Ami has a great product that you can use for making your stencils and it's on sale right now on her website. It's called "Sticky Plastic."
Peel back the release paper to reveal the sticky side of this clear, rigid template material. Stick your original paper pattern onto the sticky plastic. Replace the release pattern and cut out the template with a regular pair of scissors. You're looking at the original as you cut, so you know it's accurate. Sold in 8.5" x 11" sheets.
By using your original pattern, you'll have a more accurate template.

There is still limited seating available for the Karen Stone Workshop at the National Quilt Museum in Paducah, March 21-23. Here's what you'll learn in Karen's Clamshell: Decorative One-Patch class:
In nutshell (or a clamshell), the class explores passion (interpretive color work and personal palette planning), improvisation (making stuff up), and execution (realizing it in fabric). And it's about empowering the quilter - you - as colorist, designer, technician, and artist.

"If you ever plan to motor west
Travel my way, the highway that's the best.
Get your kicks on Route 66!"
If you've ever wanted to travel Route 66, this is the way to go. Join Ricky and Jim West of Sew Many Places from June 16 -29, and visit a spectacular number of cities and sites including Chicago, IL, Amarillo, TX, the Grand Canyon, and Hollywood, CA! The trip will include deluxe hotel accommodations and a private motor coach and driver.
Ricky will be offering historical information during travel time each day. These special talks will revolve around the daily themes. No need to dress for the theme, but anything fun you wish to do that relates will be fun for all.
Ricky will also be offering a pattern for an original Route 66 quilt that he has designed. The blocks will relate to the locations along the way. It's a great way to commemorate this trip of a lifetime in fabric!
