Welcome to the Home of Lizard of Oz - Your Paper Piecing Specialist

What We Do
We specialize in all aspects of English Paper piecing. For English Piecing we supply a large range of printed paper shapes, packs to make quilt tops called Tessatops, and also have project packs that provide everything you need to make a quilt except the fabric. If you're not familiar with the English piecing technique have a look at our English piecing instructions to learn about this easy and accurate piecing method. We also have a range of Fusablocks, original Lizard of Oz block designs that include the shapes ready printed on Vliesofix^® to make the block.
