Our First Grandparents Day and the Magic Block Mirror at Massdrop

PS  I made a mistake and put the wrong date on the Art Auction stuff, so click here to see it.


If you are looking for one of those mirrors you can use to see how a block will look if it is mirrored , you are in luck.  There is one offered at Massdrop today.  It is currently at $26.00 but will go down to $23 as more people commit.  I  have wanted one for a while, it is one thing I didn't have before the flood!

I buy on Massdrop frequently.  They have great prices and free shipping on a lot of quilting and sewing related items.  The last thing I bought was a bolt of Kona Fog Grey for $50 something dollars.

And don't worry, I don't get anything out of it if you buy, I am just excited to have this mirror set.

Come back later today and I will show you what I got at Habitat ReStore for the Art Auction.  You won't believe this haul!

This morning we went to the Grandparents Day at Sawyer's school.


And LOOK!  He made this for us.  So I guess now I need refrigerator magnets!  LOL.

Here is the boy with his Papa, ever the fist jammed into his mouth.  

There were games for all to play.  Fruit for us to spit across the room and diapers to dirty!

After an hour, 5 babies crashed and the party was over.

MassDrop Order

This morning, I am having a root canal in a botched root canal from 5 years ago.  

So to make myself feel better (and reward my courage for driving across town) I just ordered some fabulous solid fat quarters from MassDrop.  I am always amazed at the prices I have seen, I guess guaranteeing a minimum order is what helps with the price.

From MassDrop site

https://www.massdrop.com/r/WFF6CT

For example, these Cirrus Solids are anywhere from $12.50 to $13.25 on the various places I generally by online.  The MassDrop price is $2.31 per FQ or $9.25 per yard.  That is like getting a whole FQ for free for every 2 you buy.

I know several people who  have done a significant amount of orders from MassDrop, and several who follow this blog.  In fact, it was on Sophie and Patty's recommendation that I joined in at QuiltCon!

My last order was the Skele-Biker material, remember that?

I need to finish that last 9  inches and get it bound for a finish!

When Plaster of Paris is Exciting

I followed Sophie Junction to Massdrop and scored this  fabulous collection of Plaster of Paris FQs.  I
got it for $60.66 which is $2.10 each.  That is $8.40 a yard.  Free Shipping.  My Local Quilt Shop sells FQs for $4.00, which is $12.00 per yard.  If you do want to sign up, let me send you an invite.  I get something for free.  Not sure what, but I do get something. 

I am waiting for the CurveMaster Foot to come in from them.  It sells for $29.99 online plus shipping, I got it for $14.99 including shipping.  Not bad.

I am dying for their Perle Cotton........but I don't need more stuff now.   Really.  I need to get my stuff I have under control.  You know.

This is a McGee funny.  Well, really not so funny.  There was a gang of cockfighters caught in the neighboring area.  the Judge ordered each of the 10 men to pay $100 to CAAWS as part of their restitution.  I received the money and a letter requiring my signature.  I put the info into the computer and signed the letter.  It was on my computer waiting to be slid into an envelope.

McGee wanted to put his 2 cents in, I guess. 

He was very pleased with himself.  I, on the other hand, was not.  I taped it back together and sent it off to the DA's office.  I hope they have a sense of humor.
