04 Nov New Jenny Haskins Designs
What’s New?
We have four new Jenny Haskins design sets. The newest design set is Sandy Orient Express. This beautiful quilt was made by a good friend of Jenny’s. It is a perfect quilt for anyone that has never quilted before! All the embroidered appliqué use Jenny’s embroidered-decoupage technique so there is no chance of not having a perfectly beautiful quilt.
- Quilt-a-matic – It is so easy, you do the quilting in the hoop and join the block with the Jenny-join method. What could be easier or more colorful?
- Fiesta – It’s another quilt created by Simon. If you came to Simon’s class in March at Sew-Ciety, you saw this quilt in work. This quilt is beautiful with the luscious fabric and colors used. Jenny and Simon show you how easy it is to make this beautiful quilt.
- I Need a Little Christmas – This is Jenny’s first ever holiday collection. This advent calendar incorporates Jenny’s magic quilting in the hoop, with cutting lines, so no measuring is required, Jenny-join and Jenny embroidery decoupage technique.
