Description Gather together for beginner and advanced quilting projects made with Deb Tucker's Studio 180 designs. We meet on Saturdays once a month and YOU CAN JOIN ANYTIME! The Studio 180 philosophy: cutting your pieces a bit oversized so you can trim to perfection making piecing easier and more fun. Deb's tools include the ultra-popular Wing Clipper and Tucker Trimmer. Lynne Turner-Liro is a Certified Instructor for Studio 180 and brings an innovative teaching method to simplify the process even more. We started 2025 with Fanfare, a fun combination of half-square triangles and half-rectangles, and the Beginners celebrated every successful block. Advanced quilters worked on Emerald Isle with different fabric selections creating a unique project. We've used colored pencils to show the impact of different selections. Sharing progress each month keeps us all inspired.
