They're finally here! The quilting rulers I've been working on with Grace Company have finally arrived and are ready for quilting. Click Here to check out all three rulers.

I designed this set of machine quilting rulers to cover all the basics, but really they can do so much I hardly know where to start! 

The Slice Quilting Ruler is designed to help you quilt straight lines perfectly and space them beautifully too. You can also use this ruler to cut 18 degree wedges which create beautiful Dresden Plate Quilt Blocks.

We're almost finished with the Eternal Love Quilt! This week we're free motion quilting the goddess' face and her massive head of hair with many beautiful designs.

I quilted simple echoes, MicroStippling, Echo Feathers, and Swirling Water to her hair and skin tone fabrics. I love how these textures make the quilt come alive with movement and flow.

I also like quilting densely on a wall hanging this small. Eternal Love is only 20 x 25 inches so even though my quilting designs are really tiny, it's not going to take a million years to finish it.

What happened after the Big Bang? The universe got a bit wobbly! LOL! Come learn how to quilt this fun design with me today using walking foot quilting.

This is a Center-Fill Design which means you start in the center of your quilt and always quilt outward to the outer edges. In the case of Wobbly Cosmos, your goal is to quilt gently curving lines from the center to the outer edges while also slowly increasing the space between the lines.

For last week's podcast I wanted to share how I used quilting to help me out of a negative place several years ago.

Have you ever been afraid of something – making a decision, taking action, having a hard conversation with someone you love? Have you been so afraid you avoided that task for months or years?

This is what Torrent of Fear is all about. That stuck state of intense fear that locks you in place and prevents you from moving forward.

I designed this quilt in 2012 after spending the entire year of 2011 completely stuck and unable to make a decision about what to do with the Free Motion Quilting Project once the original 365 designs were shared.

It’s funny now to think about worrying so much about something so simple, but at the time, this was a huge decision. I worried that changing the blog would ruin my business and that fear locked me in place for months.

As I shared in the podcast, this is a lot like treading water and refusing to make a decision which direction to swim in. I felt like I was drowning by slow degrees.

Unfortunately due to bad communication and conflicting information from the publisher, the ship date for all 365 free motion perpetual calendars has been pushed back to July 25th.

Josh and I are so sorry about this delay. I was told originally our shipment of calendars would ship June 22nd, but having dealt with delays and shipping issues in the past, we thought it best to estimate the week of July 10th as the shipment date. I was actually hoping we could ship these calendars out a little sooner than that, but...
