Have 10 minutes today? Let’s take one small step toward making your next appliqué project easier. 💛

Watch the True Grips video, then put True Grips on all your templates. They help keep your templates from slipping while you cut, so you can cut with more confidence.

You don’t have to tackle a whole quilt today. Getting your tools ready counts as progress, too!

Tell us below when yours are ready—or if you’ve already done this, give yourself credit for being prepared!

🧵 FREE APPLIQUÉ SCHOOL STARTS TUESDAY!

Curious about appliqué? Love it already but want to build your skills and confidence? Come join me for three fun days of Appliqué School!

We start Tuesday, September 22, and you can join me LIVE at either:

⏰ 11:00 AM Eastern
⏰ 6:00 PM Eastern

The content is the same at both sessions, so choose the time that works best for you.

Over our three days together, we'll explore:

🍃 Day 1: Rotary Cut Appliqué — discover how I cut beautiful appliqué shapes with a rotary cutter instead of scissors!

🪡 Day 2: Hand Appliqué — we'll take a closer look at this beautiful traditional technique.

✨ Day 3: Quilt First, Appliqué After! — a fun approach that lets you get the quilting done first and add your appliqué afterward.

Come to one session or come to them all!

Even if you've attended Appliqué School before, you're welcome to join us again. Sometimes seeing a technique a second time is exactly what makes everything click.

My goal isn't to tell you there is one “right” way to appliqué. It's to help you explore different approaches, learn some new tricks, and discover what works best for you and the quilts you want to make.

It's FREE, it's fun, and I'd love to have you there!

🎄 Episode 4 of the Sugarplum Quilt Along is READY!

Do you remember Peaky & Spike?

This week, Sherri is showing us how she makes accurate Triangle-in-a-Square blocks—the blocks that create those beautiful star points in Sugarplum.

These units can be a little tricky, but Sherri has some great tips for getting those points right!

And there’s more than one way to do it. Sherri demonstrates the Creative Grids Triangle Squared Ruler, but we’ll also talk about other options—including using the templates that are already included in your Sugarplum pattern.

Come quilt along with us!

And tell us in the comments: Do you remember Doreen Speckmann calling these pieces “Peaky & Spike”? We’d love to know!

Are your Rotary Cut Appliqué templates sitting on a shelf?

Maybe you bought your Leaves Galore—or another one of my templates—because you were excited about everything you could make with it.

But then life happened.

Or maybe you pulled it out, made a few cuts, and realized you could use a little more help getting comfortable with it.

That's exactly why I'm inviting you to Appliqué School, September 22–24 at 6 PM Eastern.

During these three FREE live Zoom sessions, I'll demonstrate Rotary Cut Appliqué, help you build confidence using your tools, and answer your questions along the way.

I'd love to have you join me for all three sessions because we'll explore different skills each day. But if your schedule doesn't allow that, come when you can.

And if you can't attend live, register anyway. I'll send the recordings to everyone who registers.

If those templates have been waiting patiently for you, maybe September is the month to get them off the shelf and start using them!
