Happy New Year !

 

Thank you so much for your kind responses to our last newsletter. I'm delighted to say that James is managing his type 1 diabetes really well. He's doing tests and shots on his own, with a little help from us overnight.

 

It kind of feels like having a newborn baby again, waking up at 2 am every morning! Josh and I are rolling with this new schedule, though we are both a bit more tired and foggy-brained than usual. If we miss sending out the newsletter occasionally, this is the reason why!

 

But I did manage to get back downstairs last week and film a quick quilting video for you. A frequent question I'm asked about QCT, our computerized quilting system is - how do you go back to normal free motion quilting?

 

Learn how I use my longarm without QCT and also how I switch seamlessly from the computer to free hand quilting on my Focus on the Light hoop quilt:

New! I am now uploading videos to Rumble.com in addition to YouTube. Click Here to check out my new Rumble channel where you can watch videos without ads and with a lot better player too!

 

 

I have shared a LOT of tutorials and videos over the years, so many that I have trouble keeping track of it all!

 

So this year I'm not hosting a new quilt along or planning a big, sequential project to follow along. Instead I'm sharing projects and tutorials you may have missed. Many of these I haven't finished!

 

I'm hoping by going back to these projects and pulling them out again, I'll be inspired to get them basted and quilted (finally). Or at the very least I'll figure out the next step in the process.

 

This weeks quilt is a super cheerful, Hokey Pokey throw / large baby quilt. This was one of my very first Quilty Box quilts and what a fun challenge it was! I remember Dad and I both struggling to see if we'd arranged all the pieces properly before sewing it together.

 

This is also a great way to learn how to make Quarter Square Triangles and use up 2-3 packs of 5-inch precuts.

 

 

 

 

This month our 15 inch longarms are on sale when bundled with either the Hoop Frame or Hoop Frame Pro. Check out three different Qnique 15 machines and see which one may be right for you:

Qnique 15R - This version of the machine has an excellent stitch regulator built in and the ability to control the machine with the buttons on the handlebars. Click Here to check out the Qnique 15R + Frame Combos.

 

Qnique 15PRO - Our best Qnique 15 comes with a stitch regulator and ability to stitch faster than the 15R. Using this longarm is a little easier with the touchscreen monitor. Click Here to find the Qnique 15Pro + Hoop Frame Combos for $4999.95.

 

Confused as to which Qnique 15 is the right one for you? Reply to this email with any questions you have and I'll be happy to help you pick a longarm to suit your needs.

 

This sale will run through January 2021 and is only valid on new purchases of a longarm and hoop frame combo.

 

That's it for this week. I hope you're enjoying piecing and quilting through this quiet time of the year and if you don't have anything in progress, you'll give the Hokey Pokey quilt a try!

 

Let's go quilt,
