BACK FROM MARKET WITH NEW TOOLS AND IDEAS

Leaves Galore is the name of the new ruler that will make your life easier. Above, Chris, owner of the Attic Window Quilt Shop, demonstrates this new tool. It comes in three different sizes. Sue Pelland has designed these new rulers to make your leaf cutting easier. These rulers are also great for cutting stems and vines, flower petals, etc. It seems there are endless possibilities. Watch Sue’s video demonstration here. Better still, stop in at the Attic Window to take a peek at all the wonderful things you can do with this new tool.

When Chris was at market she took some classes, one of which was Penny Haren’s Pieced Appliqué class. Above are the samples that Chris made. These blocks just shout "look at me" something my piecing usually does not do. Notice the sharp points and the perfect circle. I can’t wait to learn this interesting technique. Watch for an upcoming class.

The Pink Penguin has a nice tutorial for placemats. Make these quick and easy placemats out of scraps or make them out of the new summer fabrics to use on your deck or patio or to take on your next picnic or when camping.
