Checker Distributor 62 Anniversary Open House - Double Diamond Ruler and MorningGlory Designs

Checker Distributor 62 Anniversary Open House

Chapter 12
Bright Quilting Notions
MorninGlory Designs

Kim Templin is the designer of the Double Diamond Ruler.  She brought some new patterns (new to me) to the Open House and the one below was really fun for Christmas. 

 

There was also a really beautiful wall hanging of a guitar but my photo did not come out so I'll let you check it out here.  It is really a great idea for anyone who plays the guitar....so different and fun.

This is actually a purse....I know the photo does not completely show all the details.  The Double Diamond's make this purse unique don't you think?  It really catches your eye.  

Betsy Meyers & Margaret Winder are MorninGlory Designs and they had lots of new patterns to share.

These cozy jackets look great for Fall.  I love a fun jacket to wear when I'm out and about. 

 

IHAN has added a few MorninGlory Patterns to the shop and will be adding more soon.  If there is one in particular you are interested in and it is not listed, please e-mail IHaveANotion@yahoo.com and I'll get it for you. 

I'm almost finished with the Open House posts and I will be giving away some fun Prizes....if you did not know there was a giveaway going on.....click here to see what fun things are being given away very soon.

I'd love to win this because I love new tools and especially those that are timesavers, seeing as I have two jobs! Thanks for the chance for the ruler.

Double Diamond Ruler Demo at Spring Quilt Market 2010

This is a photo of Kim Templin the designer of the Double Diamond Ruler and the CEO of IHAN .  Don't we look spanky in our Double Diamonds?  : )

 

I had some amends to make to Kim for a oversight during the IHAN Anniversary Celebration.  Kim was so kind to send me a Double Diamond Ruler and all three of her patterns to giveaway during the 32 Days of Giveaways.  Can you believe I missed giving them away?  When I saw them I was mortified beyond words.  Thankfully Kim was busy traveling during that time and did not have time to notice....phew!!  I e-mailed her and told her what happened and she said no worries.  Thank you Kim for your understanding.  still can't believe I did that. 

When I caught up with Kim at Quilt Market in Minneapolis she smiled when she saw my camera strap.  I was proud as punch that I used her Double Diamond Ruler (one I bought not the donated one...lol) to make my camera strap. 

I thought I would share some photos of Kim demonstrating how to use the Double Diamond Ruler.

You need a background fabric, contrast fabric and a main fabric.

You fuse the contrast and the main fabric together.  I used Mistyfuse on my camera strap.  You can see she folded it in half and used the Double Diamond Ruler to cut the fabric (pictured on the left).

If you are a visual person and prefer a video , just click here and you can see Kim's video demonstration.

This is Kim's Diamond Wine Wall Hanging/ Table Topper pattern,

Veggie Table Runner pattern,

 

and her Desert Diamonds Wall Hanging/ Table Topper pattern.

The Double Diamond Ruler comes with two rulers.  One is 1.5" and the other is 3.5".  It also includes a free pattern for making an eye glass case.  Kim has other free patterns on her website, Bright-Quilting-Notions dot com.  One very lucky IHAN blog reader will win the Double Diamond Ruler (autographed of course) and all three of Kim's patterns.
