New Sizes of Creative Grids® Rotary Cutting Mats

You asked and we listened. This Spring, Creative Grids® will add a rotating and a studio size cutting mat to their product line.

The Creative Grids® rotary cutting studio mat is self-healing and double-sided. This mat is a great choice as a table mat inside your quilt shop or studio. Our 5 layer cutting mat gives you two cutting surfaces and two separate layers of self-healing material. The second side is printed just like the first, doubling your cutting area. Both sides feature 1 inch grid with 1/8 inch markings. Work from either side of this studio sized mat. One set of numbers run across the 58 inch side and up the 28 inch side on the left just like our smaller rotary cutting mats. If you want to work from the other side of the table, the numbers on that side will be right side up doubling your cutting options. Numbers are printed inside of the grid area, giving you more grid to work with. 1/8, 1/4, 1/3, 3/8, and 1/2 yard cuts all the way up to 1-1/2 yards are marked for easy reference from both sides. 45 and 60 degree diagonal lines are included and start at zero in opposite corners. .

The Creative Grids® rotating cutting mat makes squaring up blocks up to 14 inches easy and efficient. Rotating mat is self-healing, and rotates a full 360º. Marked with a 1 inch grid that includes 1/8 inch markings along with 45 and 60 degree angled lines. White horizontal and vertical lines cross in the center of the rotating mat making it easy to trim embroidered blocks to size. Numbers are printed facing the outside of the rotating mat on all four sides with matching numbers across the mat. No matter which side you’re working from, you’ll always have a set of numbers to read that are right side up. Non-slip base gives you a stable cutting surface and is light-weight for taking along to retreats. This rotating mat is perfect for working with any of our Creative Grids® Trim Tools and Rulers. Simply trim, rotate the mat, and trim again.

New from Hatched and Patched

I love Anni Downs and her quirky style. The combination of embroidery, applique, and simple piecing tick al of the boxes. Isn’t it nice to have some handwork when it gets dark at 5:30?

Where Wildflowers Grow is a fat quarter friendly quilt. You need an assortment of 19 fat quarters, a background fabric and binding. It is 54″ square – a perfect lap quilt or add some easy borders to make it larger. There are 10 applique blocks to create (with a little bit of stitchery), along with simple piecing to make it a truly relaxing quilt to make.

Where Wildflowers Grow

Everyone loves a small project to get that instant feeling of completion. This little pouch is great for a weekend getaway, with a little needle-turn applique, a little stitchery and a little paper-piecing. The front of the pouch has a fun little flowerpot filled with daisies and the word ‘Simplify’ You could always change the word to house someone’s name or something more apt. The back is hand-pieced using simple hexagons. It is completed using a zipper which has been put in totally by hand.

Daisy Do Pouch

Anna needed a new tote, which is often the reason why new projects come into being. This bag is the perfect size, at 12″x16″, big enough to fit papers and patterns, water bottle and everything else I need for my day, without it being too large and cumbersome to carry. This bag has a needle-turn applique image on the front which is finished with a ric rac border. The back of the bag boasts a pocket, and the gussets and base have an interesting pieced finish with ties to gather the gussets a little, and finish it off perfectly.

Signs Of Spring Bag

All three patterns are due to arrive this month, just in time for those cold, snowy nights.

A Perfect Holiday Make It/Take It

It is that time of year when customers come in looking for a simple project that they can make for all of their friends. Well, this year Cut Loose Press has you covered! This new pattern by Merry May is made with one tea towel and 1″ side webbing for the handles.

Tea Towel Tote Bag

The tea towel is given added body by using fusible Shape-Flex. Since the tea towels edges are all finished, the bag is fast, easy and professional looking. Add the side pocket (or not) and make the wrapping a part of the gift!

These tea towels by Dunroven come in a multitude of colors and designs. I chose just a few in Christmas colors:

Tea Towel Polka Dot Bright Red
Tea Towel, Printed Polka Dots on Lime Green

The 1-inch webbing used for the handles comes in a variety of colors as well. I chose a couple that would look great as contrasting colors on the towels above.

Polypro Webbing 1in x 25yds Red
Polypro Webbing 1in x 25yds Lime

Be sure to have plenty of Shape-Flex on hand because they will definitely want to make more than one!

Shape Flex Woven Cotton Pellon 20in x 25yds

This would be a great, affordable make it/take it for your Christmas open house. Or demo it next year. It is a great bag year round or can give them a start for next year!
