Two GO! Dies You Love are Back: GO! Bee & Beehive & GO! Fractured Tumbler

Two very special and very different dies are returning from our Die to Try™ Program and becoming full-fledged members of the AccuQuilt Die Library. Welcome back to the GO! Bee & Beehive and GO! Fractured Tumbler-3” Finished dies.

It’s a banner day when we get to welcome not just one but two great dies back as regular members of our GO! Die Library, and these truly are such outstanding dies, it’s not hard to see why they were such favorites when they were first introduced last year. The GO! Bee & Beehive is a darling applique die with versatile shapes that are right on trend while the GO! Fractured Tumbler-3" Finished features unique shapes to unleash your creativity to create many different looks and blocks.

 

GO! Bee & Beehive

This fun applique die features seven shapes to get your creativity buzzing! All would be time consuming to cut by hand, and you would never get them cut as perfectly as the die does. With the die? Cut up to 4 layers of pre-fused cotton in just one pass through any GO! Fabric Cutter for consistently perfect cuts ready to embellish all kinds of projects, both big and small.

You won’t want to stop at quilting cotton, either! GO! dies will cut all kinds of materials like cardstock, craft foam, sticky back vinyl, wool and more because this die is the key to creating all kinds of sweet crafts and quilts.

Just in time for this die’s return, we’re introducing some brand new free, downloadable patterns to make with it, too!
