Time to share more fun details about my new Craftsy class The Free Motion Effect! This is a class all about deciding which designs to use on your quilts and how to apply them to the quilt surface. It’s a class geared to quilting on a home sewing machine with lots of tips for managing bulk and most importantly – designing your quilt so it’s easy to finish quickly.
One of my favorite parts of planning this class was choosing the bright fabrics used in the three featured quilts. I used Island Batik Basics fabrics in the bright colors of waterfall and purple to create the tumbler quilt:
Island BatikCherry and Cream were combined beautifully with red thread in this version of Star Power:
And the entire rainbow of Cherry, Nasturtium, Butter, Leprechaun, Waterfall, Purple, Grass, and Cream were used in the colorful Vase of Feathers wall hanging:

Do not feel bad … I missed a distant relative's wedding reception … showed up on the wrong weekend … then could not get off work for the correct weekend…. BRAIN EXPLOSION … I will never hear the end of it from my hubby.
Looking forward to seeing the new class… and thank you for the discount
