The Ruby Beholder - this is a value finder and window template.

It is to help sort fabrics by value. It helps you see the fabrics in shadings from light to dark.

I found the Do Sew on Clotide (along with some charm packs, I didn't need for the Art Quilt).

This is the traceable foundation for me to mount my pattern pieces to in the image construction of the art quilt.
And finally, I remembered to pick up some freezer paper from the grocery store for the applique pieces.

So now I should be ready to start cutting out the pattern pieces and the initial assembly.
Also, while I was gone, my Panda Swap box arrived and Kerry out did herself! It was such an amazing swap box! wow!

Wonderful stuff in there! - fat quarters, rick rack, buttons, an awesome pin cushion, measuring cups and spoons, a pattern for a fun animal (panda) blanket and some incredible panda ribbons! But wait for it - she also made me this super panda table runner! check this out! it's cheerful and fun.

Thank you so much Kerry! I just love it.
