We hope you've enjoyed seeing all of the projects created for our newest fabric collection, Wine Country. These beautiful fabrics are inspired by our corporate colors. Fresh purples and rich, spring greens combine for an elegant collection.
We introduced a brand new BlockBuster to coincide with this release. BlockBuster #118 Entangled uses the Nine Patch Square Up®, Rapid Fire® Lemoyne Star, and Tucker Trimmer® III tools along with the Backslash technique sheet to create a unique chain style block.
Several of our Certified Instructors chose Wine Country fabrics to make this block. We challenged them to make it their own and they rose to that challenge! From color placement to different Lemoyne Star techniques and borders, each one used the same Entangled block and came up with a completely unique project.

Two of our Certified Instructors also designed quilts just for this collection. Anna's Vineyard by Tina Dillard of Quilting Affection Designs uses our Wedge Star® tool and Compound Wedge technique to create intricate Wedge Star blocks. It showcases the Wine Country fabrics beautifully!
Tucker University designed Wine Trails. It features our Rapid Fire® Lemoyne Star tool and the Blooming Lemoynes technique. This quilt doesn't have any curved piecing! The grape vines are formed by using the star points of the Lemoyne Star positioned in a simple four patch unit. The lush purple and green fabrics complement the design nicely.
That's a wrap for our Wine Trails event! This beautiful collection designed by Deb for Island Batik by Lumin Fabrics is arriving in shops now.
If you've listened to me talk for any amount of time, I'm sure you've heard me talk about my "CI's" or Certified Instructors. Usually, I give a brief description of what that is, but today? Today I'm going to give you the whole spiel, because it's time to start accepting applications for my annual Certified Instructor Training!
Our BlockBuster library is a free resource that is designed to help you make the most of your Studio 180 Design tools
