Day Three of IHAN's 30 Day Anniversary Celebration!!!
Meet Brint...aka "The Scissor Man" from Famore Cuttlery (Specialty Products).
This is me attempting to steal Brint's Apron. I told him at Spring Quilt Market that he should handcuff himself to his apron because one day I was going to steal it. By Fall Quilt Market, I had gathered enough moxy and just reached out and grabbed it....unfortunately he had more help so he won....this round. (Trust me....I may have lost that battle....but I'm not down for the count....I can float like a butterfly and sting like a bee....I'm Kelly Ali)
Fortunately for me, both Brint and Michaelann, understand I have a thing for scissors and they are very forgiving. I call his apron "Scissor Porn." (They both agreed not to press charges if I were to seek help for my Porn Addiction...but I just have not found the appropriate group...anyone know of any resources for this type of recovery?") (Another Lie)
These are the Fine Point 4 1/2 " Scissors by Famore Cuttlery. They are wonderful scissors. The tips are fine and sharp so they are great for detail work, applique, and "un-sewing."
With Sandy's permission I am publishing her unsolicited comment:
I get this response from may customers who buy these scissors. The Quality and Price can't be beat!!!Hi Kelly,
I had my side of the family Christmas brunch yesterday and gave the nifty little scissors. My sister , the expert quilter of the family, gave them the once over when she opened them.When she got home she tried them out on a purse she had made and called raving about how great they were. IF they passed her test we scored.
Thank You again , Kelly
Always,
Sandy Johnson
This baby is my most favorite seam rip of all time. The Famore Seam Ripper 5 1/2in comes with 3 replacement blades. Not 1, not 2, but 3 replacement blades!!! I have yet to replace a blade and I use mine for everything. I know some folks are afraid of the surgical steel blade....why? They use rotary cutters Right? Just give it the proper respect and mindful use and it is just as safe as a rotary cutter. Price and Value....again....can't be beat!!
So, you probably want to know how you can win these Scissors and Seam Rip (Excellent Porn) right? You need to leave a comment (no-reply bloggers won't be counted) telling me why you think you should have these scissors. I want some real honesty here....not just because "I" say they are great. I already know they ROCK....I want to hear why they sound interesting to you personally.
There have been some updates to the Anniversary Celebration (rules and regs. so to speak) so please check here for updates :)
Naughty Smiles,
Kelly
