New Bobbin Organizers

Dritz is releasing the bigger bobbin boat in early March. Since the original was so popular, I thought I should tell you now so you can place your order.

Keep your size M bobbins shipshape with the Dritz bigger bobbin boat, a compact storage solution that will ensure bobbins remain neatly stowed and tangle-free. 3 Pack. Size: 4-7/8″ x 1-1/4″. Each bobbin holds 10 size M bobbins. Curved interior “hugs” bobbins securely in place.


The original is still a top seller. The Dritz Bobbin Boat is compact enough to slip into the side pocket of a rolling sewing machine tote or throw into a small sewing basket, all while keeping bobbins neat and tidy. Holds ten class 15 or class 66 bobbins.

The bobbin boats are available in three packs, individually or as a counter display. Check our website for more details.

New from Deb Heatherly and Cut Loose Press

What a great scrap quilt! Just 12 fat quarters or 3 yards of scraps, plus the borders, binding and backing is all you need to create this stunning quilt.

Deb lives in the Great Smoky Mountains and says that in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, this was called a postcard quilt because quilters used a postcard for the template to cut the pieces for this quilt. Don’t you love that little bit of history? Now the Creative Grids® 3 ½” wide ruler make cutting these pieces easy as pie!

What a great scrap quilt! The quilt is made with just two alternating blocks. Since one of those blocks is the hourglass or quarter-square triangle, the alternating pieced four-patch block looks like they are set on point. This adds a dramatic element to the quilt that is oh sew easy to achieve!

Another great scrap quilt! Just 12 quarter yard cuts or 3 yards of scraps, plus the four B’s: background, borders, binding and backing is all you need to create this stunning quilt. Since the points are made with the Creative Grids® Strippy Star Tool, they float so every point is perfect, every time. The Creative Grids® Cat’s Cradle Tool is used to make the nine-patch variation in the center of each block. What a great way to learn how to use both tools and make an heirloom quality quilt along the way!

Don’t you love the way Deb has extended the star points into the middle border?

New from Cut Loose Press® Patterns

Many of you already have these top-selling Creative Grids® Tools. Check out these latest patterns that showcase the potential of these tools.

This stunning example of a stained glass quilt uses a technique that is pure genius. Clover Fusible Bias Tape creates the stained glass affect so there are no tiny strips to sew into the blocks! This dramatic look is easy to achieve, even for a beginner.

Since the blocks are cut from twenty, ten-inch squares, rotary cutting is fast and easy so you can move onto the piecing in a matter of minutes.

This pattern requires the Creative Grids® Scrap Crazy 8 template set.


This quilt is a great way to use up leftover 2-1/2-inch strips. Combine them with some solid fat quarters to create blocks that showcase the wonky design. The inserted squares in the border add a modern look to an already striking quilt. The pattern includes cutting instructions for the logs to best utilize the fabric. Since the wonky log cabin blocks finish to 10-inches, you only need to make 12 blocks so you can finish the entire project in an afternoon.

This pattern requires the Creative Grids® 10″ Wonky Log Cabin Trim Tool.


This mini quilt is all about color placement. Reversing the traditional lights and darks in the pineapple block accent the pineapple design. Placing the same fabrics in adjoining blocks creates the pattern. And the white space created when it is all sewn together creates a backdrop to showcase some amazing quilting!
Since the strips are 1-1/4-inches wide, cutting a 2-1/2-inch strip in half vertically is a great way to use up those leftover strips in your collection.

This pattern requires the Creative Grids® Pineapple Mini Tool.

The strips were cut using the white line down the center of a Creative Grids 2 1/2″ wide rectangle.

New Tools to Improve Cutting


These RulerLips from Cotton Mills slip onto the end of most 1/8” thick acrylic rulers turning them into a T-Square. The lip rides along the edge of the cutting mat stabilizing the ruler and preventing slipping while cutting. They can be used on a variety of ruler sizes and can also be used to connect rulers. Each package contain two 6” RulerLips. To remove simply pull it off.

The Ruler Knob easily attaches to almost any smooth flat top ruler with its powerful clear suction cup. This 1-3/4″ suction cup makes ruler pickup and placement easy. It not only helps steady the ruler, it also keeps your hands away from the rotary blade.

For best results wipe ruler and suction cup clean before use. Moisten suction cup for maximum hold. Both products are due to arrive later this month so place your orders now.

With our aging population, I am thrilled that S.A Richards continues to develop products that make it possible for us to continue to enjoy our hobbies that bring us so much joy. The new PROP-IT Needlework Pattern Holder with Hands Free Page Magnifier enlarges text to twice it size!

This collapsible, portable pattern/book/chart holder can display, magnify and highlight–at the optimum reading angle–any printed or digital pattern or chart for embroidery, needlepoint, cross stitch, knitting/crochet & quilting.

The PROP-IT’s Magnet Board and moveable magnetic strips enable one to highlight pattern details by placing the Magnet Board behind the pattern and the Magnetic Strip(s) on the pattern (see above photo). To doubly ensure that nothing in a pattern is missed, the PROP-IT includes a patented 2-Power, HANDS-FREE 8in x 10in Page Magnifier that doubles the size of pattern details. Now you can easily follow the details of ANY embroidery pattern found in books, magazines, sheets of paper, tablet computers and smart phones!
