Hi ,

The weather has finally turned beautiful in our neck of the woods so that means it's time for a...

We're running a Super Spring Sale and you can save 15% off your order of $20 or more!

This is a great time to invest in the quilting tools or supplies that can make free motion quilting much easier on your home sewing machine.

My favorite free motion quilting tools include:

Supreme Slider - This slick sheet covers your feed dogs and makes moving the quilt under your needle so much easier. The slicker the surface of your machine, the easier it will be to push your quilt smoothly into any position.

Machingers Gloves - There's a reason I wear these gloves in every video I make! The lightweight nylon allows my skin to breathe, while the rubber tips help me grip the surface of the quilt, making it easier to move and control. Without the gloves, my fingers can't get a grip and my hands will just slide over the surface ineffectively.

Little Genie Magic Bobbin Washers - These tiny discs go into any bobbin case, side or top loading, and help the bobbin to spin more smoothly with less chance of thread breaks and bird's nests. I rarely break thread when quilting because these bobbin washers keep the bobbin thread feeding as smoothly as the top thread!

I love these three tools so much, I've put them together into the Ultimate Quilting Kit, which is on sale now during our Super Spring Sale!  Click here to read more about the Ultimate Quilting Kit now

Now let's catch up on the latest videos and posts from the Building Blocks Quilt Along!

This week we're quilting our last Rail Fence quilt block with circles and stairs, a beautiful design that will also work perfectly in our four patch block too!

Josh also quilted this block on video, but choose a totally different way to quilt the design. He had to do a bit more travel stitching in order to knock out all the sections of the block, but it still turned out great. There's definitely no wrong way to quilt these blocks!

Just in case you're looking for it, Click here to find the Spoonflower cheater cloth fabric Josh is using for his blocks. This fabric is a bit pricey, but if your interest is just learning how to free motion quilt, then this is the fastest way to get started without having to cut and piece fabric for your blocks.

Just in case you haven't joined in yet, you can get started today with the Building Blocks Quilt Pattern. The pattern contains all the cutting and piecing instructions, as well as 42 quilting guides so you can mark you block with the designs like the one above.

We've also recently learned a new design called Alien Eggs, which is a funky combination of Pebbling and Trailing Tears:

After stitching this design out in a little rectangle, I really wanted to see it in a real quilt, so I also stitched it out into a Peaceful Goddess Cheater Panel.
