Hi ,

I think I have pumpkin fever! This is my favorite season of the year and it's been so much fun to play with so many cozy autumn quilting designs. Which means we must have a Pumpkin Mini Stencil to add a magical border or edge-to-edge design to our fall quilts:

I quilted this stencil across the border of my tablecloth quilt, then quilted it a second time to stitch it up a notch. Learn all the steps to free motion quilting with the stencil first, then free hand quilting in this video:

Yes, this took double the time since I quilted each border twice, but I'm so happy with the effect! The pumpkins are so cheerful and fun and this tablecloth quilt is going to be a favorite to pull out and enjoy year after year.

And just in case you missed it, here's the other video I shared on this Autumn 4 Patch Quilt using Maple Leaf, Oak Leaf, and Spiderweb mini stencils 👇

I know I'm not the only one in love with pumpkins this year. Grace Company shared this awesome quilting video sharing how to make a pumpkin quilt block three ways:

I love the patchwork pumpkin best! Super cute and so easy to piece. As always, I would love to see your quilting if you've been using the mini paper stencils, please reply to this newsletter and send me a picture to share.

Celebrate Black Friday all Month with Grace Company

All month you can save 15% on most Grace Company products, including our affordable longarm machines and frames. This past week I had a great private class with Kathy and she was surprised to learn she could get a free quilting frame with her Qnique 16X longarm.

The free frames for Qnique 16 and 19 longarms include:

Cutie Breeze Frame - This small hoop frame is great for quilters with small spaces who also need the option for storing the frame when needed.

Q-Zone Hoop Frame - If you have the space to have your frame set up all the time, this small hoop frame is a great choice. You can add frame wheels to make it easy to reposition in your sewing room. This frame also has adjustable height legs so you can set it up for standing or seated quilting.

Q-Zone Queen Frame - This 8 foot frame is a great choice for quilters wanting a faster quilting process. This rolling rail style frame is quicker to load because you can layer the quilt directly on the frame. No more basting on the floor or on a wall! 

I also attach the backing fabric directly to the frame rails using Magnum Magnets, which eliminates the need for leader cloth. These magnets magically fit into the groove on the back of the Q-Zone Queen Frame rail, so pop them on to attach the backing fabric quick as a flash.

When ordering a new Qnique longarm, you'll see the free frame options clearly listed on LeahDay.com. Of course if you have any questions, please reply to this email and ask.

I'm also including a wonderful accessory kit with all Qnique Longarms and the Little Rebel sewing machine this month. This kit includes an free Luminess Light Bar which is incredible at shining light perfectly over your quilting frame or sewing table.

This is a $460 value included with all Grace Company machines in November.

Ready to Try Computerized Quilting?

Last but not least, QCT 6 - our computerized quilting system is on sale through November for 25% off. This is an amazing deal and a great time to upgrade your software if you haven't already.

And just to stick with the fall theme, here's a video featuring the QCT Basket Weave Quilt Along:

The video above features QCT 6 Plus, which is a higher level of the program and allows you to place designs into specific spaces like placing feather wreath motifs perfectly into pieced Snowball quilt blocks like this:

With this level of the software you can import designs, place single block designs, and control the placement to resize within the block so the design fits just right.

Do you need help choosing the right software level to get started? Reply to this email to get help picking the right level to begin your computerized quilting journey.

That's it for this week! It's been really nice to get back to teaching after a long break this year. I learn so much from my students and it's a delight to share and see new quilting skills grow.

Let's go quilt,
Leah Day
