Creative Grids on-line source

Hi all…. a brief diversion from the nativity quilt…

After I posted about using the circular Creative Grids plastic templates last week, Joan Hawley of Lazy Girl Designs surfed in to read and wrote to tell me of an on-line retail source for the complete line of Creative Grids products. You can find them at www.creationssewclever.com. I’ve never ordered from them, but if Joan recommends them, they are OK! In the picture below, the solid circle on the right is one of Creative Grids. I also love and use their rulers (including the massive, expensive and worth-it 20 1 /2 inch square ruler) all the time–I think the 3 1/2 x 18 1/2 inch ruler is the most used, with the 6 1/12 x 24 1/2 inches ruler coming in second most-used.

Since many of my readers are, I expect, art quilters and not frequent denizens of their local quilt shops’ pattern racks, you may or may not have heard about Joan. Her company, Lazy Girl Designs, is one of the most successful lines of patterns in the quilting business! They are really fun to make (addictive?) bags (and also quilts and accessories), and her patterns are (unlike mine I fear?) straightforward, easy to make and to give. I keep promising myself that despite my perpetual urge to “do my own thing” I’m going to make a Gracie bag (click on the link and scroll down ’til you see the Gracie)! I also expect that once you see the patterns you’ll recognize them. Click on this link to see a gallery of bags other folks have made…as you can see, you can get pretty creative with them. And if youire really hooked on Joan’s patterns, you can even join her yahoo group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lazygirldesigns/ .

Not affiliated…just like her patterns!
