Here are some more quilts that were on display at a Stampin' Up! Leadership Conference. These are made with the 113439 Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine and the Bigz dies.
Aren't these incredible works of art? If you have any questions on which Bigz dies were used with these quilts, let me know.

I love wrapping myself in a warm, worn quilt. Handmade quilts = love and comfort to me. My maternal grandmother was a quilter. My mother did some quilting. My sister quilts. I have made one quilt in my life and it took me over two years to complete it. I should mention that it was one of those quick strip Log Cabin quilts. Even though I'm not a quilter, I have sewn for many years, and appreciate the time and talent that goes into making a quilt.
Did you know the 113439 Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine can be a quilter's best friend? Depending on the fabric, the Big Shot can cut up to eight layers of fabric at one time. Any of the Bigz dies can cut fabric. Here are some quilts that were on display at a Stampin' Up! Leadership conference.

Did you know the Sizzix Big Shot die cutting machine can cut fabric? I saw these pillows at a stamp meeting and asked the demonstrator how she made these. She said that she saw these styles of pillows in some catalogs. They were too expensive for her checkbook, so she decided to figure out how to use her Sizzix Big Shot dies to make them. Both pillows are made with pillow forms covered in felt.
She adhered the 122194 Big Shot Fabric Adhesive Roll to the white felt. Then she put the white felt in the Big Shot using the 113464 Serif Essentials Alphabet Dies for her three initials. Then she ironed the three initials onto the blue felt. She cut numerous flowers from the 118871 Island Floral Die. She cut out circles from the 122194 Big Shot Fabric Adhesive Roll and adhered them to the center of the flowers. Then she ironed the flowers onto the edges of the pillow.
For this pillow, the demonstrator purchased felt that had a slight embossed design in it. She cut flowers from the 115970 Flower Folds Bigz SL die. She adhered the flowers on the pillow by sewing a button in the center.
Aren't these pillows amazing?

I made matching t-shirts for the three grandgirls. I used the fabric that was in the Holiday Mini Catalog for the flowers. I ironed the fabric with the 122194 Big Shot Fabric Adhesive Roll. Then I cut the fabric and adhesive using the 115970 Flower Folds Bigz XL Die. I ironed a flower on the front of each t-shirt and sewed 119747 Brights (Real Red) Designer Buttons in the center. I also made matching hair pretties on hair clips, so they can also clip them to a headband.. They wore their matching outfits for my birthday party. I have a frame where I put an annual picture of the three of them together. Getting the three of them to sit still is quite a chore. If you have any questions on how to use the 113439 Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine with fabric, please contact me. It is so easy to do.
