Mary's Flower Garden by Mary Henderson. Just like the gardens of yesterday, quilts of the past needed much time and effort to create. The
traditional Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt demanded a high degree of skill as well. The
traditional method also required several thousand small hexagon pieces -- each of them cut and
pieced individually.
Mary's Flower Garden is a modern version of Grandmother's. It has been made so simple through the clever use of applique' techniques and Quiltsmart's printed fusible interfacing. You’ll love it! Click on the Order Button below to order Mary's Flower Garden Printed Interfacing |

Eight Point Star by Judy Clay. The Eight Point Star is among the oldest quilt patterns dating back to the early 1800s. You may know it by another name
such as Puritan Star, Hanging Diamonds, or LeMoyne Star. In the traditional inset piecing technique, precision and
patience were the key. Eliminate inset piecing and the Eight Point Star is transformed into a pattern for the beginner's
quilt collection. Through this book, the basic concept of the eight pointed star is enhanced with a little Quiltsmart
applique magic to provide a fast and fun method. Quiltsmart's printed fusible interfacing makes it all possible! In this
book you'll find complete step by step instructions for three layouts, sizes ranging from wall hanging to king size, plus a
table runner.

Watercolor an Easy Approach by Bonny Tinling. Meet Bonny, creator of the Squares on Fusible Interfacing (SOFI) Technique. Her method is revolutionizing the way quilters sew
squares together. Beginners and accomplished quitters alike will marvel at the ease in construction, as well as in design.
You can be your own watercolor artist with Bonny's simple, clear directions and the great diagrams and color photos.
Bonny has reduced watercolor quilts to blocks. Design one block, duplicate it as many times as you need, then turn the
blocks in a variety of directions. Choose from many layouts, contem-porary or traditional. Sew your work as one piece,
not as hundreds of squares using the SOR technique and Quiltsmart's printed interfacing. Get perfectly matched
intersections every time. You will be amazed at the number of hours you will save and the results you will achieve.
Can't wait to start? First, take a look inside for tips on choosing your fabrics. Yardages are included for quilt sizes that range from a small pillow or wall hanging to a king size bed. Like a painting well framed, your quilt will be a masterpiece. |

Watercolor: On Point. Quiltsmart's specialty is printed fusible interfacing. Precisely printed
sewing and cutting lines eliminate the need for time consuming tracing.
Instruction books and booklets illustrate the Quiltsmart methods and the use of the interfacing products. We have abolished curved piecing and inset piecing, two otherwise difficult quilting skills. And, we've made child's play of watercolor construction. The finished quilts are virtually indistinguishable from the classics, but the techniques used to make them are radically different. Our patterns are designed for all quilters, from novice to expert. Click on the Order Button below to order Watercolor: On Point Printed Interfacing |
