Dresden Plate Template Set
Hi ,

This week we've been having a party making Dresden Plates with the new Dresden Plate Template Set! Before we get this party started, please note the template sets have gone on sale for $54.99, which is $5.00 off the usual price. The discount will continue all next month and go back to the regular price on May 1st.

So Dad has been piecing dozens of Dresden Plates together since January and I love seeing the variety of quilt blocks you can create using the templates. You can mix and match the templates in many ways to create a huge variety of Dresden Plate Quilt Blocks.

The easiest way to make a creative Dresden Plate is by changing the way the petal edges are finished.


Dresden petals
I think my favorite way to finish the Dresden Plate petal edges is by making them pointy because it's super easy to stitch and turn to make perfect points every time. This Dresden Plate quilt block was created by stitching pointy petals with Template #1 and #5.

You can use the same templates to cut petals and turn a straight edge to make an octagon, dodecagon, and a hexadecagon Dresden Plate.

This is probably the fastest way to finish the edges because you just fold over the edge and stitch them together. You can also fold over the inside edge too to create a finished edge to the inside as well.

There are so many creative ways you can make Dresden Plate Quilt blocks. What is your favorite finish? Would you like to see more tutorials on creating Dresden Plate Quilts? I'd love to hear from you!
Supreme Sliders out of Stock
Supreme Slider
I'm sorry to say we are still on back order for both supreme sliders and the larger queen size sliders. Many quilters have written in asking when we expect more in.

The answer is hopefully by next week.

We contacted the manufacturer after both of our distributors were back ordered. Turns out the special teflon for the sheets is made by only one company in the world, and there was a supply issue.

We do have an order coming in directly from the manufacturer which we hope will get in soon.

Josh and I both apologize for the wait and thank you for your patience!

So that's it for this week. I hope you are enjoying Springtime and taking advantage of the nice weather.

Let's go quilt,
