All About Gnomes
As the name suggests, the GO! Gnome Accessories Die was made for the popular GO! Gnome Die. It features five applique shapes to further accentuate any gnome, including “gnomesses!” Like other GO! Applique Dies, it comes with free downloadable embroidery designs in three stitches – blanket, satin and motif – and there are plenty of other adorable embroidery designs available for purchase.
If you love how adorable gnomes are, you’ll love how easy it can be to add even more personality to them with these inspirational projects!
To showcase your passion for gnomes, the GO! Love You Gnome Much Throw Quilt is a great place to start. The soft color palette makes this design perfect for Valentine’s Day, but think about using AccuQuilt’s free design tool, GO! Quilt, to create a new colorway with the necessary GO! Dies.
Another way to share how much you love gnomes can be with the GO! Gnomes in Love Wall Hanging. With the needed dies, this cute pattern is “gnome” easy to create.
Gnomes can be found in nature, and the GO! Gnome Basket Wall Hanging is full of this theme. Just pair the gnomes with a few flowery GO! Dies and you’ll have this wall hanging finished in a flash!
The GO! Burp Cloth Die is so versatile, and it’s easy to see how with the GO! Gnomes on My Mitt! This darling pattern is perfect for themed kitchens or to make for gifts for any gnome lover.
Let’s Talk Bags!
AccuQuilt was so excited to partner with designer Carolina Moore of Always Expect Moore for the GO! Boxed Bag (2-Die Set). One die in the set is for boxed and darted corners while the other die can be used for curved bag bottoms, curved bag flaps and curves on other quilting projects, including placemats, coasters and curved corners on quilts. These Fat Quarter-friendly dies can help quilters create bags as small as a clutch to as large as a tote. While that opens up plenty of possibilities, here’s some inspiration to get you started!
The pattern on the packaging is the GO! Simple Zip Bags by Carolina Moore. Like the name suggests, it’s quick and easy to create as many zippered bags as you’d like as long as you have the GO! Square-8 1/2” (8” Finished) and/or GO! Value Dies.
Looking for a bit of a fancier bag? The GO! Zippity-Do-Done Cross Body Bag by Carolina Moore is what you need then! This fun bag combines some other dies with the GO! Boxed Bag (2-Die Set) and a June Tailor Zippity-Do-Done Zipper to turn a handheld bag into an on the GO! one.
Although the name implies it’s for the holidays, the GO! Santa’s Gift Sack by Carolina Moore can be used for any gift-giving occasion! This sweet pattern just needs the GO! Boxed Bag by Carolina Moore (2-Die Set), fabric and ribbon to be made.
If you’re a fan of reusable bags, the GO! Fat Quarter Grocery Tote by Carolina Moore is just what you need for any shopping trip. All you’ll need besides the dies are four Fat Quarters and strapping/webbing for the handles.
Ensure that any gifted bottle is safe – and fun to open – with the GO! Patchwork Champagne Bottle Bag by Carolina Moore. With the GO! Qube Mix & Match 6” Block and ribbon, you’ll be able to make the perfect hostess gift bag.
GO! Dies are so fun to combine, as you can see in the GO! Jewel Bag. This easy-to-make pattern utilizes the October Die to Try series die, the GO! English Paper Piecing Jewel Petal-1” Finished Sides, and GO! Qube English Paper Piecing-1” Finished Sides, allowing for a lovely portable project.
The GO! Pincushion by Carolina Moore is proof that the GO! Boxed Bag (2-Die Set) is for more than just bags! Every sewing space needs a pincushion, and this one is a snap to put together as long as you have the GO! Square-5 1/2” (5” Finished) Die on hand, too.
