Biography Studio 180 Design Hi, I’m Jonce’ Smith, national Certified Instructor for Studio 180 Design, the company Deb Tucker created for her patented line of quilting tools. Do you have a sewing room with ‘who knows’ how much fabric? Do you get stressed out and tense when cutting and sewing your quilt tops? End all that stress with one of my fun filled classes and afterward, you’ll be ‘quilting up a storm’. Studio 180 tools make quilting FUN and EASY because you don’t even have to sew perfect ΒΌ” seams! In class, you’ll learn how to correctly use the Studio 180 tool to make your blocks that are trimmed down to the exact size you need using the tool’s special lines. No more wonky seams that don’t match and no more quilt blocks that won’t fit together correctly. Piecing your quilt top will be a breeze. Your new quilts will showcase beautiful designs, and all of your star points will be perfectly crisp and sharp. If you’re ready to take your quilting skills to a higher level, join me for an exciting class full of learning and laughter as we explore and use the wonderful Studio 180 Design tools. CLASSES: Rangeley Stars Lap Quilt A super fun project to make with scraps from your stash or pick several different jewel tones to make it or use all bright colors on a light or dark background. The choice is yours! This dazzling, eye catching quilt features three different sized star blocks all made with the Tucker Trimmer I tool and the Magic Wand. The Tucker Trimmer I tool is a great foundation tool that can make a total of eight different quilt block units using its companion technique sheets. If that’s not enough, then consider it can make all of these in ELEVEN different sizes! Yes one tool, eleven different sizes of eight different units. An extremely versatile tool that allows for endless design opportunities. This top’s stars are easy to make and all of your star points will be crisp and clean because of how the technique works.

Hunter’s Star blocks are made with the Large Hunter’s Star tool and Hourglass Star Blocks are made with the Magic Wand and Tucker Trimmer I tool. Both tools can be used to create LOTS of other blocks so you will not regret owning both of them. Two shades of 3 different colors were used for the blocks, diagonal sashing and borders or you could raid your stash and use what you have to make this quilt.
