Hi ,

I have a big announcement this week!

The seventh anniversary of The Free Motion Quilting Project is this Sunday, August 14th.

To commemorate, we will be having a massive, site-wide sale all next week, but the big news is the Waterfall Bargello Video Workshop will be available for purchase Sunday morning.

We will also be releasing new design videos each day all next week, showcasing how to fill all eight colors of the free Twin Rainbow Quilt.

We'll be sending out another newsletter Sunday announcing the Waterfall Bargello Video Workshop, as well as our sale, so stay tuned!

Last week we learned how to piece a beautiful Square in a Sun block and today it's time to machine quilt it. This particular block incorporates many designs we've used in other blocks like the marked sun medallion, Pebbling, Hot Path, and more straight line quilting.

I've been continuing my investigation of marking quilts using different types of paper and for this block I printed my quilting design pages onto printable freezer paper sheets.

You can see how this freezer paper marking technique worked for machine quilting and how it ripped away. Click here to watch the video.

It's hard to believe a year has passed since we finished the Crafty Cottage!

Click here to watch the video and see how this renovated shed has held up over its first year.

I really love this little craft room and it has definitely paid for itself many times over in the last year. I make better videos now and I'm so much happier being able to film uninterrupted.

I can't believe it's been seven years since I started the Free Motion Quilting Project. Josh and I have a lot of fun things in store next week to celebrate so be sure to check your email Sunday on our anniversary!

Let's go quilt,

Leah Day
