Get Your Daily Dose of Quilting

Published: Wed, 06/06/18

Hi ,

You know, one of the most common questions I received about the Free Motion Quilting Project when I started the blog is - will you make a calendar?

Since my original goal was to share a new quilting design every day for a year, it just made sense to have a calendar with a new design to enjoy every day. I wish I could have created a calendar back in 2009, but time, budget, and printing limitations always held me back from self publishing a calendar.

Now thanks to C&T Publishing, our quilting design calendar is a reality. Click Here to preorder your copy!

Every day you can flip over another page and be inspired to try a new quilting design. Challenge yourself to stitch a new design every day or just your favorite from the week. The quilting tutorials I created for each design are still online and easy to browse right here.

This calendar is very special because it's made to work year after year. This is a perpetual calendar, printed on heavy paper with a solid coil binding so you can enjoy using it year after year.

Get a signed copy and save during the preorder period. Click Here to preorder your very own calendar for $18.95.

Calendars will ship on or around July 10th in the order they were received.

Let's Make a Mother & Child Quilt Together

It's Quilt Along time! I'm thrilled to be sharing a new goddess quilt with you this summer and I can't wait to see all the beautiful quilts we create together. Today I've shared the first post on Fusible Applique Basics to help get you started.

Click Here to find the video and quilting tutorial.

While it may seem like there's a lot of steps to tracing, cutting, and fusing the fusible web, it's a lot faster than turning edges and stitching by hand!

Just in case this is the first post you've run across about this Quilt Along, please know that you can begin at any time and work at your own pace.

All you need to get started is a copy of the Eternal Love Quilt Pattern available here.

How do you sign up for the Quilt Along?

We like to keep things very simple so there's no official sign up or forms to fill out. Just pick up a pattern and swing by every Monday to find the new videos posted each week.

I'll make sure to link everything up in one place. Click Here to find the official page which you can bookmark so it's easy to find each week.

Finally, and most importantly, we still have fabric kits in stock for this project. As of this morning, we have just 15 kits left and we will likely not be reordering, and if we do get more in, they will only be available by late summer at the absolute soonest. Click Here to order a fabric kit.

Walking Foot Quilting Super Spiral

After missing a week, I'm happy to say we're back on track with our walking foot design series, and last Friday I showed how to quilt Super Spiral on not just the walking foot but on a longarm as well!

I love quilting Super Spiral because it's such a simple design, but it can make a huge impact on your quilts.

On a home machine, you can quilt one Super Spiral over your entire quilt. This simple circular texture is the perfect way to finish a quilt top with busy fabrics and prints.

Just remember to always quilt in a clockwise direction when quilting Super Spiral on your home machine. That way you will have less quilt in the arm of the machine with every ring you stitch and the quilt will feel progressively easier to move.

My Baby Has Graduated Lower School

Copyright Law and Quilting with Heather Kubiak

My little boy graduated from lower school this past Thursday and is headed off to middle school next year to begin 5th grade.

At James's school the younger kids aren't allowed to wear sandals until 5th grade so for the graduation, they give the kids flip flops to celebrate their new freedom of footwear.

I thought I might get a bit sad, but instead everything about the graduation and move-up to middle school ceremony made me happy. My little boy is growing up!

It's only going to be 8 more short years and we will be watching him graduate from high school. This makes me even more focused on enjoying the time we have together.

I hope your summer is off to a great start! Don't forget to check out the new 365 Quilting Design calendars and preorder your copy today!

Let's go quilt,

Leah Day
