2018 Machine Quilting Party
Hi ,

Thank you so much for your fantastic support during our Thanksgiving sale. Josh and I feel so grateful for your business and excitement about our upcoming Machine Quilting Party in 2018.

Speaking of the 2018 Quilt Along, make sure you've picked up your book so you're ready to piece and quilt along with us next year. Next year's quilt along is based on our new book Explore Walking Foot Quilting with Leah Day. Together we will piece and quilt three quilts from the book with walking foot style quilting!

Today is the last day you can preorder your copy of this book and get the best discount.

We also noticed the book is a little heavier than what we calculated so shipping costs will go up too after November 30th. So now is definitely the time to get the best deal and be ready for the Machine Quilting Party starting on January 1st.



What will we be quilting together in 2018? These three beautiful quilts from the book:

Stephanie Soebbing business transformation
Hello My Quilting Friends! This week I'm chatting with Stephanie Soebbing once again about the amazing transformation her business has undergone in the past eight months.

Click Here to find Quilt Addicts Anonymous, Stephanie's website. Stephanie recently expanded to create a full scale quilt shop which is open five days a week and carries a wide range of beautiful fabrics.

Stephanie was a bit tired during this interview because she just got back from fall quilt market. She drove to Texas, set up a booth, then drove back home and had to immediately get back to work in her quilt shop. Talk about exhausting!

Check out Stephanie's story in the podcast video below and also hear her firsthand account of Quilt Market 2017.

Moving the Grace Qnique to a Frame
It's finally time to share a new video on the Grace Qnique 14+! Early this month I moved my sit down longarm machine to it's new home on the Grace Continuum Frame. I shot timelapse videos throughout the build so you could see how this changed my basement sewing room:

Grace Company is currently running a huge sale on their machines and quilting frames through December. They have several bundled machine and quilting frame packages at really great prices!

If you live in the US, make sure to call the company and mention "Leah Day said Hello My Quilting Friends" in order to get bonus accessories free with your order.

I couldn't be happier with this machine set up on the Continuum Frame. It's so easy and fast to move the machine and far less effort on my shoulders to move the machine rather than a quilt.

As I said in the video, I feel a bit silly for not making this change sooner. It's not that quilting on a home machine is so much harder. I've been quilting on a home machine for years and I still love it and think it's a great way to quilt your quilts. I wouldn't have created so many designs or spent so many years teaching this method of quilting if I didn't think it was awesome.


And NO, I'm not switching full time to quilting on a longarm! I will still be making videos, quilting workshops, and books on quilting on my home machines!

Look no further than our Quilt Along for next year: we're going to quilt along with walking foot quilting, a quilting style you can only do on a home machine. Click Here to check out the schedule and materials lists for the three quilts we'll be making together.

So that's it for this week! Remember to preorder your copy of Explore Walking Foot Quilting so you're ready to quilt along with us starting January 1st. Click Here to get your copy now for $24.99.

Let's go quilt.
