Meet my new Best Friend.......


WHY did I wait so long before buying one of these???? How dumb can I be! As you can guess I love this little tool. I recently picked one up at a sale.

I just pinned my Gardener's Journal quilt (finally I hear some of you say). This time I closed the pins as I put them in. This tool made bring up the sharp end easier as well as helping to close it.


The other thing I learnt this morning - Don't pin a quilt and have to crawl around the tiled floor the morning after putting a 54 year old body through a Zumba class the night before. Not good.

Our thoughts and prayers are with our New Zealand neighbours as they try to get through this terrible tragedy.

The summer of 10/11 is going to go down as one of terrible natural disasters in our region.

Take care everybody,
Kayly

I bought one of those gizmos a couple of weeks ago - still to use it but am looking forward to saving my fingers.
