SPECIALTY RULERS August Meeting Part II

We enjoyed a separate Show and Tell during our August meeting to showcase member's work using   specialty rulers, which are available in our library.

The following quilts were made with Jaybird Quilts rulers. See http://www.jaybirdquilts.com/ for more information on rulers and patterns.

Beth used both the Super Sidekick and the Hex N More rulers to make this "Gravity Quilt " pattern.

Cindy named this quilt "Diamonds", and it is her own layout version of the "Gravity" Quilt.                       She quilted herself on her domestic machine.

This mysterious maker used the Hex N More ruler to create this stunning
"Science Fair" pattern

Nancy used the Sidekick ruler to make this colorful and fun "Giggles" pattern.

Karen dug into her scraps to make the "Disco" pattern with the Hex N More ruler.

This is one of many blocks Debbie showed us from the "Park Bench" pattern using Hex N More and Sidekick rulers.  She even created mini Park Bench blocks!  We look forward to seeing this project when all of the blocks are put together.


The following quilts were made using the Quick Curve ruler (QCR) or Mini Quick Curve ruler.  For further information, see www.sewkindofwonderful.com

Karen E. used the Mini QCR to make this "Mini Metro Rings."


Debbie began this "Chic Diamonds" pattern at retreat, and here it is beautifully finished!

Linda H. used the "Urban Abacus" pattern to create this colorful version


Karen T. made this "Urban Candy" pattern.  
That leftover fabric was put to good use in making this creative backing!


Karen E. used one of the 12 blocks available in the "Curve It Up" patterns, and modified it some to create this quilt, which was made for one of our past challenges.

Debbie showed us many blocks made using the "Curve It Up" pattern.

Linda H. made this version of  "Spring Fling," which is a FREE pattern on the website!

Using the mini QCR, Debbie made this "Mini Pumpkins" pattern, and it is almost that time of year to keep it out and display it!

We also have a "Classic Curves" ruler, which was developed by Sharon of www.colorgirlquilts.com
The incredible aspect of this ruler is the number of sizes of curves you can make with this one ruler!

Although much of this is Beth's own design, she used the Classic Curves ruler to create those wonderful curves that add so much movement to this quilt.  Beth designed this for our recent Color Challenge.

Members are welcome to check out any of our specialty rulers and make their own version of many amazing patterns available on the above three website links.  You may see rulers that we have accessible in our library by clicking on the library link on our blog home page.
