Hi ,
Are you counting down to Christmas? It seems we have many countdowns this year and anticipation is running high - the new Star Wars movie comes out this weekend, Christmas following quickly after, and the switch to a new
year all within the next 15 days!
Josh and I are eagerly counting down to January 1st and the start of our new Machine Quilting Block Party and another wonderful year of teaching and learning together.
Make sure to checkout the block party countdown and learn more about this fun new project we'll be starting on January 1st. Click Here to read more now.
Celebrate the Beauty of Nature
|
I am so happy to announce our new downloadable embroidery collection Reflections
of Nature. Celebrate the beauty of nature with this new collection of 25 nature themed digitized embroidery designs.
All of the designs in this collection will stitch a perfect 4 inch square with the touch of a button. I love stitching out designs with my embroidery machine because it can be stitching while I'm busy with another project. It's like having another "me" to get more done!
You can embroider the designs in this
collection on a single layer of fabric to embellish your clothing, napkins, and hand towels. You can also stitch these designs into a quilt sandwich to create quilted blocks that can be connected together to form all sorts of beautiful, creative projects.
This project is easy and fast to create because you can prepare the binding fabric while the blocks stitch on the machine. The beautiful textures create an eye catching design that will look great during any season of the year.
All of the
designs in this set will stitch into a 4 inch square and are available in the following formats: DST, EXP, HUS, JEF, PCS, PES, SEW, VIP, VP3, XXX. Click here to learn more!Speaking of machine embroidery - we only have five CDs left of my first embroidery collection, Expressions of Texture.
This collection of 50 CDs is on sale for $49.95 and once we sell out of them we do not plan on having more in stock. Unlike Reflections of Nature which is a downloadable collection, Expressions of Texture is a physical CD of designs.
Learn how to Quilt Light Spiral
|
Ready to learn a fun machine quilting design that will be perfect for a quick Christmas project? Let's learn how to free motion quilt Light Spiral!
This beautiful design was included in the Dancing Butterfly Quilt Along, and today I feel like machine quilting this design on a much smaller scale. When quilted this way, the spirals get smaller and the lights can get
bigger, making for a dramatic thread painted effect for your quilts.
Machine Quilting Quilty Box
|
Has your Quilty Box arrive yet? I was super excited to receive mine this month because it's extra special - I got to select the fabric and supplies for you this month.
I hope you'll give this fun, skill building project a try. The best way to build skills for machine quilting is to quilt, quilt, quilt and not look back!
Whew - that's a lot for this week! We'd love to know what you think of the new Reflections of Nature embroidery collection. Yes, we plan
to delve into machine embroidery in a big way in 2016 and we'd love to know what you're needing to learn and the designs you'd love to be able to stitch with your machine.
Let's go quilt,
Leah Day
