Hi ,
Happy New Year! It's a brand new year and time to set new goals and ambitions for the year.
Every year I take a day to stop and look back on the year and take stock of all that has happened. I like to
do this because it provides a wonderful record of the year, and helps me keep track.Yes, I admit the years are starting to blur together and it's hard to remember when things happened.
I love the quote from Gretchen Rubin - The days are long, but the years are short. This perfectly describes how time seems to pass both very slowly and way too fast all at the same time!
In 2014 my word for the year was Relax. I believe I accomplished so much, and so many things were able to change in my life because I finally learned how to relax successfully. This might sound odd, but if you're not
taught how to do something, even something as simple as relax, you're probably not going to do it properly.
For this coming year, I didn't have to concentrate very hard for my word to pop into my head - it's Create. I want to make stuff! I don't even care what it looks like, I just want to dig in and enjoy the process of making new
things.
We're celebrating the new year by running a sale on all download books, DVDs, and patterns. Save 35% on all downloads until midnight, Monday January 5th!
New Dancing Butterfly Quilt Along
|
The new Dancing Butterfly Quilt Along has
officially launched! This beautiful quilt has been designed to transform you abilities for applique and free motion quilting. I'm so excited to be teaching another online quilt along and helping so many people from around the world learn how to make beautiful quilts.
The finished quilt will measure 64 inches by 72 inches, but because it's another quilt-as-you-go project, it will still be easy to manage on your home sewing
machine.
This quilt is designed for quilters of all skill levels. Yes, some experience with free motion quilting is nice, but I've also included tips for getting started, as well as common stitch issues that beginners run into when just getting started.
The new posts for the Dancing Butterfly Quilt Along will start Monday so grab yourself a copy of the pattern during our sale this weekend and let's make this quilt together!
Remember this pattern includes over 7 hours of video to guide you step-by-step through the Dancing Butterfly Quilt. You can work at your own pace and watch the videos anytime.
The videos will never expire or be taken down after the quilt along is over so you are free to work as fast or slow as you like.
In addition to this new quilt along, I also plan to post new designs and inspiring articles each week to the Free Motion Quilting Project. It's going to be an exciting year, filled with learning new techniques, and creating
many beautiful quilts!
Let's go quilt,
Leah Day
