How many rulers do you own that you haven’t really used yet? And some are still sitting in their packaging! The “demonstrators” make everything look so easy! Or have you wanted to try a ruler without buying it to make sure you like it? Or are you looking for help to get the easiest and most accurate way to make any blocks. Trim tool rulers are the answer!

We’ll make 4 Cat’s Cradle blocks, 2 Log Cabin blocks – regular [and for the speedy stitchers you can also make 2 of the optional Curvy Log Cabin], plus we’ll make a flock of perfect Flying Geese using the easiest “2 squares of fabric = 4 geese method”. Then we’ll do 2 Pineapple and 2 Square in a Square [with an optional 2 Snail Trail version] plus 4 Half- Rectangle blocks, a very useful block. All blocks will end up as 8” finished so they can be used in a Sampler quilt later.

We’ll have stations set up for each type. You work at your own pace, so everyone is happier. You can either try one of my rulers or bring your own. You’ll learn all the tricks, tips and products to be successful, accurate and not frustrated in all your “block work”! So much fun!
