Quilting It • Freemotion™ Launch
Hello there Friends,
I hope your fall or spring has been a beautiful one.
Tomorrow is the day!! My Quilting It • Freemotion™ video course is launching!!! So excited!! Those of you who’ve already purchased a video or two will receive a NEW link in an email, you’ll then download a PDF which will have all the information you’ll need to access the video you purchased. Because of the size of the videos, you can download the videos directly from Vimeo if you wish, or you can continue to view the videos using the link on the PDF and password provided. Please keep the link and passwords private, no sharing with others. Remember, you do have to have a Vimeo account to view the videos. No worries, it’s free. Go to: Vimeo.com
If you’ve been following along on my Instagram, I’ve been sharing short videos of pictures of the quilts I’ve quilted using the designs in my Quilting It • Freemotion™ course. If you haven’t, you’ll have to go to: https://instagram.com/leishakaye/ and watch the several videos in my feed. I have a few more to post.
Below is a video of the bundle of 10. (If it doesn’t show up correctly in the email, use this link: https://youtu.be/gpZqBIaiwRM )
Here is a look at the intro video…in case you missed that, too...below. (https://youtu.be/5i_iKdnyq2Y ) (Note: The table runner pattern Pumpkins in a Row and fabrics are by @figtreeandco • and was quilted just for this promo video)
Now that launch day is tomorrow, yay, my sale will end at midnight on Friday October 15th MST. If you purchase the entire bundle of 10 designs, you’ll get access to a private Facebook group where you’ll be able to share your work and see some iPhone videos of me quilting client quilts. I hope that you’ll join me.
Now…just a quick look at each design on a quilt. To see more examples of quilts I’ve quilted with these designs, head over to my shop and check out the Quilting It • Freemotion™ listings. There are lots of pictures. You could also look through my blog posts, there are even more pictures than what I can share here.
Above is Stippling in the background behind those beautiful flowers. Stippling is the first design to learn…and it’s a classic!
Loops, like the ones above can be extra sweet! The great thing about practicing loops, it helps you when you go to quilt pebbles.
A great Pebble can add some awesome texture on a variety of different quilts, like this Christmas tree quilt. The swirls are a fun addition to add to your pebbles.
I teach a variety of different Swirls and how/where I quilt them. All found in the Swirl video in my shop.
Crackle is one of those designs that you’ll love to add to just about every garden, winter, or Halloween quilt. It’s versatile, organic, and very forgiving as you quilt it out.
My Swirly Feather design can be a show stopper on an entire quilt, in a border, background, in appliqué, and it’s as fun as it looks. Definitely one of my favorites!
Wood Grain is also one of those organic, forgiving and fun designs to quilt in a small area or over an entire quilt. This will certainly be a favorite to add to your skills.
That Grassy texture in the background of Little Boy Blue, created the perfect texture for this single block. It’s also like Wood Grain and Crackle…organic and forgiving and so much fun.
Overlapping Circles is sure to be a show stopper as well. There are many quilts I’ve quilted it on, like the one above, just look at that background texture. This one is the most popular one so far!
If you noticed the lines in the leaves in the Wood Grain picture above, then you’re sure to love this border. Its called Overlapping Lines. It’s definitely one of my favorites, especially when it comes to borders, when I don’t know that a swirly feather would look good.
I hope you noticed in the pictures the variety of different quilting designs, that go so well together. There is great value in learning all the designs, so you can quilt some of them on the same quilt. I hope you enjoyed a little look into the designs that I have available. I kept getting requests for videos, so I decided to start with 10 basics and/or favorites to teach you. If you’d like to get started with freemotion quilting, start with Stippling the 1st video, and work your way up through each of the videos. This is self paced, so noooo rush. I hope you’ll join me, let’s get quilting. Thanks for being here. Take care,
• Leisha
PS…all of these pictures are from client quilts that I’ve already blogged…check out my previous blog posts from the last few years for all of the pattern or quilting details.
