Free Fussy Cutting Templates

Way way back in issue 38 of Love Patchwork & Quilting magazine we featured a Fantastic Fussy Cutting project booklet by Alex Luenz. We packed it with Alex’s clear instructions for eye-catching fussy cutting projects, along with her fussy cutting guide, to get you whipping up beautiful EPP projects in no time!

Sarah is our resident tech-expert, as at home whipping up quilt samples as she is tackling complex quilt-math with the aid of her trusty calculator, so she’s an essential part of Love Patchwork & Quilting team! She’s got a fabric stash that any quilter would envy (and yes, it’s a stash – not a hoard!) and an almost indecent number of projects on the go at any one time. She’ll often bring finished projects into work and wow the team with her sewing skills. Sarah’s our in-house American, originally from Ohio, she loves a good cup of tea (spearmint’s her favourite) and comes from a long tradition of family quilters.
