Working on this (briefly) tonight. Loving the flowers! #fmq #longarmquilting #apqs #apqslucey #quiltworx #englishgardenquilt
I’m working on Leslie’s quilt right now. I’m trying not to be frustrated by my lack of time to actually work on it. A baby who doesn’t sleep is taking priority. So I’ve been napping whenever I can, which means less quilting time. Good thing the baby is super cute. But he’s been asleep for an hour and a half (which is longer in a row than he managed last night) and so a little quilting got done. And I’m super excited about where it is going. Someday babies will sleep and I will quilt. But right now, I’m off to bed. Wish us luck. #doyouknoweddie #apqs #fmq #feathers #apqslucey #longarmquilting #quiltworx #englishgardenquilt
I'm super excited to announce that my second Kathleen Quilts Academy class is now available-- Designs for Lines (and other Shapes that don't rhyme). In this course we cover some of my favourite quilting designs. We learn designs for lines (think small borders, sashings, etc) some versatile background fills, and designs for shapes (such as squares, diamonds, circles, etc.) This is a great class to learn a huge variety of designs to use on your quilts! You can preview one section for free before you purchase the entire class, so head on over and take a look. On sale until August 6. Link in Profile Kathleen Quilts Academy classes are online classes that can be taken at any time, in your own home. Watch video's of each design, get PDF's of the designs, submit photo's for feedback from the teacher (thats me!) and more. This is the next-best thing to taking an in-person class with me!
Making slow progress on my #nopequilt from class with @jeanwellsquilts and Jan Tetzlaff in Sisters a few weeks ago. Hand quilting takes forever when you only get 5 minutes at a time. It’s called the nope quilt because after a day a half of working on it, I absolutely hated it. So I wrote nope on it. As in, nope, i hate this quilt. And then i immediately started liking it better. #handquilting #improvquilt #improvhandquilting
