Hello my quilting friend!
We're wrapping up the final week of January, , and we have several sales ending at midnight January 31st.
Save 50% on all download books, workshops, patterns, and embroidery designs. We won't be running a big sale like this until November so now is your chance to download a class or Quilt Along block or two twelve!
All Grace Company Accessories are on sale for 20% off until the end of the month. This is the time to pick up bobbins, needles, feet sets, rulers, or extra rails for your frame.
Finally, all Mally the Maker merchandise is on sale for 30% off until February 1st. This is my first fiction novel about a young girl's adventures in a magical quilt world.
Listen below to the first couple chapters of the book (and yes, that's Ms. Bunny sitting next to me!)
Let's Quilt up some Olive Oil!
|
I have a fun new machine quilting tutorial for you this week on quilting Olive Oil. You know, naming these machine quilting designs is half the fun. I sometimes start with the name and try to make a filler design to fit it and sometimes it’s the other way around.
On the Topic of Food... Pear Fabric!
|
After sharing this Olive Oil quilting design, I jumped back to working on my fruit and vegetable fabrics. I've finally finished my first Colorful Pear panel!
I designed this panel to test my pear shapes and colors, and it turned out so nice, I decided to make it for sale. This panel features 16 inch "blocks" with large, medium, and tiny pears dancing over the surface.
Just in case you've never heard of Spoonflower, here's how it works:
You can select any type of fabric using the drop down fields. I love both the Petal Cotton and the Organic Cotton Sateen.
I find the Sateen has a gorgeous luster that doesn't disappear even after multiple washes.
Piecing a Four X Quilt Block
|
This Four X Quilt Block is the most complex block we've pieced so far!
This block combines BOTH half square triangles and hourglass squares and I've updated two extra tutorials to go along with it.
Remember, the pattern to make each Mini Block Monday is included in the video, but I also include it in each week's newsletter as well!
Crafting through a Time of Limbo
|
Are you in limbo? This is a time of waiting with no idea when the waiting will end, or if things will work out the way you want. Hear how I’m wrapping my brain around my limbo time and choosing to be satisfied and content with what I have.
I hope you enjoy all of our new tutorials this week and will share them with your quilting friends. Sharing the videos really helps us out a lot and let's me know you'd like me to continue making them!
Don't forget to check out the awesome sales I mentioned above. All three sales will end at midnight, January 31st.
Let's go quilt,
Leah Day
