GO cutter play date....and a shout out to LINDA!

Today was a fun day. I went to a meeting of the "minis". We are a small group of long armers. We made our own group (and we are keeping it small on purpose) and we take turns hosting. It is all about fun and no rules...no blocks to bring, no strips to bring, no food to bring (but we always DO anyway), no kitty...you get the picture.

We always try to come up with something fun to do. We all have long arms so sometimes we just have a muslin on and play around but for the most part we try to come up with a "theme" per se. Today was GO cutter day! There were 7 of us there, three with GO cutters and only three with projects to cut. Boy it was fun. I cut lots and lots of 1.5" strips for a new string quilt I have been wanting to make. Here are my strings. You can't tell in the picture but there are a LOT of strips on there. That would have taken me a LONG TIME to cut them by hand.



Also I had help with pressing and prepping so we got a lot done. Linda cut out oodles of squares for a quilt she is doing. Here she is cutting...




and here is her stack of blocks....IMPRESSIVE HUH?




Here the girls are just hanging out and trying Gails's long arm. You have L to R, Lea, Lou and Nancy H. Lea and Lou don't have long arms...YET.





It is a long drive out to Gail's (2.5 hrs total driving for me (I met Nancy at her house and she drove to Gail's) and almost an hour for nancy to drive there and back. A lot of driving because we are all spread out. It's worth it tho.



Oh and this is a special hello to my friend Linda...HI THERE!
