ok so i started out cutting up 2.5" squares (240 needed) for a baby quilt i'm working on (the 4.5" already cut). then i remembered i needed focus squares for a scrappy spools quilt on the drawing board 3.5" (316 needed), 5" squares, 6.5" squares so i started in on those. in that process i remembered i needed 4" squares (focus fab) for another scrappy i have on the drawing board. 1000's of squares to cut, hours and hours of time spent. now i understand the need for a cutting system like GO! cutter. now i would really appreciate one.

do y'all think i could put this on my secret pal swap wish list with the hope of really getting one?????

Yes. It may look like a pair of scissors that say GO on them though.

Okay, it's time to start taking up a collection for Havplenty to buy a GO cutter. We'll just put a jar on the counter of some convenience store and see how we do.

Theresa, I am so sorry for your diagnosis but you can beat this I know. You're remembered in my prayers. A lot of us are praying for you and that's a very powerful thing.

Hugs,
Gail

Teresa, I am so sorry to hear of your diagnosis. But I believe you can beat this. You will be in my thoughts prayers, and please keep us updated.

You ladies are too funny, a pair of scissors with a GO on it...lol. Havplenty, I'll cut for you if you sew for me did I ever tell you all that I LOVE LOVR cutting fabrics? I do and pressing it too...best activities for fondling fabrics without people looking at you like you need help
