I have been spending the last few weeks ramping up for a great 2019 and it has totally consumed my time. In February, we are celebrating National Embroidery Month by partnering with Baby Lock and fellow embroiderers to bring you a blog tour based on quilting with your embroidery machine. If you’re a frequent visitor here, then you know I love to quilt with my embroidery machine. So I’m really pumped to see what the other bloggers will create! You’ll learn more about that on February 1st.
My friends over at Nancy Zieman Productions are hosting a giveaway on my Quilt with an Embroidery Machine in 8 Easy Lessons book during the month of January.
quilting with your embroidery machine in this book.
Stop by Nancy’s blog and leave a comment to be entered into the drawing. One of my favorite tips in that book is using pool noodles to baste a quilt. Yesterday, I basted a whole cloth quilt in under an hour with the pool noodle technique. So much fun!
In 2019, you’ll find a new block of the month quilt and you will be able to download all of the embroidery designs for piecing and quilting in the hoop! Look for the first block in the coming weeks here on the blog.
I’ll be back to my regular posting schedule this weekend. I hope you had a great holiday and I wish you good health and happiness in 2019.
