Winner at the AQS show in Lancaster!
My Amish Bars and Four Patch won an Honorable Mention in the category
"Grand Geometrics in the Amish Tradition."

It was fun to update this traditional style quilt by quilting it with my Statler Stitcher.
We have added new Basic Shapes templates to our line of quiltmaking
tools. I've used these for years in my Focus on Fabric workshop. It's a
great way to create a one-of-a-kind wall quilt. Piece a simple
background and capture the  featured image in a shape that will be
easy to applique by hand or machine.

There are 5 basic shapes available; each will lend a different mood to
your design. Each shape is offered in 7 or 8 sizes, giving you many
options for creative design - even miniature work.

Take a look at our
Quilting Templates page to see how I use them.
Our Mini Fans & Shells is Back!
This little tool has been out of stock for almost a year, and many
quilters have been asking for it, so we've finally brought
it back.   Mark clamshells in two sizes for hand or machine
quilting, or use it to draw curved lines for Baptist Fan.
Look here for details and design inspiration.
Point to Point Triangle Patterns
We're excited to share a new line of patterns designed by my
son-in-law, Scott Perdue. Scott is fairly new to Autosketch, but
his doodles really caught my fancy.  We've added 20 new Point to
Point Triangle patterns to the digitized pattern page. You'll also
find 6 tutorials on how to use them to fill setting triangles,
squares, borders, or entire quilts.
Patterns can be ordered individually or as a full set.
Enjoy!
