Introducing the GO! Cactus Medley Die

Say hello to the newest June Die to Try™: the GO! Cactus Medley die! This limited-time-only die is available while supplies last and is a must-have for quilters who adore bold shapes, playful motifs and desert-inspired charm. With eight accurate succulent shapes – including a variety of cacti and accent flowers – this die is perfect for adding a pop of the Southwest to your quilt patterns, accessories and home décor. Cut up to four pre-fused layers at once with your GO! Cutter and build your own desert dreamscape in no time. But don’t wait around – this die is only available this month, and only while supplies last!

The GO! Cactus Medley die makes it easy to design quilt patterns inspired by desert landscapes and Southwest scenes. With FREE downloadable embroidery files included, each cactus comes to life with blanket, motif and satin stitch styles. No more hand-tracing or second-guessing – each shape is cut in one pass, perfecting every curve and point – so you can spend less time prepping and more time stitching. Mix and match Saguaro, Barrel, Torch and Aloe Cactus shapes, along with pots and flowers to create dynamic scrap-busting quilt projects. Use embroidery to elevate your quilt blocks, garments, tote bags, towels and even accessories like the GO! Succulent Sombrero (see below). Add beads, buttons or decorative thread to bring your cactus appliqués to life and let your creativity shine.
