RULER WORK - EVERYTHING'S COMING UP DAISIES & OTHER RULER WORK MOTIFS
Motifs are made with Ruler Work templates - usually templates that have a pin hole in them allowing you to
work a 360° area design (kind of like a spirograph). Many quilters like to use motifs in the background
squares of a quilt (think Irish chain - which alternates a nine-patch and a background square throughout
the quilt). Everything’s Coming Up Daisies is based on using the Westalee Daisy Template (available
through Cynthia’s).
You can choose the 5.5” Daisy or the 3-pack of Daisy motifs that include 3.5”, 4.5”, and 5.5”.
(Please call 2 weeks ahead to make sure your choice is in stock or that it can be ordered in time.) If you already have OTHER motif templates you would prefer to use, that is fine too. The class is focused on any and all motifs.
