I've worn it out!

Today I cut some applique shapes with my GO cutter to take to Mother when I go next week. When I got to the last couple,  there were places that didn't cut as cleanly.  When I looked closer I saw why!   I think I need to order a new cutting mat...can you see the cracks?



This particular mat probably gets more use than some of the others, as it fits 4 or 5 dies.  No problem, I just ordered 2 new ones. And these are the shapes I cut...lots of stuff for flowers.





I just realized I didn't post a picture of Mother's finished quilt either..well here it is.







If you look closely, you can see I stitched the binding on the top too. I did that with the longarm and even made a video lesson on how I do it.  It'll be available  as a free video on MQR, just as soon as Suzanne has a chance to post it.  All the "frames" in the blocks were done with the Circle Lord "Aztec" template and then embellished. I also posted that step by step on MQR as a Premier video.  So check them both out.
