When we first arrived at International Quilt Market in Houston and began setting up our booth we met our next door neighbors Deb and Jeff Tucker of Studio 180 Designs What a great company to be placed next to! When they learned this was our first year as Vendors at IQF they gave us a lot of tips and helpful hints to navigate our way through such a large convention. Doubly Charmed A neatly organized and well designed booth space. *I took a lot of notes! Deb has a background in Education and Architecture and started her company when she created a series of tools that make the Hunter's Star quilt easier and with better accuracy. I stood in admiration as I watched her demo for hours on end each day during the 2 weeks of both Quilt Market and Quilt Festival. A very professional and hard working lady! Last year alone Deb presented at 20 Conventions. Have you seen or used the rulers that Deb has designed? I was hoping the Tucker Trimmer offered a magical solution for weight loss :) I loved their Flying Swallows by Sager Creek Quilts where the block looks like detailed English Paper Piecing but instead is made with a much easier technique of strip piecing and specialty ruler. For more information you can visit Studio 180 Designs at their web site HERE Thanks Deb and Jeff for helping us newbies. We hope we have the opportunity to be neighbors next year.
