I hope that you are enjoying the new videos showing how to use the SMUP ruler. Square Me Up Ruler that is.
Earlier this year Kerry from New Zealand sent me some of her batik fabric. I used the SMUP ruler to make this quilt. I just love it. Love batiks! I showed it briefly in the second video but I wanted to give you a better look at it.

I used eight different fabrics. 1/3 yard of each.
Cut four 10″ squares from each.
Follow the instructions for the SMUP ruler.
I paired up the same colors of 10″ squares for each. My result was 40 of each half square triangles (HST).
You could also mix and match the 10″ squares. I did have some of my HST left over.
I hope you enjoy it.

In the morning I love to wake up and make lists of all of the things that I think I will accomplish that day.
My lists are long and complicated, and in reality, I really need a twin to help me get all of my work done.
Today, my lists includes this block.

I completed the wall hanging quilt. Completed to me, means; top sewn, quilted and bound. Yippee!
This is a project that I am working on for Timeless Treasures fabrics.
I now I need to get busy and make the table runner and then finish writing the directions.
I confess, writing the directions is my least favorite part.
Then I will stain the deck rail, pick huckleberries, clean the house, workout, practice shooting my bow, fix dinner, work on computer classes and oh yea, WORK!
The “work” list has its own list. I make first and secondary lists.
I should add writing lists to my list. Ha ha. Good luck with all of that.
I think I will concentrate on the table runner and directions writing and see how the rest goes.
I hope you are having a great Monday.
I will be starting my SMUP tutorials this week. Stay tuned!
