Gambling, Gadgets, and a Give-away, Cape Cod, Part 2

To read more about our weekend, click on A Kerfuffle of Quilters, Cape Cod, Part 1.
The give-away for my Grow Your Blog Post, is open through February 14th, click here. My new give-away is at the bottom of this post.

On Saturday night we played Left Right Center (also known as LCR), a dice game, for fat quarters. There was one round of batik and one round of Kaffe Fassett. This was Sue's first time playing--she must have had some beginner's luck! Cordula also won. And in the end they traded, so Sue took home the batiks and Cordula went home with the Kaffes.

Winning smiles from Sue and Cordula

As always, we got to check out some new gadgets. Everyone was eyeing Joannie's new mini iron which she bought at a quilt shop on a recent Florida vacation. A quick e-trip to Amazon found one here. I may be adding one to my Amazon shopping cart in the near future.

You can even add water and use steam! Isn't it cute?

After Sue's recent demo, we were all intrigued by her AccuQuilt GO! fabric cutter so this time Karen brought her Silhouette Cameo cutter and gave us a demo of its capabilities. Karen and Kate own Berkshire Quilts, so they brought some cutters and dies to the quilt weekend for us to purchase. The two machines do different things, so it would be easy to justify the need to own both. One of the Brown Baggers, who will remain anonymous (and it wasn't me!) was able to justify both last weekend! I'm going to be dropping by her house soon for a cutting marathon...

A couple of the girls went home with a new GO! cutter.

Jo Ann E. has owned a GO! cutter for a while and she brought hers to the weekend and put it to work.

Here are some of Jo Ann's applique blocks in progress, all cut using the GO! cutter.

Did I mention a give-away? You bet I did! It's being sponsored by my friend Karen, below, who designs original quilt patterns under the name QuiltLily Designs. You've seen Karen in my blog many times.
