Hi ,

Yes, our new Crafty Cottage has been delivered! We are converting this tiny shed into an insulated, fully finished craft room where I'll be able to film new quilting videos without interruption.

I'm doing most of this work with my dad and sharing each step of the process in a new series of posts at LeahDay.com. Click the links below to read more about what we've knocked out in just the last two weeks:

Over the years I've published over 800 free videos to YouTube that have been watched by quilters all over the world. With this new space, I'm going to be able to take my video production up to the next level and bring you even more awesome projects, inspiring techniques, and step-by-step tutorials.

So this month I could really use your support! To cover the cost of this new construction project we've just launched a fantastic Mother's Day Sale!

This week's design - Barbed Vine - is a wonderful combination of shapes and textures. The gently curving vine a simple base for triangle shaped spikes that fill your quilting space with interesting texture.

This is a perfect filler design to incorporate in sashing or borders because you can easily expand or contract the barbed "leaves' to fill any space.

It's hard to believe we only have three designs left for this quilt along! Just remember you can join in anytime and make your quilt at your own pace while watching the videos within the Dancing Butterfly Quilt Pattern.
