Finish this Project on the NEW Baby Lock Tiara
Uh-oh! Did you forget a gift for that baby shower next weekend? Need something for your niece’s upcoming birthday party? It’s OK; this simple, yet adorable quilt is the perfect gift for any little princess!
The quilting is done on the Baby Lock Tiara 16-inch longarm machine. This sit-down machine is compact enough for less spacious sewing rooms and comes with its own table. It’s a great choice for anyone looking to start longarm quilting!
Download this project to see what you can do with the Baby Lock Tiara.
Baby Lock is an official sponsor of Fons & Porter’s Love of Quilting. Visit them at www.babylock.com.

| Tips Galore! |
Easy Cutting
Submitted by Diantha Wentling from Stone Lake, WI
Before I start a new quilt, I transfer the cutting instructions to a dry erase board. As I cut, I erase that size and move on. It's easier than looking at the instructions in the magazine. Visit the tips page on the Fons & Porter Web site for more great ideas.
