A Little Bit 'o Self-Indulgence...

So yesterday’s post ended with the teaser that I was going to share my very early birthday gift to myself. Yep, the birthday isn’t until the very end of August. But I figure, when will I get more time for quilting than I have now while I’m forced not to travel or be in an office or have a slate of meetings I’m driving to and fro from? Sure, I’m on Zoom, sometimes all day, but when I’m done with a Zoom meeting I just shut off my webcam and leave my desk, and two steps later I’m in my sewing room. Heckuva commute.

You know I’ve been thinking about it, so I finally bit.

Here’s the big, very easy hint:

It was on a big sale, plus orders over a certain amount get a free pennant die as well. (I’ve been wanting to make holiday banners for my mantle so that will be nice.) I also bought a 5” die, since a lot of my books and patterns are for jelly rolls and charm packs. I have a smallish collection of scraps (drawers, not bins) and it will be nice to have a fast way to cut them down into easily usable pieces. I’m looking forward to playing with the Eleanor Burns book that uses the 8” Cube dies—that should be fun.

I don’t know how long it will take to get to me, but I’m both excited and nervous about starting to play with it.

‘Cause here’s what I sure do know. If there’s a way to mess up cutting something with the AccuQuilt, I’ll figure out how to do it.
