We’re Baaackkk!
We just got back from the Brother Convention and have so much to share with you. Be sure to sign up and attend the What’s New Party. But first, it’s time for August Sew Fun! Here’s a preview of a couple of the projects we’ll be seeing.
Wedge Quilt Workshop
A quick path to a bold quilt design, wedges are versatile and captivating—a must-have shape in the modern quilter’s toolbox. Expertly piece this trendy and versatile shape without complicated math or drafting. You’ll be amazed at the wide variety of quilts that can be made from a single shape!
See best-selling author Christina Cameli’s unique take on wedge quilts. Go”beyond the round,” adding squares and diamonds to the mix, with full-size patterns. Learn wedge basics, how to add center circles, trimming for accuracy, and improv piecing. Find out how to accurately cut and sew wedges with tips to keep them lying flat. Discover new ways to use a wedge. Create trendy quilts using wedges pieced into traditional full circles, half circles, and squared-off blocks.
The book contains 10 stunning projects with step-by-step tutorials and full-sized pullout templates.
You also get two reproducible design sheets for planning 9 and 10 degree round quilts. These are so beautiful, you’ll want to make them all, and can do that without worrying about math or drafting.
