How to Die Cut 8 1/2" Squares:

For best cutting results, position fabric on the lengthwise grain (straight of grain) as it goes under the roller.

  • Cut 9" strips across the width of fabric. Fanfold into 9" widths. Place on selected blade and cut. Cut four squares across the width of fabric. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 16 squares.

Die Tips: 

  • With some fabrics, after cutting, a thread or two will remain where die blades meet. Snip threads with scissors. 
  • Blades on some dies are positioned at an angle.  Align fabric to edge of shape, not edge of die board. 
  • Use good quality fabric to reduce fabric stretch. 
  • It's always a good idea to test cut one shape before cutting many shapes to ensure fabric orientation is correct.

a beautiful Advent book
Format: Hardcover
This book has truly been my companion during the advent season. It has resided next to my couch, in my kitchen, by my bed, and at my crafting table. It is beautifully written and filled with ideas that will inspire rather than overwhelm, and a memoir that will bring you to tears. Lovely

Fantastic and memorable Advent companion book & cookbook
Format: Hardcover
I love this book so much! (I've now bought 3 more copies for friends and family. It's that good!) It has bite-sized little readings for each of the four weeks of Advent, then it has a bunch more content for Christmastide. It has beautiful, hand-drawn recipe pictures and quote illustrations throughout along with many excellent recipes, Advent reading lists, music recommendations, and craft ideas. I'm not a crafty person, but it did help me with ideas for decorating my Advent wreath. Additionally, I've made multiple recipes from it, and we loved them all! The baked eggs and sweet/spicy bacon and gingersnaps are fantastic. I have more recipes planned in the weeks to come. The ideas of a Christmas simmer pot for using up older fruit and cinnamon sticks is great! What I love most is the festive yet accessible and contemplative, friendly nature of the author's writings. This is a lovely gift for yourself or for others. You won't want to do ALL of the ideas in any one year, but you'll return to it year after year for new ideas and for the ones you loved from last year!

Lovely Book!
Format: Hardcover
Written as a companion to Advent and Christmastide, I could not wait until then to start reading this book. Lanier Ivester's writing is compelling and thought-provoking. Jennifer Trafton's art throughout the book is rich and beautiful. The writing and art accompanied by recipes, menus, devotional suggestions, music recommendations, and craft ideas make this a book I will be pulling out year after year. "Look now, for glad and golden hours come swiftly on the wing. O rest beside the weary road and hear the angels sing."
