The GO, which I have given the name Colleen, arrived in the mail around noon. I was thrilled to see that huge box, and I immediately tore into it. Colleen arrived in tip top shape. I unpacked the GO first. I was thrilled to see three sets of mats in there: the long 10"x24", 10"x 10", and the 6"x12". Then, in addition to the three dies that I got which were the Dresdens, tumbler, and apple core, I also got one more free die called the value die, which included the two and a half inch square, four and a half inch square and 2" half square traingles. So, that was an extra die that I didn't expect. What a nice surprise!
What's also really neat is that each die comes with a pattern showing a project you can make with it.
I immediately tried to cut out the value dies, and boy did I get fast cuts, and it was easy peasy.
Hope you enjoy the pics. I will be doing a demo this weekend on the Dresdens, which is a huge die, as you can see by the pic, and takes the long 10"x24" cutting mat. It should be a fun tutorial.
I am tickled pink, and I immediately sent a thank you email to Carolyn Robinson of AccuQuilt, as she has just been wonderful and so helpful! I do believe this is the beginning of some luck for me, and I did tell Carolyn that while I thanked her profusely.
The GO really is a wonderful machine...I can't wait to show you the demo, so you can see how easily it cuts everything...It really is a breeze!
Well, gotta GO...off to make dinner. Have a wonderful rest of the day!

MICKI DEAREST! What a fabulous gift to receive! I would LOVE to have one of these! There are so many crafts that I want to do, but my first choice at the time is a sewing machine! I WANT TO SEW AGAIN! ANd....dearest, what a sweet visit from you, all the way from your lovely part of the world....my husband AS WELL has given me so much and also the appreciation of WALKING TOO! We have walked thousands of miles together and laugh, talk, observe nature and here in our little city of Minneapolis, we have a lot of bunny rabbits! So we count them on our walks. We love to go to the many beautiful lakes and watch the people and dogs! And all because HE introduced me to walking. Enjoy every moment of it and thank you for your kind words.....Anita
Looking forward for your demonstration!
Congrats on winning the Go cutter Micki! Looks like you'll be having lots of fun. Just wanted to stop in and say thanks for becoming a follower and good luck. I'll be announcing the F&F winner later today.
This is just too exciting, Micki!
I hope you and Colleen are bonding. Glad to hear she made it to Ireland without any mishaps. Jane
