We know many of you have been looking for a larger Square Squared tool to make big Diamond Square units for your modern quilts or for framing your beautiful embroidery. What would you say if we said you could also use it to make Stacked Squares (like in Storm at Sea), Pineapple Blocks, Snail’s Trail Blocks, and a fancy version of a Flying Goose we call Birds of Paradise? We took oodles of the Large Square Squared tools to the quilt show in Paducah and sold out by noon on the second day of the 4 day show. Quilters have spoken, and they are already loving this tool and its versatility!
This big, two piece tool set comes with the basic instructions for making Diamond Square units that finish from 1” up to 12” in whole inch increments, and we’ll be introducing patterns and technique sheets for the additional techniques and blocks as we get them done.
With all this, if you’re itching to give it a try (and you know you are!) you can order your very own Large Square Squared here!
Boy are we excited about our next Certified Instructor Training coming up July 25 through 30! We've got a great class started with some really talented applicants. We'll be expecting great things out of this group, for sure. There are still some spots available, so if you're interested in having a great in-depth immersion into using, teaching, and demonstrating the tools to jumpstart your quilting career, don't delay!
Download the CI Training Class Information and Application here.
All of the documents are in pdf format so everyone can open them easily. If you want to apply electronically, that's fine, you can send scans of your completed forms to Sue at tuckersm180@gmail.com, or just send an email with the required information. Of course, you'll still need to send in your blocks for evaluation, but for those of you who prefer electronic and want to get your application started, no worries!
The information in the downloads should include answers to all the questions you might have, but if after you look them over there is still something you're wondering, feel free to email Sue with questions at: tuckersm180@gmail.com.
**Please note: there is a typo on the application information saying the class runs from the 24th through 29th, but actually it will take place from the 25th through the 30th**
