A magical toy for kids of all ages. Designed 60+ years ago using wood - we wish we could give credit to where it originally came from. If anyone knows, please send us the information. This pattern is available for download for a small fee. We also have kits that come with the pre-cut foam cubes needed to make the toy.

Talking Points is a block design - a zigzag every 2" gives 12 wedge shaped pieces. There are 2 ways to make the block:
1. Acrylic Template set. The template can be flipped over for the mirror version. There is a template for the block and another for the border. 2. Paper Piecing using preprinted foundation paper uniquely printed on both sides so you can make either the regular block or the mirror block from the same paper. Designing with Talking Points is fun! Flip your block, mirror it, change the colors from graduating (light to dark) or alternating (light and dark) to completely change the 'look' for totally unique results. All the samples in the slides are made with 4 blocks and 8 borders. Dramatic differences are due to fabric selection, block and border orientation and border color. |

Piece-by-Number is a like a paint-by-number but with fabric. Each piece has a letter representing the fabric and a number representing the step. Quilt-as-you-go and wrap around binding allows you to complete the project quickly. There are four placemat patterns as shown in the slides on the left. In addition there are snackmat kits - fun 5 x 8 mats that are packaged with fabric. Check back often as new patterns are added.

Most of our patterns are made with even yardage so you can buy 1 yard pre-cut pieces at shops and shows.
Many patterns also use Shortcut Sheet methods to make the individual units. These methods are fully described in the pattern instructions, specifically for the sizes needed. The Shortcut Sheet is an optional supplement to make units in different sizes. Once the method is learned, you may want to use the technique for patterns from another designer. |
