Clue #4 of Indigo Way Finished!

 Ahhh - it feels so good to FINISH!

Clue #4 of Indigo Way Mystery

While I realy like the Blues in this Indigo Way Mystery Clue:

Blues of Clue #4

I LOVE those Christmas REDS!

The REDS of Clue #4

While cutting out this clue, decided to convert one of my rolling carts into a 'cutting' cart - and it works great!  I can move from pressing to cutting stations w/ease:

Rolling cart using for 'cutting' cart

It can hold two (2) baskets on each shelf.  Once the baskets are full of their cut units, the baskets move easily to my sewing area.  Now my cutting work is much more efficient and organized...win/WIN!

Have a Wonderful Holiday Week!

Indigo Way Mystery Clue #3 Underway!

 First...the Cutting:

Clue #3 ALL Cut!

Even though 'cutting' is NOT my favorite thing to do - cutting w/AccuQuilt GO! Big is my NEW fav thing!  It makes such light and Fast & FUN work of a previously BORING task...Love it!  (Additional pics of this Fab cutter can be found from Clue #2.)

Next comes a test block...lookin' pretty good!

Clue #2 of the BH Indigo Way Mystery is HERE!

 ...and it's ALL sewn/pressed/pruned and ready to go into the Clue #2 bag...Yes!

Clue #2 of the Indigo Way Mystery ALL Finished!

This was a FUN Clue from Bonnie Hunter's Indigo Way Mystery - these Festive & FUN fabrics from Moda made me smile while they were being fed through my sewing machine:

Chain-piecing the first side while singing Fa La La in my head ;-)

Even when I 'Did it WRONG', still had to smile at my zeal to get started sewing these FUN fabrics:

Sewing the units WRONG - notice the piece on Top is UPSIDE Down...OOPS! 
Time for 'ol Jack the Ripper' to make his necessary appearance in this clue...MORE than Once he showed up!!!

Cutting was a breeze w/AccuQuilt GO Big! cutter, Wowza!  

An early Christmas present to self - w/Cyber Monday
72% discount and my Saved Up Points ;-)

A couple of months ago, I broke my right elbow in two places and cutting with rulers and a rotary cutter or scissors has been next to impossible, just too painful after a few minutes. 

But now, I can cut a few chunks of fabric and run them thru this electric cutter:

Fast & FUN - my kinda cutting!

And when they said it was BIG - they were NOT lying...

It can even handle up to two (2) 6" dies at a time and SIX layers of fabrics!

I really enjoy watching the die w/fabric run thru this cutter:

Clue #2 neutral fabric going thru die

ALL perfectly cut units:

Freshly cut units w/little waste

...and here are ALL the units from Clue #2 ready to be assembled - fairly quickly & perfectly cut = a Joy to sew together since ALL the units line up again...PERFECTLY!

Clue #2 ALL cut and ready to be sewn

The die I used helped make quick and pain-free cutting work of this Clue!

GO! die

Some of the FUN/Festive fabric - I love what the selvages have to say:

Christmas Eve by Moda

My very fav:

What a wonderful message!

May your Week be MERRY & Bright!
