What's Newz.... Many of you have purchased and used Wonderfil’s Invisifil 100wt. polyester thread on my recommendation ... and if you know me personally, you know I only recommend to my students what I like and use myself. I LOVE this thread and continue to use it for all my top-stitch piecing needs. However I agreed with my students that there were many key colors missing from their collection. This past autumn I approached the company with a proposal to include additional colors.
The new Invisifil Threads are now on my shop page. My online shop has expanded and new merchandise is now available! My students are continually requesting that I put on my website the merchandise I have in my classes ... books, DVDs, Invisifil threads from the Wonderfil Company, Truflex 40" curves and some of my best selling patterns. Please check out my newly expanded online shop for the all the items you've been asking for.
Even better news ... For a limited time $5 shipping per cartload within the United States. $34.95 - 2 Disk Set DVD (NTSC Format for US) My new DVD "Crazy about Curves" is available in two formats: NTSC for USA viewers and the PAL version for my overseas audience. The price for the 2-disk, 3 hour 50 minute set is $34.95. Read more on my Shop page. Please note: For Canadian DVD Customers: I can substantially reduce your shipping fees to Canada (using USPS first class mail). Please email me at vikki@vikkipignatelli.com to place your order. I will send you an invoice (with lower shipping) through Paypal, payable by credit card.
I am honored and thrilled to announce that I was interviewed by Karen Musgrave for The Alliance of American Quilts. The interview will be archived with the Library of Congress and is the Alliance's project #903. Please view my interview by clicking here. I had the opportunity to blog about my international travels to the UK and Down Under. You can read about my adventures on the Subversive Stitchers: Armed with Needles blog. Thank you to Dawn Goldsmith for allowing me to share my story. I have a Student Gallery page. If you've used my techniques to make a quilt, please submit them to me for consideration with a short artist’s statement. We need jpegs with at least 800 pixels on the longest side. Also, I need your permission to post your quilt. The length of time that quilts are exhibited online will vary depending on response of artists and the space |

Have
you ever wished for an easy
method of machine piecing intricate curves, or wanted to incorporate
curved designs into a quilt but had no inkling where to begin? Hi, I'm
Vikki Pignatelli. When I first began quilting, I visualized beautiful
curved designs, but the traditional method of piecing curves left me
frustrated. I knew there must be an easier way. After much trial and
effort I did find a way. . . and now I’m crazy about curves!
I am thrilled to tell you that The Wonderfil Specialty Threads Company agreed and has added 30 new colors to their Invisifil collection ... and it will be known as the Vikki Pignatelli collection of colors! In addition, the threads come in a box featuring a detail of my quilt, “Rhapsody in Pink” as the background for the entire package. Each of the five new sets will contain six spools of thread, and each spool contains 400 meters (437+ yards).
