MERCI, GRAND-MERE

                                            This has always been a door stop in our home...

My Mother told me stories of when she was a little girl and saw
a few of these heating up on the "big black stove" in Grand-mere's
kitchen --then she knew it was ironing day....;))))

                        But,,,,now I have co-opted it for another use⇓⇓⇓

                      Holding my ruler from shifting when I am cutting...
                           as I can no longer press down hard enough 
                                           with my left hand...
                                    it solves that problem for me;)))

It is marked "5 lbs" and does the job beautifully....
And I love using a tool that my Grand-mere used --
                                            talk about recycling, right??;)))

*************************************************

                           Here is what I was able to cut this morning
               A "Gi-normous" pile of 2.5" squares for my next project...

As you can see above, I used my Go!Baby 2.5" strip cutter first, and 
                         then cut 4 strips doubled at one go...

                 Can you guess what I am going to attempt to make? 

*************************************
Meanwhile, yesterday afternoon, I set up side borders on my
      infamous FRANKEN-QUILT [aka Red/Pink]..;000

                             I  Measured and pinned very carefully........

                    Thanks all of you who suggested this method--
I'll admit (for shame!!) ;000--
that I have never done it this way--
                                      just sewn on the borders 
                                              willy-nilly!!👾😰 (duh!!)
************************************************
                                       I hope TGIF is good for you...
