24.01.2022 Hi, Are you the person that requested this. My new phone didn't transfer your name... I have no way of reaching you! Made with the idea of putting photos on card, cutting a jigsaw gift for family members as a small extra present. Ideal for Father's or Mother's day, Stocking fillers, or just because!

24.01.2022 Yet another, Hexagons with 3/8" finished sides. You may already have the papers, but are sick of cutting the fabric pieces. Now cut 150 or more each time you roll the fabric through the cutter.

23.01.2022 One of our latest and the pattern is ready to go. I loved sewing the sample to check everything was right... fascinating to watch it evolve! Now I want to make it using all my scraps.

23.01.2022 So many new dies to add to the website from next weekend. We have a few new dies ready to go out at the end of the week. Yes.. we are on a break, but evenings are still spent designing. Fancy having pineapples, Hibiscus, Hawaiian shirts, surfboards etc? Also dolphins whales and the Australiana will be expanded.

22.01.2022 Just decided to check on our dies that haven't been seen too much, then I read that some die cutting quilters are looking for a 3" finished Half Square Triangl...e. Along with many shapes that others pay to have made as a custom die, we have them all as normal stock... if not, we will make it! Most are not one-off designs, so are available at any time. The mat is included folks! Share this with everyone that needs to know! See more

22.01.2022 A die we had made some time ago, but I needed to test drive, is the Circle Rag die. it actually sews together beautifully. Yes, we did need to make some minor changes... but it is available now! Treat yourself. Have you heaps of old jeans waiting to be used as patches? Use them for this instead, make a bag, quilt, placemats or whatever!

21.01.2022 Hi, many of you know that we made the Morning Star die that finishes at 12" a few months ago? We have now added the Hattie's Choice die block as it also finishes at 12" and they look so good together when you alternate them. Both have clear instructions and a Layout Plan. Can't wait to make this!

21.01.2022 My website is offline. I will be back in less than 12 hours I hope, seems like the domain host has made a bit of a mistake!

20.01.2022 I have just added several new dies. The first was a new size of La Passacaglia with a 3cm base on the larger pentagon as in the original. https://www.a1craftandquilting.com.au//la-passacaglia-mand

19.01.2022 If anyone needs to talk to me.. I am away... long needed break but back in just over 3 wwwks. Please, if you have a request or a problem, email me at [email protected] or order whatever you want.... it will be dispatched in the order it came in. Thanks everyone..

18.01.2022 Do you have a cutter that can take up to 10 inch wide dies? You don't need a Studio sized cutter to make dribble cloths, just an Accuquilt GO or Sizzix Big Shot Pro, the fabric is folded in quarters and you get precise cuts, without too much expense.

16.01.2022 We have added the latest and more to come! this one has been a long time coming and adds another Australiana shape to our collection.

16.01.2022 We have a range of new strip cutters and rectangles coming out in the next day or so. All requests, filling little gaps in the die cut range. So watch this space! The whirlygig is one of them.... that will go on at the end of the week.

15.01.2022 Our next die will make a 16 1/2"inch Star block, made up from 4 quarters each measuring 81/2". The completed quilt is from 64" to the lime coloured one being 75" because of the borders. I want to make this one! I sketched it, then hunted on the internet for something similar to see if it has a name already.. it seems to be similar to the St Louis block, so I am calling it Prince Louis Block. Should be on the website by Monday evening.

15.01.2022 Want to make quick bowl cosies? This Bowl Cosy die is the perfect answer to enable you to line up the edges of fabric with batting in between. I will include a pattern in with the die, but it is so easy! The one in the cover is the first I made, it won't be the last. The squared corners are helpful to help you lift hot foods out of the microwave.

15.01.2022 Here's the next and we wonder why we never made it before. This one is based on the 10 inch paper templates that many of us have made over the years.Just lay the fabric down with the grain of fabric following the shape, and you will have the perfect Dresden... fast!

14.01.2022 We have been making loads of dies for masks... but also, the links from the designers that have given us permission to use their design allows you to download the pattern as well as the instructions, do not feel obliged to buy the die. It does give you precision, it makes life quicker and gives you more time for sewing...but first, find out which design YOU prefer!

14.01.2022 While I try and retrieve my usual website domain, please go to the website via https://craftandquilting.com/

13.01.2022 also added Hexagons for EPP in 3/4"sides with a choice of 2 different seam allowance. They are dies number 6343 and 6344. So I am putting the link in for the first..;. which should bring up a page showing both! https://www.a1craftandquilting.com.au/search

13.01.2022 Just in time for summer! New little dresses... :) this is a requested item and will be on the way this afternoon. Imagine row of dresses on a little girls quilt, or interspersed on individual blocks, mixing and matching with flowery fabric! Must look in my lace stash!

13.01.2022 We have a dded a new set of templates which go with the pattern by Anne Verberckmoes. There is a link to buy the pattern, lots of other bags there too. The Facebook page for the group is https://www.facebook.com/serialbagmakers/ The templates, along with the templates we have for the Cottonwood Boho and Pouch, make sewing up a bag, so easy. They look so stylish too!

12.01.2022 Travellers Star, Also known as Arkansas Traveler and Teddys Choice. Finally have this die perfect! It sews up like a dream. I think this is my new favourite. https://www.a1craftandquilting.com.au//travellers-star-636

11.01.2022 Hi everyone.... we are going to have a stall at Gembrook 's Everything Patchwork and Quilting show on the 1st September..That is in Victoria, right near Puffing Billy!

09.01.2022 Last one for tonight... but still more to put on! A slightly smaller rag die that cuts at 8" and finishes at 6 inch.

09.01.2022 I am in the process of adding some dies that have been in the process for some time, and will send out a newsletter shortly. Here I have the Petals for Emma Jean Jansen's The Daisy Quilt. The link for the pattern is on my page, you purchase the pattern from her, it's instantly downloadable... get some eye candy while you look at her shop! We have a Soup Cosy, but I need to make one or two first for a photo! Also, with Christmas around the corner...sorry about reminding you... we have a Christmas Stocking coming up on the website, and don't forget the doll pattern by Sian. Just type in "Doll" in the search bar on the website. What a great handmade present for the little girls in your family, or even dress it up as a superhero, and its for everyone!

08.01.2022 We are adding more new blocks, I still havent written the pattern for this, but it really is easy to assemble. Make the Nine patch, then sew the side edges on. Simple! It is a very fast quilt to make, yet looks so complicated. I will make the pattern up in the next few days and have it available for free download on the page. Have a look again at our website! So many new dies.

08.01.2022 Next lot of new dies... these kite shapes can be connected together in so many ways... the equilateral triangles can be used for scrappy quilts. Using light and dark values, the scope for something unique is amazing. Hexagons appear as if by magic, along with other amazing shapes.

07.01.2022 Get inspired, subscribe... make this couple a YouTube sensation!! Grab a coffee and enjoy!

07.01.2022 Just want to remind people that A1 Craft and quilting already has the dies that makes Storm at Sea and Snail's Trail, (and the combination of both) Glorious Nine Patch and several others. We have had most for several years. Please let people know, remember, you still get the bonus mat with each die.

07.01.2022 we have been adding so many new dies to the website... most by request...anything to make cutting easier. Please feel free to share, This link is just the first page of dies! We have over 400 now!! https://www.a1craftandquilting.com.au//bluewren-cutting-di

06.01.2022 Heres the next and we wonder why we never made it before. This one is based on the 10 inch paper templates that many of us have made over the years.Just lay the fabric down with the grain of fabric following the shape, and you will have the perfect Dresden... fast!

06.01.2022 At last, I have put this on the website! Now to make a few for my special people! These can be embellished with embroidery and charms, little bells etc.

05.01.2022 We have made this die, fits the bigger cutter, on one die. There is a another version that is on two a 2 die set that allows those with smaller cutters to make the same pattern. I recently saw one of my customers making this... I was thrilled!

05.01.2022 To all USA quilters. No problem with Australia or most other countries . At present, and pending resolution of a dispute with a US patent holder, sales of Blue Wren Fabric Cutting dies to the United States of America are suspended until further notice. This does not affect sales of our Blue Wren Cutting Mats, Templates, or all other items. This action does not affect Australia or other countries.... Thank you for your support. We believe in choice so this may not be final, just delayed.

04.01.2022 I have finally added the classic Winding Ways to the website. There is this one, 10" finished,(needs a cutter than can cut 10" wide, like the Accuquilt. Also added another that finishes at 8" (6300) which is suitable for all cutters, even those that have a 6" opening.

03.01.2022 One more of many new dies we are adding over the next few days...all requests! Please feel free to share away. I had a call today from someone who has only heard great things about our dies, but presumed we were not in Australia!

03.01.2022 Have a wonderful Christmas holiday everyone, We are back and as busy as ever. Our newest dies are again by request... We have a chisel complete with a half triangle so you can make the pattern as on the packaging, POTC in 1 1/2" as well as the 1" and 2", the Crossed Canoes, as well as more than 300 others.
