“I’m thrilled to be partnering with Sizzix to create new dies that will help cut quickly and precisely to allow for more play time with fabrics and design!” said Victoria Findlay Wolfe, Licensed Designer for Sizzix.
Lake Forest, Calif. (PRWEB) October 14, 2014
Sizzix®, the market leader and pioneer in die-cutting machines, steel-rule dies and accessories, is proud to announce it has signed award-winning celebrity quilter Victoria Findlay Wolfe to its family of licensed designers. Findlay Wolfe’s new dies will be introduced at the International Quilt Market in Houston, TX later this month.
“We are so happy to have someone with such an original eye for design as Victoria joining Sizzix!” said Susan Spiegel, Ellison’s Vice President, Marketing Communications. “Our consumers will appreciate the modern interpretation she brings to some of the most classic designs.”
Findlay Wolfe, winner of the Best in Show award at the inaugural QuiltCon in 2013 and author of “15 Minutes of Play,” seeks new ways to use shapes and templates to infuse a modern twist on traditional quilting. The Sizzix Fall quilting release will include three steel-rule Bigz™ Pro dies by Findlay Wolfe featuring piecing designs for double wedding ring variations and more.
Her approach to quilting has resulted in a solid schedule booking of numerous exhibitions and teaching engagements for the highly sought-after quilter, as well as a new book, “Double Wedding Ring Quilts - Traditions Made Modern!”, due in January 2015.
“I’m thrilled to be partnering with Sizzix to create new dies that will help cut quickly and precisely to allow for more play time with fabrics and design!” said Findlay Wolfe.
