Elegant Embroidered Quilts launching soon and a giveaway!

I'm SO excited because the class that I filmed for Craftsy this summer is launching in just a few days!  (Ironically it is launching the same day I start filming another Craftsy class but more on that later...)  I can finally share some sneak peeks of what I worked on this summer...


Elegant Embroidered Quilts (link coming Wednesday) was designed for intermediate sewers who want to learn to incorporate machine embroidery into their quilting and create projects that are completely unique to them.  The patterns for 3 quilts, 3 smaller projects, and 5 original embroidery motifs are all included in the class.


Sneak Peek #1 (in Anna Griffin's Chinoiserie line on white Kona cotton!)

Sneak Peek #2

Sneak Peek #3 (Just ignore the lady in this picture and look at the quilt... in Jessica Swift's Sardinia line for Blend Fabrics and Kona cotton!)
Sneak Peek #4 (in my Bonjour, Mon Ami line for Blend Fabrics... I wish you could see the undulating border on this one!)

Which "sneak peek" do you like best?  Leave me a comment on this post and I'll pick a winner randomly on Wednesday and they will get a free class!  I can't wait to show you more.

Happy sewing AND embroidering!
