I have put it off long enough and Roxy has said, "It's time, Em....Make the announcement!"

Behind every quilt, textile art piece, stash of fabric that is potential....

 are the tools that make it all happen!

If our blade is dull, needles lost on a magnet in a purse, rotary mat has a hole in the center, iron  spits up dirty spots on white fabric or a machine whose tension doesn't cooperate or pedal begins to smoke....

 Our projects stay only a vision or unfinished...................

It is time to give credit where credit is due!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

You got it, the CELEBRATION of the tools behind the quilter has begun!

As Roxy is so graciously modelling, it is time to bling out the tools, blow up balloons, and/ or make a mug rug for the machine and let's have a parade!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Keep it simple or get crazy, up to you!

Please send me pics to my email at entradamedical@snwp.com of your CELEBRATION and I will post!  Parade will be for the next 7 days or rest of the year depending on how much time you have on your hands.  I will be giving out awards at the end of 7 days....So on your mark, get set, BLING!!!!!!!!!!  Let's CELEBRATE the tools behind the quilter!!!!!!!!  And if your tool is shy and sheepish and says, "ANYTHING BUT THAT PLEASE!"....send me a pic of the tool in its humble glory.  Please include the name if your tool was gifted one or if this is the christening ceremony.

Spread the word so this is crazy fun!  The prizes are going to be traditional and wacky so enter and see what you win!!!

Love, Em
