Double Wide Dresden
We were pleased to have Jennifer Carter of The Busy Lady Quilt Shop present our program in July. She brought products and lots of ideas to our meeting. The Double Wide Dresden Ruler is a new tool to most of us, and we loved it. Designed by Barb and Mary of Me and My Sister Designs, it will make 2 1/2 to 7 1/2 Dresden Wedges with no raw edges and a secondary star pattern in the center. (No circle to applique in the center, ladies!) Jennifer brought several Me and My Sister Designs patterns using this ruler. It was difficult to decide which to bring home -- so most of us gave in and purchased multiple patterns. Helpful Hint from Jennifer: cutting fabric strips instead of using layer cakes will result in less fabric waste.
Jennifer also brought along a terrific idea and quilt using a Christmas fabric panel. We all admire those panels, but what to do with them?? Grab up your favorite panel and The Quilt Company "Three Six Nine" pattern and let your imagination go to work. The results will surprise you. Jennifer inserted blocks from her panel into this pattern, and the results were great.
Thank you for a wonderful program.
