I have done several of these, and I prefer to buy the kits. The fabric is all coordinated for me, and it goes so easy. I use a kitchen knife to poke the fabric into the crevice. You won't get the desired result without the kit as it won't be as smooth as you like.

on page 6 there is a kit called Quilt Magic. You use foam board, fabric and a punch tool to make framed quilts. Has anyone done this? I have foam board. I have fabric. I think I could draw a design on the board and use a knife to push the fabric into the foam board.
Any ideas if this would work? Have you ever seen this?

I have made one, bought it from a vendor at a show. Had the pattern already laser cut through double stick tape and the foam board. Removed the tape, stuck the fabric to the shape and poked in the corners. Took me about 2 hours to do the whole block and that was with fussy cutting some of the fabric pieces.

I too saw that in their catalog and thought it looked really cool. For me, I probably would buy a kit just to make sure I had all the right stuff. Then I can see what they used and make more later buy buying my own foam board and fabric, etc. At least I would have all the right materials and directions to do the first one. I did make pumpkins years ago using this method buy purchasing styrofoam and orange fabric or opening orange raffia and pressing them into the foam. Turned out really cute.

I bought one at a craft show and did it. It was fun, but a little frustrating. You definitely need at least an inch thick foam to do it, so invest in that. I have it hanging as it is a Welcome sign, and it is very pretty. Enjoy.
