Loopy Daisy and Heart Leaf - A Free Motion Quilting Tutorial

Good morning all you free motion quilting enthusiast!  I have another little video for you today :)  This video walks you through the basics of creating a loopy daisy and a heart shaped leaf all over free motion quilt design.  This design is very beginner friendly.  The motion is quick to learn and flows very easily.   Hope you enjoy :)   And like all free motion quilting, practice makes perfect :)

Here is an example of the pattern :)

And here's the video :)

100 Blocks Winners

Thank you for all of the kind words on my Shabby Spin block!!!!  Now . . . Let's pick some winners!!

The 3 winners of a 100 Blocks Vol 6 Magazine

 and my Dreaming of Paris and Wonky Irish Chain Patterns are . . . 

Congrats to Michele, Judith, and Duff!!!  I will be contacting you shortly :)

It's snowing here so I am off to enjoy the day making a snowman ;)

So much better!!!

I loved the suggestion from several of you to fold my fat quarters to fit the size of the shelf.  I don't know why this didn't clue into me sooner as it is the same way I fold my yard cuts :)  Anyhow, I was totally inspired and now my shelf looks so much better!!  Thank you so much for the inspiration to just do this!!!

The first pile are my prints that I have kept in their particular "fabric line."  I don't want to mix them up because they are favorites and I plan (eventually) to make a project with them.  The remaining 3 piles are sorted by color.  Although, I am sure some are place "wrong".  Sometimes it is really hard to figure out where a color fits :)  But I have to say, all in all, it looks a million times better and I am loving it!!!  (It also helps me to see what I need more of, tee hee hee :)

Fabric Randomess

Yup, today is totally random!!  Just a few tidbits to share :)

First off, thanks to everyone who gave your Color Option preference!!  It really helped and in the end I  went with option 4 :)  Now to start cutting it out.

Second, I was at JoAnn's this morning to use my 60% off coupon to pick up a bunch of Kona White for an upcoming project.  While I was there I checked out the clearance sale hoping to find more Denyse Schmidt prints.  I didn't find that but I did get lucky with these beautiful tone on tone Heidi Grace prints!!  Perfect stash builders :)

And lastly, I really need to re-organize my Fat Quarter shelf.  It is driving me nuts!!!  I really dislike that it is stacked 2 deep because I can't see all of the prints.  Something for me to work on over the weekend, for sure.   Suggestions welcome :)

Congrats Barbara!!!

I have mentioned my wonderful mother-in-law, Barbara Corry, on this blog several times.  You know, the fabulous binding fairy that hand sews my bindings because I detest doing that!!  She was also my companion at Quilt Market and I can't begin to express how grateful I was that I wasn't all alone my first time.   She is always there for me in my quilting adventures and I love her for that!!

What I haven't mentioned, is that she has also been running for State School Board over the past few months.    And as of early this morning,  I am  happy to report that she won her race and is now a member of the Utah State School Board representing District 15 (aka Washington and Iron Counties).  CONGRATS MOM!!!!  I am so proud of you!!!!

So today is a celebration at the Corry households!!  So grab a piece of cake and celebrate with us!!
