Fiber Tuesday 154

Welcome back to Fiber Tuesday!  How was everyone's week?  We are just a week and a half away from the spring musical which means I am in full costume mode.  It cuts down on my quilting time but I'm thrilled to share my skill of sewing with kids who are doing musical theatre. I think it's important to give back to the community in any way I can.

Hamilton Beach Durathon Digital Iron Model 19901 Review

So I killed my iron a few weeks ago.  I needed a new one but there are so many brands and models out there that I was a little overwhelmed.  When I tweeted about my dilemma Hamilton Beach offered me a new iron.  I thought, "Why not?" if nothing else it would give me a stop-gap iron and it would let me give you the low down on the iron.  Even though they sent me the iron everything below is my own opinion.  This isn't my first Hamilton Beach iron and it probably won't be my last either.

Welcome back to Fiber Tuesday!  How was everyone's week?  I am starting to think my mind is leaving without me.  When I logged in to set up this post I realized everything I wrote for last week, I scheduled for this week.  That means I don't have to write this week but I didn't put up any new blog posts.  I need a bigger calendar I think.

Welcome back to Fiber Tuesday!  How was everyone's week?  Oh, I swear I'm not the brightest bulb in the box.  One of the area schools is having a fundraiser in a few weeks.  Over the weekend I decided I could turn their mascot into a lap throw they could auction off.  Sunday though I struggled with getting the angles to layout right so I'm going to turn the graphic into a paper pieced pattern.  I have until April 19 to finish.  Send me all your quilting luck my way.
