Needles-n-Pins Stitcheries: Cutting Eight Half Quarter Triangles At A Time

So I am all about making my quilting processes easier. Cutting triangles can be time consuming and a hassle. I always want to get to the sewing process so cutting them faster sounds great to me! :)

Over at PatchworkPosse you can find this tutorial for how to cut eight triangles at a time. I tried and it worked great. This is my new way at doing this. :)







Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!

Colleen :)

Watermelon "Steak" Salad


With the heat of the summer season, I don't like to eat heavy protein meals all the time. Nor do I like to stand over a hot stove or grill. For a cool and refreshing salad this weekend, try Southern Living's Watermelon "Steak" Salad. The sweet and salty combo sounds perfect for a light lunch or dinner. Click on the photo above for the recipe. You can view the video below as well.




Thanks for stopping by today!
