Anna Csurke is one of my Craftsy students and she and I correspond back and forth quite a bit on her special projects. She recently acquired the Ultimate Borders and Ultimate Shapes and sent me a sketch of the 18" wholecloth quilt she will be creating with those. She gave me permission to share with all of you!

She wrote an article about her experience and I just knew you would enjoy it...
My two 20-stencil sets of Ultimate Backgrounds and Ultimate Borders have been sold in "complete sets" and are a bit on the pricey side. Stencils are not cheap and they are expensive for me to have made. I've received requests from students, quilting instructors and on-line customers to offer the stencils in separate, smaller packages and I think it's a GREAT idea! I am offering the Ultimate Stencils in two separate packages, i.e., the Circle Stencil/Transparency and the Square Stencil/Transparency. They are still being sold as a complete set.
