Did you know Olfa is celebrating 35 years? It’s hard to believe. I actually used Olfa cutters while working at a fabric store called “Cloth World” during the 80’s (I know…I’m dating myself). At the time I wasn’t a quilter, but it was pretty fun demonstrating how the blade could accurately cut through so many layers of fabric at once!
If you fast forward to today…I can’t
imagine my life without my Olfa cutter, and the new Splash version is my
absolute favorite!
In celebration of a wonderful 35 years, the folks at Olfa would like to give an Olfa rotary cutter and mat to one of my readers (US only please). See below for how to enter.
Also, I was able to make a quilt block for Olfa commemorative anniversary quilt featuring the color…yellow, of course…so fun!
So…to enter the giveaway just leave a comment mentioning your must make project before the end of summer. That’s it. I’ll keep the giveaway open through Saturday evening.
I’ll be back soon to share what I’ve been working on this week. Thanks so much for stopping by!

My goal is to finish a few small quilts for the organization Quilts for Kids and some other simple ones to donate to a local nursing home.

Oh, if I could only earn a living by sewing!

I must make myself finish a jelly roll quilt I started this winter. It is in pieces all over my sewing room because when I put the blocks together, I must have trimmed some of them smaller than the rest. They don't fit together well, so I need to trim them to the same size. The rotary cutter has made this MUCH easier!
Sandy A
PS…I remember Cloth World and even sometimes call another fabric store by that name! 🙂
