A New Runner - - -JUST IN TIME FOR THE 4TH!!!! FABRIC FUSIBLES CONTINUED

I went back to JoAnn's and purchased a lighter Heat n' Bond and then I saw this Pellon Wonder Under

I have to confess that I do like having fusible on a roll.

  I know that Steam A Seam has it on a roll  but I have had to order it. Having it on the roll makes for larger projects. Heat N Bond also has it on a roll at Walmart.

I used the Wonder Under on the Red streamers.....
1. easy application
2. didn't need steam
3. no gumming on the needle

I used the Heat N Bond on the hat and stars.
1. Easy application
2. didn't need steam
3. no gumming of needle

I did find that the Heat N Bond was a little heavier than the Wonder Under.

I actually liked using both products.

  Haven't decided which one I like better, that will come with more use.

  I did not have any issues with getting the paper to come off the back so that was nice.

 

Yes, I am probably a little late with this runner but I sure love it, you can find the pattern here:

 

 

I did order some Misty Fuse from Kelly at I Have a Notion and so look forward to trying this one out.

 

It is so nice to have so many options.  At one time I would panic if I did not have Steam A Seam but those days are gone.

 

If you want to see the comments from others about some of these products go here  I enjoyed the comments, very educational!

NOVEMBER? Some fun things going on here!

I can't believe that November is HERE..... I have just one question to ask, WHERE DID OCTOBER GO?

 Well....on the 11th I am going to be giving away a Beam N Read light so do come by.

 If you want to get a jump on the holidays you can always go to "I Have A Notion", she has some in stock.

Then after you go to Kelly's hop on over to Inchworm Fabrics where you can find this fun and fast topper. You will just squeal with delight upon compeleting it.

 Oh...you don't do that? Can't imagine where I got that idea????

She also has some fun  panels that will make your Holiday giving a lot easier and certainly, FUN!

Just a reminder that she has these fabulous cut outs for this Tree by Cherry Blossom, you get to choose what fabrics you would like. Getting these cut outs make this wall hanging go sooooo fast.

 Once again...you will be squealing with delight!!

 Okay...confess...or am I the only one that jumps up and down and squeals?

Now that it is November, I truly wish I had taken advantage of those blogs that promote making gifts and gifts ideas for Dec. through out the year. I guess we all know that I am the grasshopper and not

BEAM N READ BLOG HOP....IF THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR, YOU HAVE COME TO THER RIGHT PLACE!!!

So.....I am going on a trip and I was given one of these "Beam N Read" lights to review and try out...... now I can't find it..... I am sure you have been to the other bloggers that have posted about this light and how they use it but....here is how I use mine....that is....when I can find it.

So here is a picture of what it looks like....

This is what it looks like when it is off... It has a red lens for night vision when you are switching from lighted to dark conditions.

Where is this light?

I used it to thread this needle.....boy did it make a difference. I also have the magnifying lens that fits right on it for extra help......(now some do not come with this magnifying lens so you need to be sure you know which one you want and which one you are getting).

The light in my pfaff does not work sometimes so I just put this Beam N Read around my neck (it has an adjustable strap so you can have the light where you need it most) and problem is solved. You hardly know you are wearing it, that is how light it is.

Let me see......I was reading in bed the other day......maybe it is upstairs? Hummmm where can this light be?

Can you believe that people actually make houses with no lights in the bedrooms....so I was using my Beam N Read light to see my stash. Yes, I know, it does look like a tornado blew threw.....what can I say???

I just hang that Beam N Read light around my neck and my hands are free to compare fabrics......hummmm maybe it is lost in the fabrics? Now, wouldn't you want to be a Beam N Read light now....to be lost in fabrics....oh...the smell.....the feel..... This truly is a quilters delight if it loves fabric.

So my son used it to work on his computer....I wonder if he hid it from me?

This is not a joke David.....Where is that light!!!!

I guess I need to stand in line to use it...buy why? It is my light!!!

I know I used it to give me more light in marking the center of this stitchery.....

I must have the light for my trip......it will be great to read in the car, change CD's......and if I can't sleep in the hotel I can do some stitchery and not bother anyone or walk to the bathroom without tripping over people's luggage or shoes....(now that will be a first).

Can you guess where my light was?

Give you one guess, be creative and tell me where you think I found it. As you know, I am giving away one of these lights to one of you out there. So won't you help me find it? No wrong answer...no worries about shipping.

Susan over at Hanging on by Needle and Thread is also reviewing and giving away a Beam N Read light today...so go over and see if she knows where hers is....maybe she will loan it out to me?

If you just can't wait to see if you have won one, you can always go over to Kelly's, I have a Notion and purchase one or get more info. I know there are different versions and prices, so go take a look see.

Thanks Kelly for this fun blog hop and all of you hoppers out there. A special thanks to Bob, marketing manager of Beam N Read.

Friday Patsy Thompson and Kelly at I Have a Notion are giving their thoughts on this awesome light.

I just had to add that this light truly is a delight to travel with. It doesn't take up much space, is light to have around your neck, you can adjust it to where you need the light to be and it doesn't bother anyone else in the process. I made this post before traveling in case I didn't get back in time...but I used this light on my trip and I do believe it will be my traveling companion for now on. Thinking of getting my mother one and my older friend who has trouble seeing (she will love the magnifying glass and the extra light).

I will chose a winner Saturday.

Oh...it was also great because I wanted to buy fabric in the hotel, husband was asleep, really wanted the fabric...so got my little Beam N Read out....oh yes....this Beam N Read really does like fabric, it is enabler.
