DreamWeaver's Quilts Studio

Welcome to the first issue of the DreamWeaver's Quilts Studio Newsletter!

Yes, DWQ Studio is the new kid on the block, and I've got some exciting new products in stock and more coming soon.

First, I have some really great news to share about the InchieSee & InchieDo Viewer Tool and Ruler Set. The tools are being manufactured by a new company, and should be in the shop and ready to order by mid-September. If you're not already on the waiting list for the InchieSee & InchieDo, visit the DWQ Studio website and sign up so you'll be the first to know when the tools are ready to ship!


Hot new products:

Hot Ribbon Art
The most recent addition to the DWQ Studio warehouse is Hot Ribbon Art, a fun, fusible ribbon for all your fabric art projects. Hot Ribbon Art is 1/8″ wide, has a heat activated adhesive on the back, and can be cut, trimmed and shaped to add shimmer and dimension to your projects. This iron-on ribbon can also be used to finish the edges of fusible applique, and can be dyed or shaded with fabric markers either before or after fusing.

I use Hot Ribbon Art on Inchies, of course! I picked up samples of a few colors when I was at Quilt Market in Houston last year, and I love this stuff! I think my favorite way to use it is to cut it up into tiny little pieces, either squares or diamonds, and fuse it to the Inchie as “confetti.” You can either apply Hot Ribbon before quilting and edging the Inchies, or after. You can sew through it by hand or machine after fusing, so you can quilt or add beads or embroidery on top of the Hot Ribbon.

Hot Ribbon Art is polyester and comes in 20 luscious colors, plus metallic gold and silver, and is sold in 2 yard packages. You can fuse Hot Ribbon to cotton fabric, polyester blends, denim, paper, cloth shoes, baseball caps, cork coasters, paper mâché boxes, wood, and other similar materials. The possibilities are endless!
