New from Tamarinis

Plant your own mid-century modern feeling forest – either as a table runner or a lovely lap quilt. Each paper piecing project uses simple paper piecing to create a fresh, modern feel. Projects are shown in fabrics from the Chalk Textures collection for Benartex. Quilt finishes at 46″ x 60″; table runner finishes at 12 1/2″ x 32″.


Chase Again offers a fun new approach to the traditional Flying Geese units. Large and small Flying Geese chase each other around two different blocks. A rich print background is the perfect backdrop for this fresh modern quilt. Use the Studio 180 Wing Clipper (easy and accurate!) or the popular no-waste flying geese method to make multiple flying geese units quickly!

Celebrate the season with a charming paper pieced small lap quilt and a wall hanging that can mark each night of the holiday with a button on candle flame. Projects are shown in Michael Miller’s Hanukkah Oh Hanukkah Collection. Lap quilt is 41″ x 54″, and wall hanging is 26″ x 32″.

Rich floral prints combine in a tantalizing combination of color and spice in this easy, large two block quilt. Fabric requirements and instructions are provided for two size options: 72″ x 72″, or 75″ x 98″.

These patterns are due to arrive early next month so place your orders now.

The Perfect Beginner Quilt

From Cut Loose Press® by Rachelle Craig, Havenwood is the perfect beginner class or project! Just about every inch of the fabric is used in this quilt. Grab forty-2 1/2-inch strips (or cut your own), a background fabric and you are ready to go. Kitting not required!

Turning every other block creates the modern off-set look that gives this quilt its style.

The cover quilt is made with Pearl Splendor by Benartex. Or, cut your own strips with the Creative Grids® Stripology XL Ruler.

The 2-1/2″ slits are marked with squares – can’t get any easier than that! What a great way to use up scraps.
