It’s finally here! The much anticipated big project I have been working on for several months: The Classic Curves Ruler. You know I love curved piecing in quilting and I have a drawer overflowing with templates to prove it. Last year I had an idea to make a tool that would simplify the cutting for curved piecing. I wanted a tool that would allow me to throw out all those templates and not make any more!
The Classic Curves Ruler is my first product release that is not a quilt pattern, and I couldn’t be happier to share it with quilters. I want to teach everyone to sew curves. I want to be your favorite designer for curved pieced quilts!
The CCR allows you to cute curved shapes in ten (ten!!) sizes, from 4″ to 8 1/2″. The basic shape is a quarter circle, so that means you can create designs with quarter circles, half-circles, Pac-Man, and full circles. The great thing is that you can do so much more! I have made quilts with Orange Peel shapes, arcs, and rings. That makes the CCR a super fun and useful addition to the quilting toolbox.
The quilt top above is the first project I made with the CCR. I actually made this with the cardboard prototype that I made to see if my design idea would work. Don’t you love the apple core shapes?
This weekend I am at Quilt Market presenting my patterns and the Classic Curves Ruler to sewing industry folks (quilt shop owners). I am hoping to get them stocked in your local stores. The Ruler will go on sale on my website here next week. In the meantime, I will be sharing a bunch of the quilts I have made with the CCR and the brand new patterns coming out to go with it.
Help me stay energetic during Market! Tell me what you think about the CCR in the comments here. (-:

I love your patterns, so this will be a great addition!
Great quilt project. Congratulations on your first quilt tool. I love to see your creations.
What a beautiful quilt and a really useful ruler! I can’t wait to buy it!
Like you, I love the idea of one ruler able to work for several cuts. This, I think will be great and pair down the drawer.
Sounds like a winner to me! Congratulations on finding your niche!!
Love the quilt above. Can’t wait to try out the ruler.
Beautiful quilts! I especially love first quilt there, it’s just stunning. I’m terrified of curved piecing, and I wish I can do it better so I can make beautiful things like this … A big congratulations on the ruler!
Sounds intriguing–especially if you can use the ruler to make the Dresden-type quilt on the right!!!
Huge congrats! What an amazing tool!!
I hate having to make templates so a ruler is a great idea. Love your quilts
Way to go, (color) girl! I’m excited to try your ruler????
Best wishes for industry orders!!
Totally awesome Sharon!!! Congratulations and wish you much success. Can’t wait to get mine!
Thank you so much Tammy! You will make amazing things!
I’m super excited. I feel a Drunkards Path coming on.
