A new tool that I tested

Well here I am again, I have been very busy and have not been  blogging much. Today I do have something that I would like to share with you.

I got some new tools last week and was able to test one of them. I liked the tool and will use it again It is made by Top Anchor and I bought mine on Amazon.
 
This one is called Baptist Fan. These Tools are for the longarm. They have a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwgNaIbJqm4
 
 
So I gave this tool a test  I must say that I enjoyed using it. It does take some getting use to and you really have to practice working with it. For my first attempt I was very happy with the end result. 
 
See for yourself.
 



I think that if I continue working with this tool I will get much better. Go and have a look at there other tools and I will be testing the second one that I got in the near futur.

Happy quilting

Opening an Etsy store.

I must say that I am sorry that I have not made a post for some time. But I have been very busy with going to shows and buying fabrics.


Today I would like to talk about my on line store at Etsy.

I started this because I started to sell fabrics along with my quilting business, but it is a lot of work and I still do not have my fabrics put onto the Etsy store yet. The other day I have my son start to photograph the fabrics but he has not finished.

Let me tell you what I do have on the my online store. I have a lot of finished goods that I sell baby quilts and placemats I still have a few more of them to photograph and put on. The other day I put four items on and it took all day to get them writen up. You have to put a price for shipping so you have to take item and get it weighted and find a different price for more then one place so that you have an ideal of cost and you can do an average shipping price. ( the ladies are getting to know me at the post office).

You can find my Etsy store here
