Newsletter - August 1, 2022
It Starts Today!

There is so much out there to learn. Fortunately, you don’t have to be an expert in everything to create beautiful quilts. But quick important ideas can accelerate the beauty of your quilting projects without taking a huge amount of time.

So beginning today, we want to Transform Your Quilting. Every Monday and Wednesday we will be featuring two lessons. One that is a technique from a show and the other a quick tip from some of our best instructors. That's four great ideas in one week. We will also be featuring a blog where we will keep track of all the tips and techniques for you.

The secret to great quilts isn’t to learn a thousand things, but to learn a few things and take action. What do you have to do? Make sure you are a Star Member. Then, open your newsletters and follow the links. The lessons that day will be less than 15 minutes of your time. It’s fast learning and lots of fun.
Let's start your transformation with a lesson on How to Make a 6-minute Circle with Dale Fleming (technique) Show 704 - Click on Chapter 3 and How to Clean your Design Wall with Ricky Tims (tip). Are these Freezer Paper Miracles?

Featured Quilt - Beautiful Butterfly Bliss

Continuing the thread from Transform Your Quilting, we are featuring a quilt from its inaugural teacher, Dale Fleming. Her quilt, Identity Crisis, was the cover of her book, Pieced Curves So Simple, which features her fast, easy, pinless techniques for perfect machine-sewn curves and circles. And appropriately enough, the quilt and book's cover model is a lovely butterfly, which just so happens to be the mascot of Transform Your Quilting!

Make a Fun Improv String Quilt with Teresa Duryea Wong
Stringing Up Lots of Great New Projects

Teresa Duryea Wong shares tips for making a fun and ‘low stress’ improv string quilt in our latest show. Join us as she discusses the importance of collecting a variety of shades, prints, and scales of one color for your work. Then, it’s on to cutting strips with no ruler and sewing with no ¼” seams to build less precise shapes for that bit of wonkiness.

Learn from Teresa by watching Improv String Quilts and a History of Japanese Textiles with Teresa Duryea Wong | Using Appliqué to Mask a Mistake.
