Free Motion Quilting Video: Fern Flower Motif

Better late than never! I finally got my latest video uploaded and edited on YouTube. I had a lot of fun building upon this sample from my Craftsy class and sharing it with you.

I hope you have a lovely Memorial Day if you are here in the States. No matter where you are, I think it's safe to say the men and women who served and died while serving their country should be honored.

Check back with me early next week because I'm finally going to reveal my big secret project!

Fern Feather Floral Motif Finale

Here's my finished pillow top! I really like how it turned out, especially the depth and dimension it appears to have. I'm a little annoyed at myself for the background fill around the edges. It started nice and tiny but got larger and larger as I worked around the edges.

I shot video of the last bit of this project just like I did for two other parts of it, plus there's the footage of it in my newest Craftsy class, Creative Quilting with Rulers, More Techniques and Motifs. (That's a 25% off link there!) Unfortunately, after doing a great job shooting and editing the video on my iPad, I have had no success in uploading it to YouTube.

It has me completely flustered. The video and camera quality of this iPad is great, and editing in iMovie has worked so much better than what I was using before, but uploading it is an exercise in futility. My latest workaround has been to upload it to the iCloud then download it to my laptop (not an i-anything) and now I'm getting ready to upload it to Youtube off the laptop. Ridiculous!

Hopefully, I'll get it on the YouTube soon.

I thought I'd mention my favorite class picks today:

I love Kim Brunner's class! It's a great class for using rulers whether a long arm or domestic machine.

Patsy Thompson has a great class on creating the Ulimate Free Motion Feathers and she's a favorite teacher of mine.

Christina Cameli has a new class on free motion quilting, Wild Quilting; Creative Free Motion Combinations. It's a class right after my own heart, going from one design to another!

My friend Lori Kennedy is taking us from Doodle to Design with free motion quilting.

Then to move away from free motion quilting, I've got my eye on The Ultimate Travel Bag, Elizabeth Hartman's Woodland Animals class (So cute!), and Smart Baking Substitutions: Tricks for Healthful Treats.

There are really a ton of great classes available with Craftsy. I love that I can watch whenever I have time and can send questions to the teacher.

Of course, there are my two classes with Craftsy. I started with Quilting with Rulers on a Home Machine and then followed up with Creative Quilting with Rulers; More Techniques and Motifs. You can see both of these classes on my Craftsy Instructor's page where they are offered at 50% off.

Ruler Work Video: Adding More Lines for More Impact

A quick reminder that today is the last day to for my 15% off Spring Fling sale at Amy's Quilting Adventures. Enter the promo code SpringFling15 at checkout and get the best prices on ruler feet, rulers, templates and more.

I'm still working on finishing up this ruler work sampler from my Craftsy class, Creative Quilting with Rulers (25% off link there!). The basic motif from the class is fabulous, but I wanted to add more to it. We couldn't pack anymore content into the class so you get to see it here. (Want to learn more about ruler work? Take my classes at Craftsy. Their camera work is so much better than my own and you can watch them whenever.)

Bit by bit I'm getting this done. I'm working on my super special project and all of you that have placed orders with me at Amy's Quilting Adventures are a huge, wonderful part of it! Yes, I'm a tease.

I can't wait until I finish the rest of these areas and then dress them up even more. Stay tuned, I'll make sure to do another video.
