Celebrate 1 Year of the Die to Try Program with the GO! Flamingo Die

YES! Spring is here and it's officially flamingo season! Flamingos overtook AccuQuilt a year ago and the fun continues. The GO! Flamingo Die adds pizzazz and fun to almost anything you use it for!

 

 

Die to Try Dies Are Delightful

AccuQuilt began its Die to Try (DTT) Program about a year ago, which means that quilters can purchase new dies that are exclusively available on the AccuQuilt website for a limited time.

These innovative and fun releases coincide with AccuQuilt Events, which feature plenty of inspiration, tips, and tricks from cutting experts. For example, look at this GO! Grandmother’s Love Throw Quilt Pattern that was made with the GO! Grandmother’s Fan-9” Finished Die—AccuQuilt’s March DTT release.

Another one of my favorite DTT releases is the GO! Farm Animals Medley Die. This fantastic die cuts these barnyard animals perfectly. If this die wasn’t fun enough, the horse from the GO! Western Medley Die pairs perfectly with these other barnyard animals!

Being from Southeastern Minnesota, AND living on a farm, I have a real soft spot for this die. From aprons to baby quilts, what could be cuter? Well, actually, the GO! Future Farmer Play Set Pattern, that’s what!

As you can see, these DTTs add a lot of creativity to your quilting or crafting. Whether you love piecing or applique, there is bound to be a DTT you’ll love.

 

 

Flamingos Are Back for More Fun

The GO! Flamingo Die started out as a DTT, but you voted to keep it. That’s right; you get to decide which DTTs are added to the regular lineup of AccuQuilt dies.

Let’s talk flamingos! As we head into spring and summer, what could be more enjoyable or cute than this bird? You can design a block around the flamingo or update your spring decor with an adorable pillow!

Flamingos are not just for quilted projects. What's a better place to have a flamingo hang out than in your front yard?

These fun birds make a great addition to your kitchen decor. Why not applique a flamingo on a kitchen towel? Or party like a "flockstar" all barbeque season with a punny apron?

Fresh Flamingos Forever

Flamingos are not just for spring and summer though. As well as the free downloadable embroidery files from AccuQuilt, you can also purchase a fun holiday assortment of embroidery files created by V-Stitch Designs.

Create a sofa pillow cover for every season or special occasion! Just switch out your covers and you’ll have an added touch of whimsy all year long.

Applique dies from AccuQuilt always spell F-U-N, and the GO! Flamingo Die is no different. You can even use craft foam to cut out flamingos for a great party table decoration!
