Hi ,

It's that crazy time before Christmas and I've been baking and making up a storm so this newsletter is jam packed with goodies for you to enjoy.

First off, we have a new machine embroidery collection called Marvelous Modern Designs.


All 25 designs in this collection will stitch in to a 100 mm (3.9 inch) square with the touch of a button.

To celebrate this new collection, we're running a sale on all our embroidery designs.

Hearts and Echoes
This week I've had the great fortune to work with two amazing quilters. I first shared a collaboration video with Margaret Leuwen. 

Margaret sent me a beautiful diamond quilt block and I stitched it up a notch with simple hearts and echo quilting.

Meet Melanie Ham
I also shared a new podcast episode today with Melanie Ham, a popular YouTube quilting and crochet teacher.

I really enjoyed talking with Melanie because she and I do the same thing! We both make videos and teach a craft online and work daily to balance our busy schedules along with taking care of our kids, running our businesses, and managing our households. Of course, all of the messy bits get edited out of our videos (along with the unfinished bits too) but it can be a struggle to get everything done on time.

Watch the video below to see the live introduction with me and hear how Melanie balances making videos, running her business, and taking care of her family.

So that's it for this week. I'm so excited about our coming Machine Quilting Party and teaching you how to piece and quilt three quilts next year. Don't forget about the sale on machine embroidery designs so you can get a great deal on the collection we've just released.

Let's go quilt,
