Hi ,

 

Hello March and hopefully good-bye rain! I'm looking forward to warmer weather and basking in the sunshine this month. Spring cleaning is also on my mind as well as decorating for Easter. I have a few things in this newsletter to help you with that goal as well!

 

But first, check out this awesome March sale from Grace Company on the Qnique 19 longarm:

 

We're also including a bonus accessory kit that includes everything you need to begin quilting with rulers:

 

- Ruler plate for the Qnique 19

- Hopping Foot Set, including a ruler foot

- Slice, Super Slide, and Mini Slide Rulers

- Pack of 10 Bobbins

- Pack of Longarm Needles

 

 

This longarm is compatible with all of our quilting frames - the new Cutie frame, Hoop Frame, Hoop Frame Pro, and Continuum II frame. It's a wonderful Goldilocks size at 19 inches - big enough to quilt a 12 inch block in one pass, but not as intimidating as our largest Qnique 21 longarms.

 

If you've recently picked up a frame and have already grown out of using your home machine on a carriage, this is the perfect opportunity for you. 

 

 

Yes, the tiredness of early pregnancy is still wrecking havoc with my filming schedule. Every time I get ready to turn on the camera, I suddenly feel so sleepy I have to go take a nap.

 

But last week I did share a new podcast episode. Last year I took many months off from the Hello My Quilting Friends Podcast. In this episode, I explain why and how in many ways I've become a new person as I've put my faith and love in Jesus Christ.

 

 

I hope to get back to a regular schedule by April, sharing one video a week on Tuesdays. I'm taking it slow, loving this time of little flutters and an occasional round house punch from our mystery Bun in the oven. It's an utter delight and such a blessing to enjoy this time.

Last year it seems like I couldn't get my hands on a home machine to save my life! Suddenly they've all come in stock all at once and we have great deals on the following:

 

Janome 8200 - A great machine for frame quilting or stationary sewing. This Horizon model has an 11 inch harp space and comes with over a dozen feet - including some awesome feet for quilting!

 

Janome 1600 - This high speed, straight stitch machine is currently on my Hoop Frame. While I don't have tons of space for quilting on a frame, I love the terrific visibility around the needle and the super high speeds.

 

Janome HD1000 - If you have a new sewist or quilter you've been teaching, here is a great, mechanical machine for beginners. The simplistic style and 5 mm feed dogs are some of my favorite features of this machine.

 

Eversewn Sparrow 20 - This is also a terrific entry level machine or class machine. It is computerized with over 80 decorative stitches and wider 7 mm feed dogs.
