I headed to the sewing room--
had decided to cut the rest of the Valentine charm packs into 2 1/2" strips--
then cut some plain white into 2 1/2" strips--
and 'play' being a Bonnie --
as I was doing that--Me decided to also do another project with some of the 5" charms--
so I set about doing it--but needed 36 charms and had already cut too many--needed 8 more--
so I got out my pink basket and found 2 fabrics that would work and cut me 8 more charms--
and went to work--
Now I have used what some call--bunny ears or leaders/enders/ for along time--
but is has just been small pieces of fabric--
But Bonnie actually sews small pieces together towards another project--
She does alot with 2 1/2 inch squares for one thing--
so I decided that is what I would do too--
and that is why I was cutting up the charm squares and white cotton strips this morning--
and got the 'notion' that "today was the day" for some excitement--
And I am doing the happy dance tonight--
I just love it--
when you have no plan --
but the plan comes together anyways--
look what I did with that quilt top --
maybe this will help--
I have had all three sizes of the twister rulers for a long time--
got the two larger ones first months ago--
and today I finally just 'did-it'--
or at least it was today--
loved doing this--can't wait to do another one!!!
Now back to Bonnie--
when you do the blocks on the twist, you only sew on one at a time--
so I sewed a strip set together in between each time I had to add another block--
flew right along with those strips!!!!
They are not all done yet--but nearly--
there is no time set for finishing these--so will just keep stitching on them til they are done--
and then what--hummm--
only time will tell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's all for today--folks!!!
Hugs, Di and that Miss Gracie!!!!

Very nice! I love my Lil Twister! :0)
SO CUTE! I LOVE THOSE PINKS!
THANKS FOR SHARING!
Two very pretty quilts- I have not tried the little twister- I have looked at the tool occasionally but have not bought one. It looks like you are having fun with it.

Very pretty! Haven't heard of that twister-thingy. The only twist I know is a dance and I'm not sure I can do that anymore :-)
Firstly, your pink fabrics are just divine and I love what you did with those squares!!! Your twister turned out beautifully, you should be proud of it, just goregous! I have had three of those rulers for the longest time and have not yet done a thing with them - I just haven't had the time to 'play', but I will one day LOL!!!
I'm intriqued with what you will do with those strips - better keep posted huh!
I bought a twister ruler a few months ago and haven't tried it yet. I'm excited now, thanks for posting about it! I'll try it soon.
Very beautiful pictures by the way, I love what you are doing and love the pink!

It is so pretty, love your pink fabrics. I am so addicted to the twister, in fact I have been making these tops to. So much fun. Didn't know there was a third size.
Ooooo pretty!
