Happy Wednesday quilting friends!

Last Friday I added Pinstripes to the Quilting Design Gallery because this super simple design has quickly become one of my favorites.

I know, I know, you're probably thinking "that's only straight lines!" but please don't discount a quilting design just because it looks simple.

Pinstripes is a terrific design to add elegant texture to your quilts, and it's very fast to quilt.

Click here to see what I mean in this new video.

Would you like to learn how to quilt Pinstripes on a real quilt? Learn how in the Mega Star Walking Foot Workshop, which will remain on sale until midnight Friday for $19.99.

In this online quilting workshop you'll get to see exactly how I plan and place the designs in a large quilt and tackle quilting from the center.

If you're feeling confused about how to use designs or quilt a real quilt on your home machine, this is a terrific class for you. 


This workshop is all about building MEGA skills! Learn how to piece a quilt from huge half square triangles, then how to machine quilt it yourself with your walking foot and three super sized designs.

Twelve videos are included with this video workshop to guide you through every step of the piecing and quilting process.

This month's Quilty Box has arrived filled with fun gear picked by Allison Harris of CluckCluckSew.com.

You'll love the cool tools and supplies Allison picked for us and what we're making together with her beautiful fabrics.


And yes, we also are giving away a free quilt pattern, a quick and easy Sixty Slice quilt project featuring fat eights. Do you have a stash of fat eighths or fat quarters that you don't know what to do with? Consider slashing and stitching to create this Sixty Slice quilt.


Quilty Box is an awesome monthly subscription service that delivers quilting fabric, tools, patterns, and supplies to your door every month.

The quilting supplies inside are always a wonderful surprise, and I love challenging myself to design a new quilt pattern with each month's materials.

Canning Tomatoes with Chigger Bites
Canning
Gotta love North Carolina woods! It's gorgeous, except for all the things that want to eat or poison you. We went on a hike last week and I got hit by a hungry horde of chiggers.

Thanks to the bites, I'm behind on making videos on the Grace Qnique. I had plans to get some Wonky Christmas tree quilts pieced together this week so I could start filming and quilting them for Christmas gifts, but everything got put on hold after the hike and Chigger Feast 2017. I'm too ITCHY to quilt!

But I had to keep my hands busy so Saturday we canned tomatoes. Dad, Josh, James, and I have a pretty smooth system by now and we can reasonably turn 80 pounds of tomatoes into thirty jars in a day.

That's it for this week! We hope you enjoy this month's Free quilt pattern and our new Walking Foot workshop.

Until next week, let's go quilt.
