Jaime Jennings and Amber Corcoran own Fancy Tiger Crafts - a revolutionary shop based in Denver CO that specializes in craft supplies and classes for the modern crafter. Fancy Tiger Crafts' vision is to inspire people to reach their crafting potential through modern and sustainable supplies and quality instruction in fiber and textile-related crafts. Amber and Jaime believe that making things by hand makes people feel better and that if more people made things, the world would be a better place. Jaime's love of crafting had early beginnings spending lots of time in her mom's shop, The Craft Peddler in Parker, Colorado. She learned to knit in 2001 and it's been non-stop fiber action ever since. Amber has a background in photography, painting and graphic design, but has always loved making things by hand. Once she discovered knitting and sewing she was absolutely hooked. She loves the creative process of making something by hand that is meant to be used and loved. Jaime and Amber met in Galveston, Texas in the early 2000's and became fast friends. Jaime started Fancy Tiger in 2006 and then invited Amber to partner with her in 2008 - its been a perfect match ever since. In addition to the retail shop in Denver and the online shop, they also produce and design crafting kits, sewing and knitting patterns and even have their own yarn line. Jaime and Amber both love to make everything--from clothes and quilts to sweaters and shawls. They are avid hand-spinners and expert needlefelters. They wear handmade items every day. In her spare time, Jaime loves hiking, traveling and seeking out delicious lattes.Amber likes foraging for mushrooms, savoring scotch and making things up as she goes.

The Double Star Quilt top features a striking combination of light and dark fabrics, with a star-within-a-star motif radiating from the center. Using a mix of special prints and half-square triangles, Amber from Fancy Tiger Crafts shows you how to use free-form patchwork to grow the quilt from the center out. In the class, Amber shows how to make a 54" quilt top, but instructions are included for making a larger 90" queen-size quilt top.
