Does anyone on her have a Cricut? I have the Cricut Cake I use for goodie decorations & it works great. I just purchased a Cricut Expression for doing scrapbooking and thought I would try it out today on some fabrics.

Does anyone have one and if so how well does it cut out fabric? What machine settings do you find work best for fabric?

I have one put it on the deepest setting my daughter has mine right now so don't no the number also put it on slow make sure you have a good blade in it I keep a special blade for material I also find it cuts smoother if you put some kind of interfacing on the material iron on typr heat and bond hope this helps

Last call for horse blocks & sunflower blocks!
If you planned to make one but have been too busy, don't worry about it! Want to get those assembled & off to Charismah for her wonderful quilting.

I had one and used it frequently. Just make sure the fusible web is ironed on good so it doesn't slip. I finally bit the bullet and got an accuquilt studio because it can to te big strips ad blocks and multiple cuts all in one.

Robert - got your lovely brown and gold blocks today!!

Thank you!!

I'm going to try to whip this brown and gold quilt together this weekend. Freshmen orientation is one week from today - I would love to sell raffle tickets/auction tickets during that event.

=)

Oh and Dotty and Robert, your blocks are done and on their way!

My thought is in the black. I always like my binding to be the frame especially if it a wall hanging. If not black, then one of the greens you have going thru all three blocks.
