Yesterday I received my Dresden Plate Go die. All day I was at my job itching to get home to start playing with it.

When I got home, I found out that the water tank on the toilet of my bathroom was leaking. I had to call the maintenance guy at my apartment complex.

This took a lot of time and cleaning afterwards. So it was almost 9pm when I finally could start cutting. I selected fabrics and cut two plates on fall colors for placemats.

When I finished, it was time to go to bed. No time left for sewing. Darn!! I want to see the first plate finished.

This morning I'm back at my job, itching to go home to play with my die and fabrics. LOL

i know the feeling when you get a new 'toy'. have fun!

Don't you just hate it when this happens!! Fingers crossed that tonight goes better for you. :)

I thought you were telling us to go die!!! LOL

Here is the first try with my Dresden Plate Go die.

Photo was taken with my cell, so the colors look much paler than they really are.

There is some puckering on the center, but I'm happy with the results.

This is going to be a Sunflower placemat.

Have fun!

Well that is just too pretty! Love your yellers!!

OK, now I NEED the die!!!! LOL

of course you need it. It is fun to work with.

Have fun!

Got to let us see how it cuts out....i have been wanting one too. Lucky you!! Oopsie, i see you have it put together now, very pretty! What ate the measurements there?

The final plate is around 12 inches diameter.

Thanks for the info...have lots of fun with this die..
