Hi ,

Whoo hoo! As you can tell from the title of this email, I'm super excited today to announce the launch of my new class: Free Motion Fillers Volume 2!

This new class features 50 beautiful designs (10 brand new, never published) stitched out in a fun tote bag project. We're working on a smaller scale this time around so we learn the designs and get lots of practice free motion quilting.

In addition to the tote project, you'll also learn about picking quilting scale and thread color, and get a handy Thread Break Cheat Sheet to use whenever your machine starts acting up and breaking thread.

With my great news out of the way, let's get started catching up on all the designs and articles posted to the project this week!

28. Get Tips on Outline Quilting - We're getting started with a brand new version of Express Your Love and I figure it's a good time to review outline quilting! Watch this video to learn how to stay right on the line and maintain good control over your quilt at all times.

FMQ Friday: Many Projects, Steady Progress - I have many projects in progress right now and many UFOs piling up. Learn how I'm making steady progress on all of them by working on every project at least 5 minutes every day.

Finding a Place for Everything - Whoops! I've once again let my studio get too messy to work. Help me sort out my scrap issues and figure out a way of taming all this stuff!

29. Fun with Quilting Motifs - Quilting motifs are beautiful designs you mark over your quilt, then outline, and quilt around with filler designs. Learn this first step to using quilting motifs in your quilts and figure out what you'd like to add to your version of Express Your Love!

Find all of these articles and videos right here on the Free Motion Quilting Project!

That's it for this week! I'm off to get more fabric scraps sorted and a few more drawers cleared out. It seems organization will always be a work in progress!

Let's go quilt,

Leah
