Hi ,

I have a fun newsletter for you this week with a new format I hope you enjoy. This past week we celebrated 13 years since the start of the Free Motion Quilting Project. Over the years I've uploaded over 3000 videos and have to admit at this point I'm having trouble keeping up with them all.

So each week we're going to share a current quilting tutorial and then something fun we learned in the past that you most likely have missed! We'd love for you to enjoy all of our videos and quilting tutorials and share them with your quilting friends.

This week we have a pretty new Dresden Plate quilt block to piece, two ways to quilt one free motion quilting design, and an awesome deal on the Qnique 15PRO longarm you don't want to miss.

Let's Piece a Spinning Dresden Plate

Our 8th Dresden Plate Quilt Block showcases the cool effects you can create from cutting your petals different widths. Mixing long and short petals together can create some funky issues with the seam allowances, so make sure to watch this video to see how to piece (and press) this block perfectly:

Yep, you can still join in the fun with this Dresden Plate / Ring Block Along. Click Here to pick up a new Dresden Template Set and get started today.

Free Motion Quilting Sashiko Shell

This simple stacking design was inspired by Japanese Sashiko style quilting. I'd loved this quilting style for years before starting the Free Motion Quilting Project because the emphasis was all on the quilting stitches.

When quilting this design, I literally think - bounce, bounce, bounce - because that's how it's quilted!

These days I tend to quilt on a much larger scale to create softer quilts for cuddles and comfort. I now prefer to quilt this design using my 2-inch circle ruler. It perfectly stacks the circles to create a seamless clamshell effect.

So that's it for this week. I hope you enjoy these new and old quilting tutorials. It was great hearing from many of you this past week and what you're most interested in learning more about.

The wonderful thing about quilting is how vast and open this amazing craft can be. Even with 13 years of sharing videos, I honestly feel like I'm just scratching the surface on all that we can quilt together.

Let's go quilt,

Leah Day
