at work. It's a perpetual calendar with a quilt block for every day (complete with pattern and fabric requirements). 

Buy it once and use it over and over every year. These make great gifts for the quilter in your life (or for yourself!).  

I hate digging through the container I keep my bobbins in. The threads are all jumbled together which turns into mortal combat trying to free the bobbin I need.  These "Bobbin Savers" eliminate all that. Thank goodness!  There are two sizes (small/medium and jumbo) depending on what size your bobbins are.

Now our bobbins can't drop off the sewing table (rolling across the floor for parts unknown) when we're not looking!    

The white gizmo on the left is a bobbin organizer.  It has space for packages of needles, scissors, writing pens (and seam ripper) as well as holding your bobbins.  How cool is that?  I love gizmos.  

Pat loves her wrist pin cushion so I decided to order some.  They come in two different colors: red and blue.  They are sorta kinda adjustable, depending on how big your wrist is???  

Some of the ladies at work were talking about the sock monkeys they had as children.  They decided I had a deprived childhood since I'd never had a sock money.  We now have two colors of socks (brown heather and pink heather) as well as the book with patterns for making other animals:  dachshund doggies, elephants, rabbits, teddy bears and more. 

There are two pair of socks in each package.  We've also ordered the blue heather socks which should be here sometime next week.  

 AccuQuilt just released 12 new dies for the holidays. We have all of them:  large half hexagon, Snowball, Bowties, two sizes of paper piecing hexagons, Hunter's Star, two sizes of Clamshell, Wedge, Equilateral Triangle, large hexagon and three-in-one half hexagons.  

Do you need to write a letter to Santa Claus? 

These "Quilter's Travel Cases" are too handy.  I wanted to see how much stuff it would hold so, this is what I came up with (there is a removable pocket that fits in the bottom but I didn't use it, it's under the layer cake).  

I really like these. They hold a lot of stuff, zip closed, have carrying handles and a shoulder strap to boot!   

I'm notorious for buying something then keeping it in the bag it came home in......forever!  These storage containers can help with that!  I really like these.  

All of the inside dividers are removable so you can decide how big each section will be. I wanted to see how much different sized "stuff" would fit.  I didn't use all of the dividers so they're behind the scrap bag in the top right section!  

The good thing about these are they can be used for big stuff too, just remove all of the dividers.  Viola!  

We received seven different sized Omni Grip rulers this week.  This isn't the greatest picture but here's what came in:  2 1/2" x 12 1/2"; 2 1/2" x 18"; 3 1/2" x 24"; 4" x 14"; 6"x 12"; 6" x 24" and 8 1/2" x 24".  I made tags so you can tell at a glance what the sizes are.   

I love "Warm and Natural" batting.  We received the "Baby" and "Craft" pre-packaged sizes this week.  We also received a bolt of 124" wide "Warm and Natural" (on the bolt) but I didn't take a picture of it!  

We now have all available sizes of Warm and Natural: 36" wide (on the bolt), 45" wide (on the bolt), 90" wide (on the bolt), 124" wide (on the bolt), "Baby" and "Craft".  If you need batting bigger than the pre-packaged sizes, we'll cut it off the bolt for you!  

Warm and Natural pre-packaged batting:  the package on the left is 'baby" size, the package on the right is the smaller "craft" size.
