My redemption cartridges arrived today. That was pretty fast, I only sent the paperwork in last week. I will only be keeping one, Printing 101. I will be Ebaying the rest.

Heritage Cuts
This is the first go at using the Cricut to cut out stuff for a layout. All for one couple in my family history album. Also similar cuts in other colours for layering. Having a bit of trouble putting the layout together, basically out of practice with the scrapbooking. Might just put it together and revisit later if not happy.

Swap Blocks
I'm organizing a block swap on a quilting email list I am on. These are my blocks for the first six months of swaps. I wanted to get them out of the way so I don't have to be dragging the sewing machine out every month. Oh to have somewhere to permanently set it up.

Craft Show Loot
No cricut cartridges but I did pick up some other stuff, as you can see. Pretty even split between scrapbooking stuff and quilting stuff. Got basically one of each colour in the Glimmer Mist. The pink and green is a combo cutting mat and iron mat, with a nice cover and carry handles. I also added to the stash of 1930's fabrics. Found an interesting green that I REALLY like.
The show was good. I had planned on attending some of the seminars but I didn't get a chance. It was too hard to try and get to the rooms they were in. I must've done about 12 laps of the aisles. Was totally wiped out by the time I got home.

Phrase from Cricut
Phrase from Cricut, originally uploaded by Jane Stockton.
This is what a cut out looks like when the excess paper is removed. You can see how clean and sharp the cut out shape is. This is one of the pre-made phrases on the cartridge.

Cricut Cutout

This is what the stuff looks like when it is still on the mat. But you can see the variety of shapes it can cut.

Can't Find a Fabric? Try This Website
In my search for my missing fabric, someone sent me this great link. I haven't heard back yet, but thought others might want to know about it.

Basically, you tell them what fabric you are looking for (you can attach an image if your not sure of the details) and they send it out to the network of shops that have signed up with the service. If someone has it, they let you know and you can buy it! Sweet.

Moonglow Update
I've finished most of the alternate blocks but I'm one or two pieces short of fabric and no one seems to sell it anymore. I have been reduced to begging on my quilting email lists. Hopefully, something will come up. In the meantime, my finishing binge continues. I think the next project I will work on will be my everyday blackwork shirt. I've deconstructed the first shirts I made and modified them a bit - the sleeves were way too big and too complicated. I've cut them down and am putting some blackwork on them. It was going to be a take along project, but with Festival around the corner, I have no shirts to wear, so a concerted effort is required.

Do You Know Who Sells The Kit For This Quilt?
Yes, there may be a prize if you can give me the answer!!
I don't know if this kit is still being sold but I am interested in getting hold of it if it is! I know it was sold by an Australian business who are online. But I can't for the life of me remember which one! I saw the design at a couple of quilt shows but didn't buy it and now I am kicking myself!
