Now for the bad news - we have limited quantities of these kits available and we are limiting kit purchases to 1 per person. Due to our difficulty in getting the fabric in stock, we probably won't offer these again this year, so now is the time to pick up a kit of you're wanting to give this project a try.

This summer I created a new quilting class with Craftsy and just received my quilts back! I was so excited I shot a quick video unboxing all the quilts.

Seeing them all again was like visiting with old friends and I can't wait to hang them up so I can enjoy seeing them in the Crafty Cottage. Click here to find this video.

I designed and taught these quilts in the new Craftsy class The Free Motion Effect. This class focuses on how different designs can create different effects for your quilts. If you're really struggling with quilting design and feeling confused about which design would be best for your quilts, this class would be great for you!

Speaking of new Craftsy classes, I've teamed up with 5 other quilting teachers to create an awesome new class called Top Techniques for Big Quilts. This class features lessons from Angela Walters, Cindy Needham, Ann Peterson, Christine Cameli, and myself all focused on quilting larger quilts easily. Click Here to get 50% off this new class!

Now for even more machine quilting fun - this week I was super inspired by a post on our Facebook Group featuring this beautiful design called Hearty Vine created Karen Klamczynski for her blog Fireball Quilts.

Karen was inspired to add cute hearts to Cucumber Vine to create this new design.

I instantly wanted to try quilting it and Karen agreed to have it posted to the Free Motion Quilting Project in a new video for everyone to enjoy.

One thing that was very unique about this design was just how easy it was to expand and quilt on a bigger scale. It would be the perfect design for bed quilts you want to finish soft and cuddly.

Definitely get on your machine this week and give this new Hearty Vine design a try, and don't forget about the Heart & Feather Wholecloth Kits that are available now only while supplies last!

Lets' go quilt,
