Be Dazzled quilt in the Computer-Aided Machine Embroidery category of the 2010 “A World of Beauty” annual fall Judged Show of the International Quilt Association. This was the first time Sarah has entered a quilt in the IQA show.

“We are very excited to congratulate Sarah on her first place win for GO! Be Dazzled,” said Steve Nabity, AccuQuilt CEO. “Sarah cut out all of the appliqué shapes on the quilt top with the AccuQuilt GO!® Fabric Cutter proving that better cuts truly do make better quilts.” GO!

Diamonds dies, which are all also compatible with the new GO! Baby™ Fabric Cutter, to make the beautiful quilt top. Sarah then embellished the motifs with her own artistry by adding computer-aided machine embroidery to complete her work of art.
