Free Motion Quilting Tutorial for Popcorn

Hi ,

We're kicking off the Leaf Peepers Quilt Along this week AND our 9th anniversary of the Free Motion Quilting Project.

It's hard to believe it's been 9 years since I shared the very first blog posts and simple quilting design. It's been a wonderful adventure to teach and explore this amazing world of free motion quilting designs and textures.

And I'm still not finished creating new designs! This week I shared a new free motion quilting tutorial for Design #492. Click Here to learn how to quilt Popcorn.

Frame Quilting Friday

Are you ready to learn more about longarm quilting?

I've had my Grace Qnique longarm set up on a frame for almost a year now and I honestly haven't gotten much practice in.

It's a very different style of quilting from what I'm used to and sometimes I feel intimidated and worried my stitches won't look perfect.

Each Friday you'll find a new quilting video of me quilting on my longarm and learning something new.

Quilt Three Designs with the Slice Ruler

I also made a fun quilting tutorial on how to use the Slice Quilting Ruler to quilt three different quilting designs. Learn how to quilt Bricks, Peaks, and Gridlines using this simple straight edge ruler.

There are so many creative things you can do with the Slice ruler! This ruler is an 18 degree wedge and I designed it specifically for ruler foot quilting on your home machine or longarm. You can also use this ruler to cut out wedge shapes to create Dresden Plate quilt blocks and tumblers.

I hope you enjoyed our first Frame Quilting Friday! Be looking for something fun next week as we explore quilting on a longarm frame.

Until next week, let's go quilt,
