It was wonderful to see so many of you at the Sauder Village Quilt Show! Even though the weather did not cooperate very well that week (or any time since then) thousands of quilt lovers came out to enjoy the show and share their love of quilting and obsession for beautiful fabric! We love being caught up in the whirlwind of energy and enthusiasm as we all learn from each other! If you weren’t able to attend this year’s show, you can see the winning quilts on our website at 
The Twister demonstration table was a very popular spot during the 2011 show; so much so that we couldn’t keep the two sizes of the ruler in stock. If you were hoping to purchase a Twister (using 10” squares) or Lil Twister (using 5” squares) and we were sold out, we now have a good supply and will be happy to get one into your hands. For those of you who like to work in a smaller scale, Primitive Gatherings has come out with the Primitive Pinwheels which is the same technique but starts with a 3 ½” square. The Itty Bitty Primitive Pinwheels starts with a 2 ½” square and finishes at just 1 inch! 
Since the show, we’ve rearranged the shop again to make room for two new hutches; one is filled with charm packs, layer cakes and rolls of 2 ½” strips, and the other is brimming with printed fabric panels of children’s cloth books, crib quilts, pillow panels and wall quilts. Stop in and see these new lighted displays that make it so much easier to find the perfect panel or precut fabric for your next project. 
Fabulous Fabric
As quilters we use our fabric scissors all the time and we know the value of a good sharp pair. We’ve been looking for a method to keep our shop scissors sharp and have found a simple, inexpensive tool by Fiskars that bring scissors back to their original edge. Small enough to fit inside your pocket, it works on both right and left-handed scissors. Simply insert scissors into the sharpener, with the ceramic rod in between the blades. Draw the scissors toward yourself in a cutting action, applying gentle pressure. Repeat several times as needed to restore the cutting edge.
Turn ordinary quilts into extraordinary with a simple ruler that works wonders! Cut the corners to create truly dynamic quilts. The Cutting Corners Ruler designed by Sharyn Craig gives you the simple and accurate measurements to eliminate a corner from a block, a square, rectangle or triangle, while leaving the seam allowance on the remaining piece. Just add another fabric (pieced or not) and turn plain blocks into complex beauties! Use it in blocks, sashings or to create amazing setting triangles. The clear step-by-step instructions included in a 16 page booklet will show you how! 
color pictures and each pattern gives instructions for multiple sizes of quilts from Baby to Queen/King. Dot Party features raw edge appliqué for a simple, yet visually graphic, eye-catching quilt. With the ease of pre-cut 2 ½” strips you can create Hugs & Kisses, a star crossed lovers quilt. The Lazy Angle Ruler makes this quilt simple to cut, but you could also make your own plastic templates instead of using the special ruler.
