Shooting Star
This is by Edyta Sitar. I recd a newsletter from accuquilt a few weeks ago advertising a new Qube- dies for her designs. The one she demoes was called shooting star...looked cute, but I did not want the whole Qube, maybe just that die, if price was reasonable. Turned out die not sold separately, so I went to her website as someone here mentioned a template for it. Yes, she had it for $7 + s&h, so I ordered. It came in and I tried it..... First it was smaller than I thought it would be, and kind of tricky to cut that blade shape out- even with small rotary......talked to myself a bit, watched the quick video to see if the same size, yes, it appeared to be, and wrestled a bit...just used some scraps....had to stop at 1/2 star. Had to go somewhere....so it sits in my sewing room in pieces......but, I am glad accuquilt did not have the die available as I would have impulsively bought it ....now I've only paid a fraction of that cost, so don't feel so bad, and I don't think I'll pursue more than maybe a tablerunner with this template....then it will get filed in Dumb Purchase drawer! I think I'll try msqc technique too. Just wanted to try something different.
