Click Here to learn more about Quilter’s Creative Touch – I chose to start with the Beginnings level software because it's cheaper and I could start with a simpler version of the software and not be overwhelmed by too many features.

 

Click Here to find the tablet I’m using – This tablet is the only extra thing you need to purchase for QCT4 to work on your frame. It must be a Windows based tablet with a full sized USB port.

I’m really proud of myself because I build this upgrade almost completely by myself. Josh helped me pick up the longarm and move it off the frame and then put it back on the frame. But other than that, I did all the work!

 

The upgrade kit comes with instructions and brackets for adding automation to the following frames: Continuum, Q-Zone Hoop, Q-Zone Queen, SR2, Majestic, Pinnacle, Bernina Frame, Janome Artistic, and Launchpad.

 

You can even use your home sewing machine with this system. Click Here to read more and see if your frame and machine would work.

 

Here's another quilting video shared a few days early on how I quilted this block perfectly with a feather wreath and echo ditching:

Grace Company announced earlier this month that the prices of most of our products, longarm machines, frames, and accessories will be increasing on October 1st.

 

While yes, we will have many fun holiday specials, I doubt the prices will be as good as they are right now.

 

 

I absolutely love quilting on my longarm machines and I'm so excited to explore automated quilting with QCT4. I have many more fun things to share with you, including how to quilt triangles, stitch in the ditch, and plan pretty borders!

I had a little dance for joy at the mailbox this week! I've received the first sample of my new book, Leah Day's Goddess Quilts: Journey into Light and Love through Art Quilting.

 

I'm also happy to share something I've been keeping secret for months: the Dream Goddess 3 Month Planner and Creativity Journal! I designed this while writing the goddess quilt book and it helped me stay focused while writing the book, journal out all the things that were getting in my way, and plan my days and weeks around achieving my highest prority.

 

There's some fine tuning required, as always, but these two look beautiful and I'm so happy with them.

 

If you're interested in either the book or the planner, please sign up here to be emailed when preorders start. 

 

That's it for this week, . Don't forget all Grace Company prices are increasing on October 1st. QCT4 is still on sale through the end of the month so if this is something you're intrigued by too, make sure to pick it up now. Click Here to learn more about Grace longarms and hoop frames.

 

Let's go quilt,
