Helpful Notion Used for the Pattern
To streamline the process of sewing the snowballed quilt pieces, we recommend using the Grid Glider. This ingenious notion will make quilting the Bunny Ear Blvd pattern even more enjoyable.
The Grid Glider is a novel sewing notion that significantly enhances accuracy and ease in quilting tasks. Crafted to streamline the process of seam allowance and snowballing quilt blocks, the Grid Glider brings a level of simplicity not typically experienced in the craft. One of its major features is its inherent ability to eliminate the necessity for marking diagonal lines. This is achieved through the use of the grid lines imprinted on the glider, which facilitate precision and efficiency in chain piecing. This remarkable tool transforms quilting into a more accessible and enjoyable art form, offering an improved and smoother sewing experience.

April 2023 Quilt Block Club Sponsor – Oliso
We extend our gratitude to our sponsor for this month, Oliso, for their generous support.
Oliso offers a range of smart irons, and their Large Oliso Iron is a must-have for quilters looking for a high-quality and efficient ironing experience. This month, Oliso offered a full size Smart Touch TG1600 Pro Plus Iron. The winner was able to pick the color they wanted. How exciting!
Oliso is a great place to find things that can make your sewing and quilting projects a lot smoother. They have a really cool range of products. One of their best things is their ironing technology. It’s pretty advanced and can really make ironing a breeze. Plus, they’ve got other handy tools too. Think of a smaller, portable iron for those quick fixes or wool pressing mats that make handling fabric easier. And that’s just the start – there are many other tools that can make your sewing room more complete. If you have some time, why not take a peek at their website? You might just find a tool or two that could become your new favorite.
