Today my friend Bonnie Hunter is writing about my book over on her blog at Quiltville. If you are here because Bonnie sent you…
WELCOME!!
If you are here because you are a regular reader…
WELCOME to you too!!
I’m writing this before I see what Bonnie has actually written so I hope she liked it?
This is the book.
Modern Machine Quilting by me!
Years ago I was looking after a friend’s children and one of them wanted to know why I had a variety of seasonal decoration hanging on the kitchen cabinet door knobs. Rather than tell her it was because I just hadn’t got around to taking them down, I replied “because every day is a celebration in our house”…
I’ve often thought about that since then. Maybe “every” is a slight exaggeration but I certainly do like a celebration!
So, today we are celebrating the book with a couple of give aways.
Bonnie has one over at her page where you can win a copy of the book. Make sure to sign up for that one. She’ll be letting me know the winner and I’ll be mailing a signed copy out next weekend.
AND, leave a comment here telling me your favorite method of quilting your quilts ( hand, machine or check book?) and I’ll be picking some winners (at random) to win some of my favorite quilting notions, including a Kwik Klip for closing your safety pins, a chalk pencil, some batting tape and a packet of #80 sharp needles. There might be some extra goodies in the package, and there might be more than one winner…
I hope that sounds good. I’ll look forward to reading your comments. I’ll be announcing the winner next Sunday morning so you have until midnight (CST) Saturday 17th to leave a message!
IF you don’t want to wait to see if you’re a winner you can buy Modern Machine Quilting wherever you usually buy quilting books. Your local quilt store will be happy to order it for you if they don’t have it in stock. You can find it at the Fons and Porter on-line store where you will receive an instant digital table runner with your purchase and of course there is always Amazon…
Thanks for stopping by. Sign up for updates on my Facebook page .
Let’s make every day a celebration in all our homes!
I found out about this book through Bonnie Hunter’s blog. I usually hand quilt, but have done a little machine quilting with my 40 year old Singer. This just might help me expand my horizons. That’s always a good thing, I think.
Bonnie sent me. I machine quilt but very simply. Nothing fancy
I would love to have a copy of your book. I enjoy reading your blog! I arrived at this page from Bonnie Hunter’s page. Thanks for sharing your knowledge- I do my quilting by Maxine, and I want to improve?
I quilt by cheque usually, but did a FMQ class today with my Modern Quilting Guild. Your book will be perfect for my future quilts!
I’m here – Bonnie sent me – because I always want to learn better ways of machine quilting. I have a longarm but find I do much better work on my domestic – and it’s a plus that I get to sit and quilt on my domestic
Bonnie sent me. Your book looks great. I quilt all my own quilts except for larger than twin size. I would love to learn more modern quilting designs.
I found your blog thru Bonnie. I machine quilt but most often I’m stuck in the ditch! Would love to widen my horizons.
Bonnie sent me. I want to learn how to machine quilt and would love to have your book!
I would love to learn this technique
Please enter me for the draw.
Bonnie sent me. I’m working on quilting a special quilt right now and I’m frustrated that I can’t yet do what I would like to do other than simple lines. I’m positive your book would help. Thank you for the chance to win.
Bonnie sent me. I have quilted a few baby quilts with simple diagonal lines but have been to intimidated to try quilting anything larger.
Hi, I’m here from Bonnies blog. I love all her support of everyone. I enjoy hand quilting but it is just so slow. I really need some inspiration for machine quilting as I give my quilts to charity and would like to do more than just stippling. I would love to have your book to follow and help me out.
Bonnie sent me. I machine quilt. Very basic as I’m new to this.
Bonnie sent me here. I quilt my quilts on my domestic machine and am always interested in more ideas. This looks perfect. Thank you for writing it.
Hi Catherine, nice blog fist time here. Bonnie sent me. I will cine back often to read more. I machine quilt my own quilts. I like your book of neat ideas. Thanks for a chance.
Dolores
I’m here because Bonnie sent me and because I would really like to improve my quilting.
Bonnie sent me. I love the book! It looks like it would be a great addition to my quilting library. I machine quilt.
I quilt by checkbook of sorts, renting time on LQS longarm. Your book looks beautiful and intriguing.
I am here because Bonnie sent me! Your book looks great! I am quilting my own on a machine! One or two get hand quilted.
Bonnie sent me too from the UK 🙂 I have seen your work from afar and admired it.
Bonnie sent me too. I would really like to feel comfortable quilting my own stuff. I have only done straight line quilting and have been wanting to learn more. Your book looks wonderful!
Bonnie sent me and I quilt my quilts on my DSM, however not very well. I have “sacrifice” quilts so far and am looking for continued help and your book sounds like one for me,needing to improve.
Hi Bonnie sent me! I’ve gotten interested in modern quilting and your book looks very exciting! Congratulations and best wishes on its success. And thank you for an opportunity to win!
Bonnie sent me ! And I really want to concentrate on quilting my own quilts. I think your book would be a great boost in that direction!
I’ve yet to do my own quilting,just stuck I guess. Hoping your book gives me the push I need. Thanks for the giveaway!
I’m here because I’m a regular reader of your blog. I quilt with my Bernina unless I have a strict deadline, then I quilt by checkbook. Catherine, thank for the fun giveaway opportunity!
Bonnie sent me and I’m intrigued with your book. I hope to learn more about this method of quilting.
bonnie sent me. I love machine quilting. I have a mid arm for my large quilts and a bernina for babies.
I come from Bonnies blog and she wrote so enthusiastically about your book that I would really like to win a copy. I love my longarm, but quilt the smaller things on my domestic machine.
Bonnie sent me. Machine quilting is something that I would like to learn. I usually quilt by checkbook. I think it would be fun to try it.
Came from Bonnie’s blog. I mostly use my long arm but occasionally use my sewing machine. More knowledge is definitely better. Congrats.
Bonnie sent me; I quilt my quilts on my domestic machine and am always looking for new styles and ideas. Thanks for this!
Bonnie sent me to your blog! I loved reading some of your posts. I quilt with my Millennium!
I have done some machine quilting but only on small projects. I tend to only make small projects as I am afraid of attempting a big one on my machine.
Bonnie sent me. I quilt small projects on my machine but sent big ones out to be quilted.
This book sounds like what I have been waiting for. I love to use my walking foot and new ideas are always welcome
Yes, Bonnie sent me. I love the fact you “celebrate” quilting because that’s what we do here in Southwest Mo. in 2018 we will once again have our biannual quilt show celebration. I love books and especially machine quilting books. Always looking for new quilting ideas. Thanks for a wonderful new addition to my library on all things quilting.
HI Bonnie sent me. Thanks for the giveaway! What a great looking book. I can always use tips and ways to help me quilt on my domestic machine. I’m still learning and love the process.
Bonnie sent me today but I read your blog regularly as well. I bought your video and took a class from you in Birmingham. I had great success using an overall spiral on quilt using your technique.
I do machine quilting on my small quilts. Larger ones are sent out (quilting by checkbook). I’ve done 1 large one on a longarm, but man … it took all day and I was exhausted. Decided letting others do it worked out better for me (on the really big quils).
Thanks for the chance to win!!
My most used method of quilting has been with a checkbook, but I am finally quilting with my Bernina more all the time and have been quite happy with the results. Need more tips and help so your book came out at a perfect time. Thanks for your instructions!!
Quilting on my Bernina, simple but I’m trying some free motion and want to learn more. Bonnie sent me… Thanks for your generosity and looking forward to learning from your book even if I don’t win.
Bonnie sent me. I machine quilt but very basic still. I am looking to learn more. I am still a beginner
Hi
Bonnie sent me here. Looking for a chance to win your new book.
Have really enjoyed reading your blog and am now following you on FB
I love that you don’t need a fancy machine! I’m still using an old Singer that I inherited from our mother. When it dies, I’ll consider buying a better machine.
Oops! I forgot the goal!! I usually sew and finish them myself, but the mega quilt that I made for my sister is being machine quilted.
Bonnie sent me and I am so excited for this extra chance! I am a novice at machine quilting… Basically stitch in the ditch. If I get brave and stipple I use invisible thread so my stitches do not show. I am ready to learn your method and throw away the invisible thread!
I’m a hand quilter who has done some straight line machine quilting. Looking forward to learning more, so I can do both. I’m here thanks to Bonnie.
Hi Catherine How wonderful that both you and Bonnie have your books as a giveaway. I quilt sometimes by hand, or by machine if the quilt is small. The big quilts I pay a long arm Quilter!! to quilt (very expensive in Australia so only about one each year go out to be quilted). I would love to be more versatile with using my domestic machine. Your book wouid certainly provide lots of encouragement. Thank you for the opportunity to participate
Hi! I am here because Bonnie sent me. I have not quilted on my machine and would love to learn. Quilting by checkbook is what I have done, and I am nervous about doing it myself. But I want to try. Thanks for the chance to win a book.
Bonnie sent me. I am fascinated by the modern approach to quilting. There is so much to learn and so little time!!
I do mostly domestic machine quilting but also rent time on a long arm. So happy for you and your success. Love you seance of humor
Hi Catherine, Bonnie Hunter sent me and I am currently quilting my quilts by check book. When you do a quilt a month that’s a big chunk out of my checking account on a fixed income! Sometimes I trade longarming for binding, love hand stitched binding. Thanks for your offer to win .
Good morning, Bonnie sent me. I quilt many different ways. Usually machine quilt. Just learning on a used Longarm. Always ready to learn something new.
Thank you for the chance to win! Bonnie sent me to your site. I quilt my own quilts – I used to hand quilt all of them and still do one occasionally, then moved to my Bernina 440, but now use my Tiara sit down long arm. I am always looking for more ideas on free motion quilting. The spiral on the front cover has me intrigued…..
Bonnie sent me! I machine quilt (well I try).
Bonnie sent me! I quilt on my domestic machine, mostly with my walking foot. Would love to learn more! Thanks for a he giveaway!
Bonnie sent me. I quilt all of my quilts. Would love to learn some new things to do.
Bonnie sent me too. I machine quilt on my domestic machine. I have only been quilting for a couple of years so I’m trying to learn everything I can & Bonnie said such great things about your book, it would be a great start to my FMQ library. Thanks for this chance to win.
Looking forward to buying if I don’t win Bonnie’s gift-away! Hehe
Machine quilt… but mostly I just make quilt tops… ha!
Hello Catherine. Came here from Bonnie’s site, but I’ve seen you on Quilting Arts. Your book was already on my wish list on Amazon, but it would be nice to win. I started out a hand quilter but have been working on machine quilting. Recently have been granted access to a long-arm, so looking forward to learning that as well.
I will machine ne quilt small items, however if its larger than a baby quilt then I will send it out.
Bonnie sent me! The quilting pictures in your book have touched my creative side. I quilt using a dsm and enjoy all that control at my fingertips. If I don’t win a copy, I will buy one!
Good morning! And thanks for the opportunity to win! Bonnie sent me over, and I do quilt with my checkbook, usually!
Bonnie sent me. I machine quilt, hand quilt, and quilt by check. However, hand quilting is my favorite.
I read Bonnie’s blog. I’ve always been scared of trying to machine quilt anything bigger than a baby quilt. Trying to stuff all the fabric in a large quilt under a small machine throat is very difficult. Which leads me to paying someone although I’m not always satisfied with that either. Would love to learn a better way to finish a whole quilt myself!
Hi Bonnie sent me .. I quilt small to medium quilts but stick to straight line quilting. Have yet to master FMQ, need to do lots of practice. Yoyr book looks like just the inspiration I need. Thanks for the chance to win one.l
I quilt my own quilts on my domestic machine. I do a combination of walking foot and free motion designs! I would love to win your book! Thank you!
Your book sounds like one I need I do all my own quilting on my BERNINA. Bonnie sent me and I will be looking around your site thanks do the chance to win. [email protected]
Bonnie sent me. I only do some very basic quilting on my faithful Bernina. The thought of ripping out quilting mistakes is very daunting.
Bonnie sent me. (Feels like a secret club or speakeasy!) The big quilts I quilt by checkbook. The little ones I quilt simply by machine. The really special ones I intend to quilt by hand.
I am happy that Bonnie sent me! Your book would just be the one I need for expanding my quilting beyond the straight lines and double stitches as I am used to apply to my quilts now…. thank you!
Bonnie sent me to you! I’d love your new book.
I am learning to quilt on my domestic machine!
Visiting you from Bonnie’s link and want you to know I adore your work! My quilts are machine quilted on a longarm and on occasion, my domestic machine. Looking forward to learning all the skills your book has to offer. Thank you for hosting the give away!
Bonnie sent me! I gave up hand quilting bc it takes so long. I am trying to learn how to machine quilt on my domestic. So far, I only know how to stitch straight lines. Would love to study your book!
Bonnie sent me. Book looks very interesting. Would love to win.
Hi Bonnie sent me! Thanks for the chance to win. Right now I quilt by checkbook but would love to do my own!
Bonnie sent me. I use all the forms of quilting. I’m still in the learning stages of quilting. I love quilting. ❤️
Bonnie sent me, too!! I started out with a domestic machine but several years ago got a sit-down 16″ and it is great. Your book looks awesome and I will have to buy it if I don’t win it!!!
my favorite method is hand quilting, but I also machine quilt.
Bonnie sent me too. Would love to read your book to learn more about machine quilting! Happy Quilting!
I like both hand and machine quilting, but do mostly machine quilting. I read about your new book on Bonnie’s blog and am looking forward to checking it out.
Bonnie mentioned you on her blog, so, being the curious sort that I am, I had to come. I’m glad I did, I was really drawn to your work with the log cabin and hexie pattern. I love the effect of the design just fading at the edge. Don’t stop creating, we need to see more!
Bonnie sent me. I am trying to machine quilt but need a LOT more practice i have long or short stitches in the same row
Bonnie sent me. I have only hand quilted,but want to start quilting on my regular machine.
Bonnie sent me and I’m glad I came!! I’m a new quilter having pieced only 4 tops and quilted 2 of them on my domestic so far. I love trying new methods and just took a longarm class at the local library – for now, I think I’ll stick with a walking foot on my Brother and a little hand quilting for smaller projects. I will be back!
I’ve was sent by Bonnie Hunter. I’ve tried machine quilting and wish I was better at it. Your book and methods look great and would love to try them out!
Bonnie sent me too! I’d love to win…I need to find a new way to quilt…I’m bored with the same old ways I’ve been quilting on my machine. Thanks for such a great giveaway, I’ll be following you on FB =)
Bonnie sent me too, too. My goal is to quilt all my own quilts on my own domestic machine. I love hand quilting but it’s too slow and hurts too much. I haven’t got the hang of free motion yet but I love the walking foot and since I bought a new machine I am trying out quilting “in the hoop”. Your book sounds awesome, just what I need!
Bonnie sent me. I have a longarm and am always looking for new ideas both for it and my domestic machine. I love machine quilting.
Bonnie sent me. I have tried machine quilting but it’s not my fav thing so mostly I quilt by check book!
I machine quilt my quilts and am always ready for new ideas and techniques.
Bonnie sent me. Would love to practice a new technique. Love to use my machine to quilt.
Hi Catherine! Bonnie referred me to your blog. As a fairly new piecer, I currently quilt with my checkbook. I have only quilted table runners and smaller with my domestic machine and a walking foot; using simple straight grid. I am excited to learn more from you, your book looks amazing.
Bonnie sent me too! I thank you though for the opportunity to learn a new technique to finish my quilts. Mostly I use my checkbook but would like to do some on my own. Thank you
Just starting out quilting my own quilts. So much to learn! Would love to have a copy of your book and DVD to help with my new adventures! Thanks to you and Bonnie for the chance to win.
Bonnie sent me to your site. I am a novice machine quilter of small quilts otherwise I quilt by check
Bonnie sent me and said that with your book I would finally learn to quilt on my home machine. I sure do hopeso
Bonnie sent me but only because I read her blog before yours today! I already follow you and have been since you came to our guild (Hearts ‘n’ Hands, O’Fallon IL) and I took BOTH of your classes. Your book looks fabulous!
I forgot to mention that I love machine quilting on my domestic sewing machine. Complete freedom! I was a hand-quilter but I guess my hands have stopped working the way they’re told (it’s an age-thing, I understand!). So I learned to machine quilt but there’s always MORE to learn! Again, your book looks fabulous!
Bonnie sent me to read your blog and enter to win. Love your work.
Bonnie Sent Me and my favorite way to quilt is checkbook… That is about to change as I am making many baby quilts and those are doable by machine. Sure hope your book comes to my house.
Bonnie K Hunter sent me. I haven’t finished a quilt yet. I want to try all methods out there when I do finish.
[email protected]
Bonnie sent me and my favorite quilting method is machine. I would love to have your book to learn new techniques. Thank you for this fun offer!
Bonnie sent me! I quilt my own quilts but they’re not that fancy. This book looks it would help expand my horizons.
Bonnie sent me. Your book looks fabulous. Lots of interesting designs.
I am a hand quilter at heart…would do them all that way but there just isn’t enough time. So for those other quilts…I machine quilt them on my Husquvarna 870. Mostly with the walking foot but will sometimes do free motion quilting.Tuning into your blog from Bonnie’s blog too!!!
What a generous giveaway! Thank you! I did come from Bonnie”s site. I love quilting and I do it on a longarm, but have always wanted to try hand quilting as I really enjoy handwork, especially needlework applique and even enjoy hand sewing the binding.
Thanks to Bonnie for sending me over here. I machine quilt my quilts on a Singer Stylist that was gifted to me. I put it on the corner of the pool table with cardboard sewing mats under it. I love to use the white quilting gloves.
I’m learning to machine quilt. And, you taught me what I know because I bought your video instruction on Interweave. I’d love to have your new book. I’m a fan and a regular reader of your posts. Love that you include so many pictures.
Bonnie sent me over to your blog. I am attempting to learn machine quilting. Lucky for me I have 2 sisters with long arms…
Hi. Bonnie sent me here. Enjoyed reading your blog. I tie everything. I feel the need to go to machine quilt especially for quilt as you go. Thank you.Enjoy
Your book looks beautiful. I’m just starting to machine quilt and would love to read your book. Bonnie sent me 🙂
I am a Bonnie fan, I love to hand,quilt but I am developing severe arthritis in my hands. I don’t want to give up quilting so machine quilting will be next. I hope to master it with the assistance of your book!
I love quilting my own quilts myself on my domestic sewing machine. I’m looking forward to seeing a copy of your book. Happy sewing!
Bonnie sent me. I hand quilt but would love to be able to quilt on the sewing machine. I would love to win a copy of your beautiful book! I saw it (just a picture of the cover) somewhere else and was very interested in it.
Bonnie sent me! I am a new quilter and am learning to quilt on my domestic machine. I have 5-6 quilts in the works because I love the piecing. I’m hoping to learn to love the quilting too.
Bonnie sent me. I’m new to quilting and appreciate teachers like you who can help me on my learning journey. I quilt on my Bernina when I’m not having a session with my seam ripper
Bonnie sent me too! I’m really here, though, because what I saw on Bonnie’s site showed me some beautiful designs and what looked like specific, but not to difficult-to-understand, instructions. Your work is wonderful.
I am here because Bonnie sent me. I have tried all quilting methods, hand, machine, credit card, and long arm. I like them all, and want to gain more confidence on machine-both domestic and long arm.
Bonnie shared the link to your blog. I machine quilt small pieces but have a friend who has a long arm business who does my large ones.
Heading over to your Facebook page next!
I just saw your book recommended on Bonnie Hunter’s blog. It looks very helpful for domestic machine quilting. I quilt my quilts on my home machine. Usually meander or straight line. I dream of improving my skills.
Bonnie sent me! I machine quilt most of my quilts but nothing fancy. Would love to learn some new ways to quilt.
Bonnie sent me, too. The books looks so very helpful. I try to quilt on my domestic machine, but also use the checkbook.
I am enjoying reading some of your other posts, too.
Bonnie sent me too! LOL, I’d love to learn hand quilting but know I don’t have that much dexterity now so I want to learn to machine quiltd
I’m here because of Bonnie’s blog. I would love to win your book as I quilt by machine and would like to learn some new techniques and designs.
I’m learning to machine quilt but usually I quilt by check book. Your book looks intriguing! btw… Bonnie sent me!
Bonnie Hunter sent me to read your blog and a chance at winning your boo.
Thank you for the opportunity.
Cindy
I’m here from Quiltville 🙂 The designs I’m seeing from your book look wonderful! Great idea to companion you DVD with written instruction. Thank you for the sweet giveaway! My favorite task in quilting in machine piecing…I like hand piecing too except for the prep. I quilt on my longarm and my domestic as well.
Bonnie Hunter sent me to your blog. I love hand quilting my quilts but would like to know how to machine quilt. It would make giving gifts a bit quicker.
Thanks for the opportunity to learn more about machine quilting. I have been a follower of Bonnie’s and have been trying to learn to do more than stitch in the ditch! Thanks!
Bonnie sent me! I quilt on my domestic machine. I could really use some more ideas. Thanks
Bonnie sent me! Your book looks very interesting–I have quilted by check mostly–did a couple of small quilts on my home machine–but would like to learn more.
Bonnie sent me! I quilt with my domestic machine, but really needs improvement.
I enjoy hand quilting but to some machine
Bonnie sent me, I love big a stitch quilting!
Here via Quiltville. Machine quilting, absolutely my preferred technique! Feathers still pose a challenge.
Bonnie sent me! I usually pay for long arming but I love the look of straight line quilting.
by hand
Bonnie sent me and am happy she did. I have just begun my journey with machine quilting and am thankful for all of the knowledge, tips and techniques shared.
Found you through Bonnie, I have a Long arm but I am a very basic at this point. I really need help!
I’ve just learned (am still learning) to free motion quilt and love it. Previously, my quilts were primarily hand quilted. I’m looking forward to your book and want to learn some straight line quilting techniques.
Bonnie sent me.
Bonnie’s blog sent me here. I am starting to long arm but realize there is a lot to learn. I would be very interested in reading you book to get some ideas. Thanks
First time on. Your blog. Am here because Bonnie sent me. How my quilts get quilted depends on the size and how detailed I want it? So I use my hand, my machine and my checkbook at various times. Thanks for the giveaway and I bookmarked your blog.
I follow both you and Bonnie. New to FMQ and still searching for the best method. I think I stop start enough to know that also stopping for pin removal is trying my patience. I’d like to reach that ‘zen’ mode of quilting that I hear about. Ah, music and sewing what could be better. Someday…
Bonnie sent me. I machine quilt on my home sewing machine. Very simple using my walking foot. I would love to learn to quilt as beautifully as you.
Bonnie sent me. I use my regular sewing machine with a 6 inch throat to quilt my quilts. I am always looking for new ideas and would love to win your book.
I love Bonnie Hunter’s style and joy of teaching. Her blog is my favorite read on Facebook every morning. I only starting quilting a year ago but I love to free motion quilt on my little machine. Every project has become a new learning experience for me. I will now follow your blog as well.
Also here from Quiltville! My favorite is checkbook, although I have quilted one on my domestic. Your booklooks amazing!
I usually machine quilt, but I’ve only done about 5 quilts on my own and need to learn more!
Hello Catherine,
I follow Bonnie Hunter and saw her post about your wonderful book. I have always (until the last few years) been a hand quilter, and I still do for very special quilts. Unfortunately I am much better at creating quilt tops than getting quilts finished. I have quilted a couple of table runners on my home machine and I think that the tips in your book can improve my techniques. Thank you for the chance to win.
Thank you so much for your fabulous book unlocking the mystery of Machine quilting.
I am here thanks to Bonnie Hunter. Your new book looks fabulous. I would love to try some of your patterns and techniques. Thanks.
Hi! Bonnie sent me. I machine quilt my quilts, but I do very simple stitching. I would love to improve and expand my horizons. Your book looks great. Thanks for the giveaway!
Quilting at my house = checkbook. I would love to win your book and gain the confidence to quilt my own Linus quits before I pass them along. Bonnie sent me, but I think I will enjoy adding your blog to my list. Karen Campbell
Bonnie sent me to your blog. Depending upon the size of my quilt, I decide how to quilt it. Baby quilts I quilt by machine and big quilts I quilt by cheque. I used to hand quilt everything and have quilted one small quilt by hand within the last year.
I also saw your blog on Bonnie’s site. So far I do handquilting. I would love to give my sewing machine a try.like to try out new techniques.
Thank you and greetings from South Africa
Bonnie sent me! My last experience with LAQ has finally convinced me to learn to quilt my own quilts. I have several that would look great with a simple Baptist Fan or some straight line quilting. Great to meet you & I’ll be reading your blog now.
I’m from Bonnie! I’ve only quilted baby-size quilts on my machine. Mostly I quilt by check. Your book looks great–love the cover choice!
Followed Bonnie’s link. I am a longarmer and domestic quilter and struggle with doing modern quilts.
Hi Bonnie sent me. I machine quilt, and very much a beginner and would love to learn to do more detailed work. I usually just simple meanders or do straight lines. I’ve never gotten a book about it but your book looks great and I would love to win either yours or Bonnie’s drawing. Bonnie is drawing on my Anniversary so maybe that will give me a little “luck”. Thanks for the giveaway!
Good morning
I just read about your new book from Bonnie K Hunter. I am new to quilting and have only done stitch in the ditch type on one and two others I sent to LAQ to be finished. I want to learn how to do more with my domestic machine.
I quilt mine on my Millenium long arm. If I didn’t do it myself, I know i’d never pay to have them all quilted.
I found you through Bonnie. I have done my own, but usually stitch in the ditch method. 6 years ago, I made a special top that I want to do something special with, but am too intimidated to start.
I quilt by check, mostly due to being self employed with little time. I hope to quilt for myself more. I bough the craftsy class on quilting with you walking foot and this would be a great addition to my learning tools.
Bonnie sent me. For my small quilts, I quilt on my Bernina 153. For big quilts, I quilt by check!
Checkbook at the moment, but I bought rulers so I’m looking forward to that. Your book would be the icing on the cake! With your book my anxiety about starting may finally disappear.
I also arrived here from Bonnie’s blog. I usually do applique and hand quilt but the itch is there to try some machine quilting. Time to expand my horizons.
Gosh, I know I’d love your book! I’m always interested in fresh, new tips to make my sewing and quilting better! A signed copy would be even better! I like to think of every day being a celebration too. Some days we really need to poke around for that moment worth celebrating, but just knowing that we’re alive and well should be enough, right? Celebrate every breath! Congrats on your new book!
I have made several quilts but not enough to determine my favorite method. My goal this summer is to play more with FMQ and tried a variety of methonds/designs. I like to wing it and I am realizing that I need to follow the suggestions of drawing, practicing then going to the quilt. Your book looks interesting and I hope I win! Oh, Bonnie sent me!
It’s nice to meet you. Bonnie introduced us. 🙂 I love to quilt with my sewing machine. Nothing fancy but I sure have fun! Somewhat straight lines, curves, simple meander. It’s all fun.
Yes, Bonnie sent me. I love to machine quilt my quilts, but my efforts have been pretty tame. I would love to develop more courage in attempting this technique. Your book sounds like it is just what I need. I hope I am a lucky winner of a copy. I much appreciate the opportunity. Thanks!
Found your blog through Bonnie Hunter. I am a “novice” machine quilter; usually sticking to walking foot, straight lines. Occasionally I venture out to using some of the deco stitches on my Janome. My efforts so far are “novice” in appearance and I am always afraid I am going to ruin my pieced quilt top that I worked so hard on. Love a chance to win and explore your book.
I would so love to win a copy of your book. I read about this awesome giveaway on Bonnie Hunter’s blog. This is so gracious of you. Would love to add to my library.
I struggle with my idea of perfection in machine quilting, but keep slogging on. Anything to keep the learning process going would be great.
I’m at a transitional point in finishing my quilts. I use to do all my own machine quilting. I then begin working more as the children got older then it was all done by checkbook.
I haven’t been happy lately with the quilting, also it has gotten expensive. I want to do my own
Hi, this looks like a must have book. I can’t afford a long arm so I am teaching myself how to machine quilt. I am also Woking on a hand quilting quilt. I got a ruler set for my home machine but have been ill and unable to practice muh, but I am ready to get back to it. Bonnie sent me over as She heads to California.
Your book looks wonderful. Bonnie sent me over. I mostly hand quilt my quilts, except baby quilts. Then I machine quilt them on an antique Singer sewing machine. ( I have 20 machines but who’s counting). Sew on ~ ~ ~
HI Catherine! Your book looks so wonderful! Bonnie’s Quiltville sent us over here and I just wanted to say congrats on a job well done!! Thank you 🙂
Found your book on Bonnie’s blog! Looks very informative, and great photos. I use my domestic sewing machine to quilt my tops. I have several machines that I use, and I’m always glad to learn more tips.
Bonnie sent me. I love quilting on the Grace frame for Bernina with my Bernina 830.
Hi Catherine. I heard about you from Bonnie, but was amazed at the opportunity you are giving folks. I just purchased a Baby Lock Jazz for the express purpose of learning how to quilt (can’t afford to send Quilts out all the time). The process is a bit daunting, so your book will be a good bridge. Thank you, and much success with your new venture. : )
Bonnie sent me. I usually quilt by check but I’d like to start using my machine more. Walking fot quilting would be right up my alley.
Bonnie sent me and I’m glad I’ve found you. I’m a beginning free motion quilter on my domestic machine. I’m excited to learn more and make progress with my skills. Winning your book would be super!
Thanks for the giveaway! I am here from Bonnie’s blog and am always looking for tips on how to improve my machine quilting. Thanks!!!
Bonnie sent me! Your book looks very interesting. Big quilts get done by check, smaller ones simple lines, some echoing, depends on the design. Since I also do quilts for charity (Comfort Quilters, Fairbanks, IN 47849) I like to get them quilted fast, as there is always a need!
Bonnie Hunter sent me and I just signed up to get your emails. Would love to learn about machine quilting. Right now, I am either doing stitch in the ditch or writing a check. Since most of my projects are on the small side, learning more patterns and options for FMQ would be outstanding and you book looks like it would provide an awesome start to that process.
I took a class from you many years ago at Pieceful Heart & love your style of teaching. I have done some hand, machine & checkbook – LOL. I want to do more machine now that I’m retired.
Hi Catherine! The book looks awesome. Lately, I’ve been renting time on a Longarm machine to quilt my quilts myself. I’m really enjoying it!
Bonnie sent me over because I would love to learn more about machine quilting and your book looks like a great source.
Bonnie sent me. I machine quilt. Love your book.
Hi Catherine! I’m a regular follower of your blog, I love everything you do! My favorite method of quilting is on my wonderful Bernie – Bernina 550QE. But, I quilt by all three methods with check being the easiest! I’m looking forward to learning more from your book – can’t wait to see it in person. Thanks for always inspiring me!!
I came from Bonnie’s blog. Your book looks wonderful! I usually machine quilt on my dsm — very basic straight line quilting. Some quilts need more, and then I do, very slowly, hand quilting. Would love to be able to do more on my sewing machine. Thanks!
I love EPP plus many others but this would be good for me because I’m scared to death to try to machine quilt my own tops but I so want to learn.
Bonnie sent me! I quilt small quilts on my domestic machine and big ones with my checkbook. I haven’t ventured far into free motion or rulers just yet. But having recently become an empty nester, it’s a great time for me to learn something new!
Found you through Bonnie’s Quiltville blog. Hand quilting is my favorite at the moment.
I first saw your book on Bonnie Hunter’s sight. It looks great, and something that would help my machine quilting. I sure can’t do “hand” anymore, and I like to do my own quilting on my machine. The only time I send out is when it is far too large,like a king.
Thanks so much for what looks like a great book.
Hi, Bonnie sent me over and have made many “blankets” but never a real sandwich quilt. I have an old slant shank machine and don’t know what kind of foot to use. Would love to learn your technic.
I admit, unless it’s small, I quilt by check book
I use my domestic sewing machine. I love the look of modern quilting.
Another Bonnie follower here…. in the past I have hand quilted, and use the Kwik Klip for my pins. Recently I have been trying some basic machine quilting and hope to keep practicing. Thank you for the chance in your draw.
Hi, I have been reading your blog for some time now, also read Bonnies daily. Looking forward to your new book. I do straight line quilting but mostly hand quilting. Right now I am hand quilting a quilt for a Grandson due in September and machine quilting one for his big brother . There must be an easier way.
Bonnie sent me over with very high praises of your book.. I slowly but surely have been getting more confident in my abilities w/ my Bernina, but still my go to gal is wonderful with her long arm.
I am always looking for new ideas and help for machine quilting on my home sewing machine. Bonnie’s blog suggested coming here with hopes of winning a copy of your book.
I came from Bonnie”s also. I have more than 20 tops that need to be quilted. I’ve only done quilt in the ditch and would like to learn another way to finish them. Right now they are missing the hugs that they deserve.
Good morning. Bonnie Hunter sent me and I would love to learn more about machine quilting on my regular sewing machine. Thanks so much. Your book looks awesome!
Bonnie sent me over. Your book looks great and thanks for the chance to win. I machine quilt and do want to try something new..
I currently quilt by check, but want to learn how to quilt on my domestic machine.
Bonnie sent me. lol But I think I will be staying. i like to FMQ on my domestic, but would love a long arm. Some day….. Thanks for sharing. This looks like a great book
I love hand quilting and machine quilting makes me want to pull my hair out! Good thing my husband likes to machine quilt. This book would be good for both of us.
Bonnie sent me too. I tend to prefer hand quilting only because I haven’t mastered machine quilting……..yet! Your new book looks like the perfect way to learn on my home machine, keeping my fingers crossed & thank you for the opportunity 🙂
Bonnie sent me. Looking forward to learning some new techniques as I quilt as I go. My preferred quilting technique.
I followed Bonnie’s link to your blog, would love to fave a copy iof your book. I do free motion quilting and walking foot quilting, it’s my favorite part of making a quilt!
Am learning to quilt on my home machine, and learn something with each quilt done. 6 so far, and a way to go!
I favor machine quilting, both walking foot and FMQ. Loved having you at Coastal Quilters! Glad I picked the flower talk. Very well done. You were definitely a hit, both there and at your Happy Scrappy Improv class.
Bonnie sent me and I’m glad she did. I have tied a few quilts, and machine quilted two. The machine quilting was straight lined grid, had to remember to breathe. Ha ha. Looking forward to reading and praying from your book.
Bonnie Hunter sent me to your blog. I usually quilt by check, but i have done some small quilts using my domestic machine with walking foot & straight lines.
Bonnie sent me! I love ❤️ what I see on her blog. And need much help to improve my FM.
I use all the tools at my disposal….40 year old Kenmore, mid arm Voyager, and hand sew when the Red Sox are on. Always interested in learning new techniques for each!
I have finished some of my quilts on a rented long arm and some on my domestic sewing machine. Would love to be able to improve my FMQ skills. I think I could get some great ideas from your book. (Bonnie sent me here!)
I arrived here via Bonnie. Congratulations on your new book. It looks so inspirational. I machine quilt my own quilts on a domestic machine. I seem to stew over what to quilt every time and love to see new ideas in books and on the web. Thank you for what you share.
Bonnie sent me too. I need this book as the number of quilt tops is exploding and I need to finish into quilts. If the quilt is finished my kids will give it to someone after I die versus an unfinished quilt top would probably get tossed. I need to learn this skill. Thanks
Bonnie sent me here with a great review of your book! I like to machine quilt with my walking foot, but I sure do need to build my skills. I would also like to get more comfortable with free motion quilting. I have been know to quilt with cash on occasion too!
Wow, what a book. Can’t wait to get one, looks easy enough and well written for a somewhat beginner. So excited, love your stuff along with Bonnie Hunter. Yeah.
I’d love to learn to machine quilt! Sounds like you have a great way of teaching newby and scaredy cat quilters! LOL pick me, please!!!
Bonnie sent me. I love sewing charity quilts so I mostly quilt on my domestic machine. Your book looks amazing!
Here via Bonnie’s blog. I quilt my quilts on my domestic machine, I love being able to say I made it all myself.
I have only Free Motion quilted by machine myself…with the exception of my first quilt-I hand quilted it. After getting an estimate for custom quilting on mom and dad’s 50th anniversary 20 block hand appliqued baltimore style quilt – I pushed myself hard to learn. I still see that quilt on moms bed…see the booboo’s and NOW finally see them as my textile journey. Let me win…it would DEFINITELY not go unused!!!
I have tried machine quilting but was never happy with my results so for a while now I quilt by checkbook. When Bonnie featured your book, I got excited and thought maybe I could give it another try with your help. Thanks for the opportunity to win this book.
Hi, Bonnie Hunter sent me to your site. I FMQ on my domestic machine and am alway looking for new ideas. I look forward to checking out your blog! Happy Sewing!
Bonnie Hunter sent me. My sister quilts for me. 🙂 Maybe she can’t get some great ideas from your book. Thanxs!
Bonnie Hunter referred me here to learn much, much more about free motion quilting on my domestic machine. I recently finished hand quilting a queen+ sized quilt and i can honestly say that i won’t be doing that again!!! I’d love to finish up myself, some of the many quilt tops that I have stored.
I am a regular reader of both you and Bonnie. I quilt on my domestic machine. I have 2 of your DVDs and really enjoy them. I know that I will have to add your new book to my library.
Bonnie sent me over and I think I’ll stay a bit and have a look around, if you don’t mind. I might even sign up to follow since, honestly, I think this is the first time I’ve seen your blog. My favorite quilting method is to do it myself. I use my domestic machine for small projects and rent time on a longarm at a local quilt store for large projects. So it’s kind of the best of both worlds. This book would really come in handy since most of the times I’m guessing on how to quilt or what to do. I don’t want a computer program to do it for me either. Thanks for the chance to win a copy. Karen
Bonnie sent me. Modern machine quilting — I love it and am trying to master it!
I love quilting with my machine! Sometimes I use my checkbook, but I prefer quilting my quilts myself when I can. Can’t wait to see your book.
Checking out your blog via Bonnie Hunter’s and I’m excited to keep following! My favorite method of quilting is by longarm (I can get a lot done that way). Before owning the longarm, I bought a sewing machine with a very large throats space to learn FMQ, but only tried on 2 quilts….I would like to learn to do more!
Hello Catherine. I followed the link from Bonnie’s blog. I began quilting when I retired, and have quilted straight lines only. I am learning FMQ and your book would help me. Thanks for the opportunity on the giveaway.
Trying our Machine mostly with a little bit of hand quilting. Your book look wonderful!
Catherine, I was excited to read on Bonnie’s blog about your book and would love to win but if not winning, will definitely purchase! I have several quilts finished but not quilted as I am not happy with my first few attempts. Sooo…would love to learn from you. Thanks for the opportunity to enter.
I came via Bonnie’s thread. I love how your machine quilting looks like it was done on a long arm! Beautiful, intricate art you have done. Thank you for offering a free book and I’m sure whoever wins will be so delighted. ☺️
Catherine, Bonnie sent me over to your blog for entry into your drawing. I would LOVE to win a copy, as I have always had the desire to learn DSM quilting.
Bonnie sent me here but I follow your blog all the time. I can’t afford to quilt by check and have only done straight line quilting thus far. Would love to own your book to give me the courage to move into free motion. Thank you for making this offer.
I quilt by checkbook unless it’s a small quilt. Am determined to learn to do more than straight line quilting on my home machine. This book will really help!
Hi there, I am here because Bonnie Hunter sent me. Your book looks interesting. I have quilted by machine for 20 or so years, on a domestic and on a frame. I have never done hand quilting. Thank you for new input on quilting on a domestic machine! Mary F.
Your book looks so great! I love to quilt by check but also want to improve my machine quilting. Love the spiral! Bonnie sent me!
I am here because of Bonnie. I machine pieced and hand quilted until 10 years ago when I bought my longarm. Always trying to find new ways to quilt, new idea etc.
This sounds like a wonderful book, as I am just learning to quilt with rulers and learn a FMQ. Thanks for giveaway.
Hello Catherine, I found you thru Bonnie Hunter’s blog. I have never paid anyone to quilt my quilts. I have much more fun doing my own, but would like to get better with my walking foot. I FMQ on my Juki. Your book looks inspirational, so thanks for the opportunity
Bonnie sent me. I already have your DVDs but it is so nice to know that there is a book which complements the videos. I usually wind up stitching in the ditch when I quilt. I have done some free motion quilting but I haven’t been satisfied with the results.
I rent a longarm to finish my quilts. It can get rather expensive if I want to do anything more detailed.
I prefer hand quilting but have been teaching myself to machine quilt some with my domestic machine, would love the book — Bonnie sent me
I quilt all my quilts by machine. Mostly, on my home machine but larger ones by renting long arm machine and doing the quilting myself.
Bonnie sent me. My favorite quilting is free motion and hand piecing special quilts. I am a newbie at FAQ and certainly could use tips in your book. Thanks for being generous and sharing. Mary
Bonnie sent me to your blog. I’m new to quilting and my first (and only) finished quilt I had quilted for me. I would love to learn how to do the quilting myself so I can do the entire process. I love the designs I see and would like to learn how to do them. Thank you for the opportunity!
I am somewhere between quilting by check and doing it myself. I am making more smaller quilts lately so I can quilt them myself. This week I am taking a big stitch hand quilting class at Kansas City Regional Quilt Festival, so perhaps hand quilting will be added to my repretoire!
Hi Catherine, I have yet to quilt a “something,” but am most interested in machine quilting. I’d love to learn the long arm, but after machine quilting. Bonnie sings your praises!
I followed the link on Bonnie’s page to visit you. I have never finished my own quilts before, though I did try hand quilting when I took my first quilt class about 40 years ago. I don’t like the batting that is in my quilt and since I didn’t get very far, I am considering changing it. It is too puffy, but it was all we had then. Would love to get a copy of your book; perhaps I will be brave enough to try doing it myself by machine. Thanks for the chance.
Your book looks awesome. Saw it on Bonnie’s site. I usually do stitch in the ditch on smaller quilts but have expanded to stippling. Large quilts still go to LAQ.
Hi there! Bonnie sent me. I will be following you on FaceBook & thank you so much for the chance to win the book, it looks fabulous!
I’m here because I read Bonnie’s post first as I already am a follower of yours. My method of quilting is hand, check and beginning to learn machine. Can’t say I’m very good at machine quilting yet but practice makes better. Thanks for the chance on Bonnie’s site and on yours. Rina
Bonnie sent me too. I usually quilt straight lines using a walking foot on my Janome 6600. Would love to learn more.
Thanks for your generosity, hoping to be a lucky winner.
Margaret
Hi Catherine, I’m here because Bonnie sent me. I am trying to learn to FMQ and so far I am better at reading about how to FMQ than I am at achieving good results. I continue to strive to improve, however, and would love to have your book to help me on my FMQ journey. Thanks for the chance to win. Anne
I came here from Bonnie’s site. Your book looks fantastic! I do all my own quilting on a Pfaff Grand Quilter, stuffing the quilts through the machine. Thank you for this opportunity.
Followed Bonnie here. (Hope she never jumps off a cliff!) Machine quilt, mostly walking foot.
I read about your book on Bonnie’s blog.. My favorite way to machine quilt is by checkbook because my machine quilting leaves a lot to be desired. I hope I win your;s or Bonnie’s giveaway so that I can learn to improve my own machine quilting.
I ❤️ to FMQ and am always looking for new ideas and techniques. Thank you for being so generous!
Thank you for the giveaway!!! Bonnie Hunter sent me here. I have never tried machine quilting, I’ve been too intimidated to try, maybe your book is just what I need to succeed.
Mary
I do my smaller quilts on my sewing machine, straight lines or wavy lines usually. I could probably learn a lot from your book.
I love to hand quilt but I am sooooo far behind. I will need to live to 100+ to finish all of the tops that are hanging in the quilt closet, but that doesn’t seem to keep me from piecing new tops.
My favorite method of quilting is by machine. Your book looks awesome!
Hi, Bonnie sent me. I have a whole stack of tops that are not quilted because I need to learn how. Perfect timing.
I use to hand quilt everything. Now, arthritis has come into play and I’m not able to do everything anymore. So, I do what I can and fill in with my machine quilting. Not the best but it’s my work and I like that. Your book would help me a lot! Thanks.
My favorite method is by hand but I make too many quilts to do them all by hand. I machine quilt the small ones and send out the large ones.
Bonnie Hunter sent me. I usually make smaller wall quilts or table runners and I hand quilt them, using very simple quilting designs, mostly straight lines or echo quilting. But, it would be great to quilt on my sewing machine.
Bonnie sent me…but I love machine quilting especially on my long atm called E.V.
Bonnie sent me. I machine quilt my own smaller quilt – nothing fancy. Larger pieces and elaborate quilting goes to my longarmer friend. I’d love to be able to do more on my own.
Hello Catherine, I arrived at your website via Bonnie Hunter’s blog. I have quilted my last few quilts by check and have recently tried quilting on my domestic. I am interested in your book because of the mention of using the walking foot. This sounds like something I may be able to manage. Thank you for the opportunity to win this wonderful teaching tool.
Hi, I found your site through Bonnie Hunter. I machine quilt and would love to have your book to learn more of what I do. Thank you for this opportunity.
Catherine, I’m here because of Bonnie Hunter’s post regarding your new book! Thank you for an opportunity to win it. My favorite form of quilting will be by domestic machine, just as soon as I get up the courage to actually quilt on a “real” project. I practice, but I’m totally freaked out about going live on the real thing. I’d best get to it, however, as my absolute favorite part of quilting is the glorious, slow-down, hands-on act of sewing the binding by hand. LOVE IT! Thank you again for the chance and for furthering our knowledge of machine quilting on our sewing machines. Does it come with a vial of courage, perhaps?
Good afternoon, Catherine—I”m a “Bonnie-iac”, but I like your work, too. like DVDs, but I’m “old school” and I love/prefer books that I can hold in my hand. Thanks for providing a hard copy of your beautiful work.
Bonnie sent me to find out more about this wonderful book. I machine quilt my quilts, but using very basic straight lines. Hoping to find out some more tips from your blog.
Hi Bonnie sent me! I mostly machine quilt with a walking foot but I can’t seem to stay in the ditch so I usually use what I refer to as a wiggle stitch. Would like to learn to FMQ
Bonnie sent me! I machine quilt small items, but larger quilts will have to be checkbook quilting! Maybe if I get more confident I can try quilting larger items. Your book looks wonderful! Thanks for a great giveaway..
Bonnie sent me This is fabulous as I wanted to learn more techniques and ways to quilt with my sewing machine. Your new book looks amazing. Thanks!!!!
Hello Catherine: Bonnie sent me too! I have been trying to teach myself machine quilting for years. Dropping the feed dogs seams to be a problem. I have very vintage machines and thy are missing PARTS. So I keep my local vintage quilter busy via the check book but as time goes by this vintage “Piecer” still wants to try. Thank you for the chance. Robin in Leavenworth,WA
I also saw Bonnie’s post. I do my own quilting but sure wish I was better at it. I also wish I could do some by checkbook.
Hello! Bonnie sent me! I would love to win your book or one of your other goodies! I am a self taught home machine quilter and you book would be awesome! Thank-you for this chance to win!
Hi my favorite method of quilting is by hand which I find very relaxing. I also do machine quilting but mostly straight lines at this point. I saw your book on Bonnie’s blog and it looks amazing. Your work is beautiful.
I found out about your book from Bonnie Hunter. I quilt my own quilts on my domestic machine but I only do straight lines. I would love to learn more from your book!
I hopped over from Bonnie’s site. I fmq on my Juki. I have a 90 x 90 quilt waiting for me to get my nerve up to quilt it myself! I now follow you on Bloglovin’.
I found your blog through Bonnie Hunter. I quilt by machine (my own) – pretty basic stuff, since it’s an older machine. I think I need to experiment a bit for more variety, and, as always, practice would make it quicker and better looking.
Bonnie Hunter’s blog about your new book – I’m slowly learning how to FMQ on my domestic machine. I’d love to read your book.
I have been reading your blog off and on for a while, I did find out about the book from Quiltville. I have been quilting for a very long time and usually I use one of my vintage straight-stitchers to do the quilting.
Bonnie sent me. It looks great. Thanks for the giveaway.
DSM is my choice. Hand quilting takes too long, and checkbook quilting is above my pay grade. Like everyone else, I just need more instruction and practice.
I am a topper at heart but I have finished a few with straight line quilting. I want to finish my own but time to practice is short and you can’t straight line everything.
Bonnie sent me. I do all methods but mainly checkbook. I would love s copy of the book Aditya would motivate me to do more machine quilting!
Bonnie Hunter sent me! I experiment with very simple machine quilting and would love to learn your techniques.
Hand, machine or check book! Just can’t quilt them fast enough!
I am here from Bonnie’s blog and am excited to find yours. I enjoy quilting my own projects on my home machine up until a certain size (bed sized), then it’s easier to quilt by check!
Congratulations on your book. And thanks for the giveaway.
[email protected]
If Bonnie says it’s good, it must be good! Always willing to learn new techniques…
Hello, thank you for the opportunity to win your book that Bonnie sent me to see. I machine quilt my quilts. I struggle with free motion quilting and my walking foot quilting. I think your book offers a wonderful learning opportunity to get better at both.
Although I have come from Bonnie’s blog, I follow you as well. I would love to win a copy of your book as I have been following you for a long time and trying to do quilting on my home machine, I am certain you book would help very much.
Hi Catherine! Bonnie Hunter sent me. I have long admired your work and would love to expand my machine quilting techniques. I love hand quilting, but I am always tight on time. Thanks for the opportunity! ♡
Bonnie sent me and I know your book would be a wonderful help with my machine quilting. Still learning!!
I am a follower of your blog and also Bonnie’s blog too. thank you for the giveaway. [email protected]
I love to finish my quilts on my George sit down longarm. It is just like quilting on my Bernina, I just have tons more room. I have come a long way in my free motion quilting over the past 10 years. I am presently in love with the modern techniques, so your book would be awesome!!!! Bonnie Hunter sent me to your site today. Thanks for the wonderful give-away opportunity.
Bonnie sent me, thank you and Bonnie for this opportunity. I have been quilting by checkbook, but must,and want to, learn to finish tops on my own machine.
Machine quilting puts fear in my heart. But I like to do anything that is a straight line or follows a shape. Free motion quilting is not my strong suit. I keep trying. The book sounds interesting and useful. And, I struggle with perfection. It has to be perfect or it comes out. Not always a good thing.
Thank you for this great giveaway. Have a super great day!
I read about your book from Bonnie. I have a longarm machine but use pattern boards for most of my quilting. I would love to be able to be more comfortable in doing free motion quilting
Relatively new piecerer here. Have only stitched in the ditch or used simple photograph on rented long-term. Really would be happy to learn quilting techniques from you. Am learning lots of helpful piecing techniques from Bonnie Hunter, who sent me here.
Saw your book at Bonnie’s . I do machine quilting. It looks like a great book!
Bonnie sent me! I machine quilt my small quilts and quilt by check the twin size and larger.
Bonnie sent me also. I’m so interested in your book! I machine quilt using mostly Free motion. It’s so fun, but I want to expand my horizons.
I would like to learn to quilt my own quilts as I currently quilt by check. Bonnie introduced me and I’ll now be reading you regularly.
Bonnie sent me! I hand quilt and am learning to machine quilt on my domestic. Aways interested to lear something new!
I love to quilt all three ways. Hand quilting is for the special ones, the not too big ones I do on my Bernina and the big ones I do by check. Your books looks like it is full of great info.
Bonnie sent me. I quilt my quilts on my domestic machine. My comfort zone is using stencils to mark my designs before free motion quilting. Need to become more comfortable quilting modern designs.
Hi Catherine,
Would love to have a signed copy to go with my DVDs and to supplement our class time together. Love following you in your travels,
As always, Susan
I follow you so I guess you sent me! I love vicariously through you! Love your blog. Maybe Sarah and James and Kaitlin actually sent me!
Hi, Bonnie sent me and I am so glad to be able to quilt on my domestic machine and learn all the ins and outs from you. I currently have a mid arm machine with frame .There are many times I just want to do something on my domestic machine and am excited about your book.
Bonnie sent me. I’m crazy for your book and would love to win one. Diane. [email protected]
Hi Catherine, I am here from Bonnie’s site
I am a new quilter and have only done a couple of machine quilting. Mine are pretty simple and I would love to learn more.
Bonnie sent me. I would love to do more than stitch in the ditch on my domestic. If I don’t win I will buy your book.
Bonnie sent me too! My favorite way is to hand quilt. Would love to win this book!
Yes, Bonnie sent me. I love that you artists all support one another. I would love to win a copy of your book.
I read about your book on Bonnie Hunter’s blog. I have used my checkbook to quilt a few quilts, but I’m “running out of checks”, if you know what I mean. I’m getting better at machine quilting and am getting more comfortable & confident with doing it myself as I practice.
Fo No my way to you through Bonnie Hunter. The book looks lovely. I have sent my quilts out, but I’d like to quilt my own modern art quilts myself but don’t have the skills.
My favorite quilting if learning all different types of feathers
Bonnie sent me! I like to hand quilt but would certainly like to know how to quilt on my Janome. Would really enjoy winning your book. Thanks for including me in your giveaway.
Hi. Bonnie sent me! Lol
I do hand quilting, I love it but I truly want to learn to do it on machine but I don’t know where to start. Whether I win a copy or not I’m getting the book and I am going to learn. Wish me luck
Wow I enjoyed reading about your book. I am quilting with my longarm but have been trying domestic machine quilting for smaller items and in case I need to downsize. Thanks
I am pretty good at hand quilting but it takes forever. If I machine quilt it is usually just a stitch in the ditch. Someone once told me you should quilt your quilts when you first start piecing them. By the time you are good at piecing you will also have quilting down. Well, I didn’t do that but I still keep trying to impove my quilting. I would love to win your book. Please enter me in your drawing
Bonnie sent me. I use my walking foot to do simple quilting on small projects. I would love to win and learn other ways to use my walking foot. Thank you !
Bonnie Hunter referred me to your blog. My favorite way of quilting projects is checkbook — (dropping them off at my local long arm quilter). I usually don’t quilt anything larger than a table runner. Your book looks like a great tool to encourage me to try more quilting on my home machine. Thank you for an opportunity to win a copy.
I saw your book on Bonnie’s Blog and would love to win a copy. I have been trying to machine quilt my own quilts as I can’t afford to send them out to be quilted. I’ve been trying off and on for several years and not very good yet. Thanks for a chance to win a copy.
I love to quilt by hand, but I also do simple machine quilting. Your book sounds very interesting.
Hi, Catherine, Bonnie Hunter shared your book this morning on her blog…and sent me to your blog…
Hello. Bonnie sent me too. I’ve tried q quilting on my domestic, there’s a definite need for improvement! Would love your book to help me out. 🙂 Thanks for the chance to win it… now, back to your blog.
Yes, Bonnie sent me. Your book looks good — congratulations. I use the walking foot, but I would really like to learn free motion quilting.
I send mine out to be quilted unless it is a mini or a table runner.
Hi, Bonnie sent me! I quilt on a regular sewing machine, at home, and have only done baby quilts so far, nothing too big. Congratulations on the book-looks great
Saw your book on Bonnie’s blog. Looks full of amazing ideas. I started quilting on my domestic machine and sent my big quilts out to be quilted but was frustrated because I lost “ownership” of my quilts because people notice the quilting first. So 1.5 years ago I bought a sit down longarm and do all my quilting myself and I love it! Having a big throat on the machine makes a world of difference. Looking for any tricks to move beyond meandering and swirls.
Bonnie sent me!
I machine quilt! I love hand quilting but my stitches are not beautiful!
Thank you!
Bonnie sent me. I do all of my own quilting on my regular machine and would love a copy of your book.
Bonnie sent me – love the overview of your book – I machine quilt, also by credit card
I’m a machine quilter. I found my way from Quiltville.
I am here because of Bonnie’s post and Giveaway. Your book looks great – ideal for me as a terrified machine quilter! I struggle with In the Ditch and cope to a degree with quilting a machine foot’s width either side of a column or row in the quilt so your book would be superb!
I saw your give away at Bonnie Hunter’s post. Yes she likes the book. I know i could use your suggestions since my husband doesn’t like the paycheck cost of sending the quilts out. I do like freemotion quilting once i have an idea & plan. Thanks for the chance, cindy
I’m a regular subscriber and love your work. I am trying to bravely try machine quilting at home…budget doesn’t allow me to send out my quilts regularly, only when a special quilt or gift. Your book looks wonderful and could get me into machine quilting on a regular basis.
I found your blog through Bonnie Hunter, and LOVE what I am seeing here. Plan to be a regular viewer going forward. I definitely do machine quilting, and all of it is with a walking foot! Thanks for the chance to enter the giveaway. I look forward to learning a lot following your blog.
Hello! Bonnie sent me to your site. I tie a lot of my quilts, and use a walking foot for straight lines. I use my domestic machine, so can only do simple stitching. Would love to learn how to do more complex designs at home.
Bonnie sent me, too. Using my I have machine quilted – very basically – a few table runners and wall hangings, Definitely nothing major. For the large quilts I send them to a long-arm quilter and use my checkbook. I’d love to be able to add some free-motion pizzazz to my quilts on my own machine. Your book just might be my ticket to do that. Thanks for the offer.
Sent by Bonnie. Currently leaning toward quilting by check for larger quilts, domestic machine for smaller ones.
Hi there Catherine!
I am new to your blog …Bonnie Hunter sent me! Yay!
I quilt all of my projects on my home machine(it’s a 2000-era Pfaff named Pfrancine!), but I am really bored with doing stippling and other simple patterns…looks like your book would help me make it to the next level!
Thanks & Quilty Huggs!
Hi again Catherine…I accidentally hit send before adding my name to the form…I am: Jacqueline VH
Love to keep up with Bonnis”s blog now I have your to read. I know how to hand quilt but do more machine quilting and would love to see what neat things I could learn from your book..Bonnie sent me over from her blog..Thanks for doing the five away…v
I have long wanted to learn to machine quilt using my home machine. I don’t have enough room for a long arm. I would love to have you teach me through your book. Bonnie speaks so highly about you and your skill. Please let me win! Thank you.
Dianne Gillin from Wenatchee, WA
I machine quilt all the quilts I make, but I could really use your book to help me improve my skill. Thanks for the opportunity to win a copy!
Hi Bonnie sent me! Nice to meet you. I have a nine inch short arm machine on a frame. I love your ideas because they are very doable for me. I especially love feathers! Thank you Wendy
Hi! I was intrigued by your book mentioned in Bonnie Hunter’s blog. I prefer piecing, so when it comes time to do the quilting, I send them out to my favorite longarm service. But I have played with FMQ in smaller crib/throw quilts, freehand sewing leaves, boat anchors, dog bones and words in a few of them. Your books appears like it would help me ‘step up my game’. I really hope I win a copy!
Hi, yes, Bonnie “sent me”!! 🙂 I love to send my quilts to my friend who has a long arm business, but I would LOVE to share this book with my friend who some how manages to quilt all of her quilts on her own domestic machine. She is amazing and would love your book!
Bonnie Hunter sent me here and so glad she did! I have many tops and wallhangings but have only tried machine quilting one and it did not turn out well.
Bonnie sent me too!!! Would love to step out of my box of straight line quilting and in the ditch quilting!! My last 2 quilts were check book quilted – were beautifully done but I have to tell the recipients of the quilts that “No, it’s not my quilting on it!” 🙁
Hope to change that in the future 🙂
Bonnie sent me to your site. I machine quilt and looking for ways to improve my skills and be more comfortable with the process.
I read about your book on Bonnie’s blog and came over to check out your blog. I’m fortunate to have a longarm and use it to do my quilts. Your book looks like a wonderful resource. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Catherine, I read Bonnie’s blog and there was the book I have been looking for. I retired last year, bought a sewing machine and have started patchwork. I want to do my own quilting so I can truly say ‘I made it’. As I am new I have been looking for direction in how to quilt my growing pile of patchwork. I would love your book and have now added you to my Bloglovin site. Thank you so much for having a chance to win your book. Cheers Lenore (Australia)
Catherine, Bonnie sent me! I’m a hand quilter but find that sometimes hand quilting is not getting the job done in time. Because of this and the beautiful quilting in the pages Bonnie showed in your book, I’m deciding to learn how to machine quilt on my Pfaff (hopefully) . I’d love to receive a signed copy from you to encourage me as I learn.
Bonnie sent me, too! I love to quilt on my machine and would like to learn more ways to quilt. Thank you for taking the time to put together a book that can teach me more quilting techniques 🙂
Hi! Bonnie sent me, and I’m so glad she did. I always am thrilled to find another wonderful teacher and quilter. I am a novice to machine quilting and want to expand my techniques from stippling to a variety of patterns. Thank you for your generous offer of the chance to win a copy of your book.
I like quilting by hand, my domestic and I did quite a few–even king size–but now I have a longarm–because I couldn’t face bending over the dining room table to baste those large quilts. I do some hand embroidery still and always finish the binding on all my quilts by hand.
Catherine
Thanks for the offer. Bonnie sent me over. In the hopes of doing more than quilt in the ditch, I am hoping to learn new techniques.
Beverley H.
I’m also coming from Bonnie’s site. Your book sounds wonderful! I really need to get better at finishing my quilts. Once I get them pieced, I tend to just pile them up. I could really use some inspiration!
Bonnie Hunter sent me this way and I would love to have your book. I’m getting tired always giving out my hard $$ to others when I know that I can learn to do my own quilting on my own little machine. Thank You!!
I have looked around your blog and am wondering why in the world I haven’t ever encountered you before. I love your stuff and have sent a friend request on Facebook to your page. Bonnie Hunter sent me to this page. I have just this last week quilted my first quilt on my domestic machine. It was a crib quilt and I just did straight line quilting but I would love to be able to do more. And to get those lines to actually BE straight! Please enter me in your drawing for I feel I need your book.
Of course Bonnie loves your book, and I’d love to win it! I quilt all my own quilts on my Brother 1500, but I’d love to become more confident and proficient. Thanks for the chance to win! I’ll be looking for your book if I don’t win. Candy
Bonnie sent me! So far I’ve quilted by check, but am working up the courage to try machine quilting. I need to – too many tops to pay for them to be quilted!
Read about your book on Bonnie’s blog. I do machine quilting and am always interested in tips and techniques.
Bonnie Hunter sent me your way as I am trying to learn how to quilt on my home machine. Thank you
I quilt my own but only with stitch in the ditch or meandering, would love to learn other ways. I was sent by Bonnie Hunter.
My stitch in the ditch is called by me stitch on the shoulder because it doesn’t always get in the ditch. Would love to get a
copy of your book. I need any help I can get. Thanks.
Hi Catherine, I am a faithful follower of your blog, have your DVD’s and would love to have your book to compliment them. I have entered the giveaway on Bonnie’s blog as I also follow her every day. Love going on your and Bonnie’s trips via the virtual world.
I was sent by Bonnie Hunter. I have been paying to have my quilts done by a local long arm person. Planning on retiring soon and at the top of my bucket list is to lean how to do my own quilting on my home machine. Your book sounds like just the thing I’ll need to accomplish that! Thanks for giving me a chance to win a copy.
Oh, all my quilting is by machine, by me.
Bonnie sent me. I love the look of hand quilting, but my list of things to make is way too long to spend all that time.
I clicked here from Bonnie’s blog – but I follow you on Facebook too! Would love a copy of your book!
Learned about you from BH’s blog. My daughter and I have hand quilted our projects mainly because we haven’t had knowledge on machine quilting techniques. We’d love to learn and get a boost of confidence from your book. Would love to win any goodies !!!
Bonnie sent me, however, I’m excited to have found your page and look forward to following you on Facebook. I quilt small projects on my domestic but send large projects out for longarm quilting. I’d really like to learn more about quilting large projects myself.
Hi! This book looks awesome! Thanks Bonnie Hunter for sending me. I am a fairly new quilter. I have not made a bed quilt yet but this would be a fabulous tool! Thanks Catherine!
I quilt on stretched Juki on a John Watts frame. Not sure if they even make these any more. I have some problems machine quilting. I would love your book.
Bonnie sent me too. I started quilting 18 months ago using my great grandmother’s quilting frame. About halfway through I started having trouble with my thumb and had to stop.at that time I bought a new long arm machine. The selection is nice but I need more variety or the ability to create my own designs. I would love a copy of your book. It looks like it could teach me lots.
I am an avid quilter and would love to quilt some of my quilts. I am just getting into modern quilts and this book would be an asset.
Bonnie sent me too! I’m trying to master my machine quilting demons and would love to win a copy of your book. Annie
Love reading your posts. I hand quilted for years until my hand strength diminished, now I machine quilt everything.
I’ve been developing my quilting skills for about 5 years now. Hand quilting is fun, and I have been toying at machine quilting. I read every source that I can find about machine quilting as I don’t feel comfortable with what I have been able to do so far. Bonnie Hunter spoke very highly about your book. I am thinking that it might be a lifesaver for me. I’ll cross my fingers and hope that I win!
Hi, I click d here from Bonnie Hunters posts and would love to win a copy of your book! It looks awesome… I have quilted small quilts on my machine, but would love to learn techniques that would let me quilt larger quilts on my domestic machine
Hi Bonnie sent me over too! Your book looks wonderful. I do have a longarm for my larger quilts but I’m always looking for ideas when I quilt on my Bernina too. im off to peek at your Facebook page now….
Well, I also was sent by Bonnie Hunter! I hand quilt mostly. I also send quilts to a long armer. I want to learn how to machine quilt my own quilts, but have never found any books etc.. That I really understand on the subject. I think I would really like to try your book.
Bonnie sent me, too! I’ve never quilted by checkbook, have done mostly hand quilting, and a little bit of machine quilting. I am suffering from a surfeit of quilt tops. I need to learn more about machine quilting. Thanks for the chance to win!
Hi! I arrived here via Bonnie’s blog. I machine quilt very simply. I have been wanting to increase my quilting skills and your book looks like a wonder tool to do just that!
Bonnie sent me to your blog. Congratulations on your new book. I have done some straight line quilting on small items on my machine but haven’t gotten the courage to tackle a larger quilt. Most of my quilting is done with the check book. Maybe I could learn some good pointers from your book that would give me the confidence to give a larger quilt a try.
Thank you for the opportunity!
It is so nice of you to give a book away on your site as wll as Bonnie’s. I plan to make this a gift t my MIL who is more of a modern quilter. I think she will love it! Fingers crossed.
Bonnie Hunter sent me to check out your giveaway but now of course I want to look through your blog to see your beautiful work……I want to be good at machine quilting on my home machine and I do practice from time to time but I am just not getting the hang of making everything work at once……smooth stitches and flat quilts are my goal :0) thanks so much for the chance to win and congratulations on your new book. Happy Sewing :0)
The good thing about Bonnie is that she shares all the great things she knows/finds about quilting. Today she sent me here. I have been quilting with my checkbook for 17 years, but this year I am taking baby steps into quilting on my domestic machine. I would love to win your book and through it, have your guidance and inspiration!
Saw your book on Bonnie Hunter Quiltville. Your book looks gorgeous! I am trying to machine quilt on my home machine, looks like a perfect book to help me out. Hope I can win.
I am here because I follow your blog… Bonnie’s too, but haven’t read her message yet today.anyway, would love to be able to finish/quilt own tops myself as the expense of having a long-armer finish quilts for me. I have 4 tops just waiting/crying to be finished.
I
I found you through Bonnie Hunter!! And to answer your question, Large quilts are sadly quilted by my checkbook.But I would love to learn how. Thank you for the chance to win a copy of your book.
Bonnie sent me. Lately I have been quilting by checkbook because I am so slow at machine quilting. I have made a goal to quilt something small every week and I think your book will be just the ticket to help me meet my goal.
If it is a really big quilt, it goes out for quilting. I do love to do most on my home sewing machine but really need to develop my free motion skills.
I follow you and Bonnie!
Hello! I am here because Bonnie sent me! I usually quilt my smqll quilts myself but quilt anything larger than a baby quilt with my chexk book! I can machine quikt pretty well but am not com8ng up with many new ideas. Your book seems to hilight designs in ways I haven’t seen yet. Woukd love to have one!
Hello! I’ve come by way of Bonnie’s blog and want to thank you for the book that I hope will come my way 🙂 I had to switch from hand quilting to machine quilting several years to ago and i don’t regret it. I have a lot to learn but most of all need to get more confident with the machine!!
Hello and big “thank you” for the great tips on your blog. I enjoy seeing all the guild pics from around the country. I am a free motion quilter on my home sewing machine and I enjoy working on the king size quilts. A modern quilt is on my bucket list to make and I’m sure your book is packed full of great ideas.
Bonnie sent me. I love her blog and am happy to see yours too. I like machine quilting and hand quilting. I do both depending on timelines.
I am interested in your offer for winning your new book. I have sent my quilts out quilted on my home machine and by hand. Recently I have purchased a long arm machine and like to quilt freehand. I believe your book can help any kin of quilter because I need help with design ideas. I came by way of Bonnie Hunters blog. Thanks
Bonnie sent me. I mostly hand quilt .
Bonnie said to check out your blog and I tend to listen to her because she is a very wise and happy lady!! I generally use my domestic sewing machine to quilt my quilts but I am hoping to start long arm quilting. Either that or I will have to rob a bank to pay someone to quilt all my finished tops!! Your book looks awesome.
Bonnie sent me and I enjoy your blog. I am a machine quilter and loving every minute of it!
I read about your book on Bonnie Hunter’s blog. I machine quilt on my Janome DC5100. I mostly quilt simple designs with my walking foot and only rarely venture into free motion quilting.
I popped in from Bonnie’s blog. I currently quilt with a mid arm. I was never able to get the back of quilting on a domestic machine. I love your quilt patterns! Congratulations on the book release!!
I too headed over to your blog after reading Bonnie’s today. It looks like a great book, I am still learning to quilt by machine. I have hand quilted for 40 years, but decided I wanted to move a little faster at the fun I have quilting. So I am looking to improve and inspire me to new horizons in quilting. I hope I can win your book, but if not it will be on my list for future purchase. Thanks!
I am here because of Bonnie Hunter’s blog – I usually use my checkbook to get my quilts quilted but would like to learn how to do it myself – thanks for the opportunity
I definitely quilt by domestic machine and more so by walking foot since your class given in Birmingham, AL. I’m so thankful that you and Bonnie have both shared your talents and knowledge with our guild. I would love to have your book!
Thank you, Jan
Bonnie sent me your way. I began quilting about 5 years ago after I retired. I love the whole process of making quilts from start to finish. I quilt on a long arm with computer but I would love to try to learn to do free motion also.
Bonnie sent me!! And I am so glad she did because I love what I have seen of this book so far and having on in my own library would be FANTASTIC!!!! And i know I will make that happen because quilting my own projects is something I keep saying I want to do, but don’t. So, saying that, my quilting is done by cheque and she even has a bolt of batting of mine at her house because that just makes it easier…….
I am not comfortable with my sewing machine so I find that I keep reading the how-to’s but don’t try what I am reading/learning. My quilter has told me she will teach me – so I really do need to leap and know i won’t fall. I am landing on quilt after all and it won’t hurt so why the hesitation??? Your book looks beautiful. And so well worth the cost and the time to read and learn – AND DO THE LESSON’S!!!! Thank you so much for the opportunity to win my own copy and I will be becoming a regular visitor. Now that I have found you, I don’t want to loose you! Have a great summer and enjoy the new title of ‘author’!!!
Bonnie Hunter sent me. I finish my quilts with my Husqvarna 830 Sapphire home machine.
Came over from Bonnie’s page…I am always looking for more quilting ideas. Would love to win your book.
I tie them and I stitch in ditch with my home machine, …But my mom still hand quilts hers… [email protected]
I am trying to learn to quilt on my own machine. I love my machine, but usually either rent time on a friend’s long arm or quilt via checkbook. This summer, with 4 weddings, the checkbook option holds reign. I will never buy a long arm, but I do want to become better at quilting my own.
Your book looks wonderful. I long arm, and never know what too quilt. It looks like this book is for me.
Hi! Bonnie Hunter sent me. I quilt on my Pfaff 4.2 and would love to have more idead and tips for quilting designs and techniques. Thank you.
Aother Bonnie follower. Your book seems to be just what I have been looking for. I have so many tops to quilt, but need help – which your book promises.
I’m here because of Bonnie and glad I visited! I quilt by hand, with domestic and long arm machines. Always looking for inspiration and the preview of your book is very interesting. I would be appreciative of the chance to have one. I’ll. Be back to “see” you. I’m glad I took Bonnie’s advice. Thanks
I quilt on my sweet 16 HandiQuilter. I’ve been following your after being introduced to it by Bonnie months ago.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge in your book. As I only do my largest quilts by “checkbook”, I need to get my smaller ones finished Your ideas sounds great and glad you asked Bonnie to share your inspiration. Kathy in colo
Bonnie sent me!!!! Looks like a great book. I’m sure I could learn a lot from it. Thanks so much for a chance to win it!!
Jamie
Hi Catherine. I enjoy reading your Blog with all of your “adventures” and would love to win your book Modern machine Quilting and other goodies. I have also entered Bonnie Hunter’s Give-a-Way of your book as I am also an avid reader of her Blog as well. Thank you for the opportunity. I am a domestic machine quilter, but do use my checkbook for larger quilts. Betsy
I had been quilting by checkbook but have recently been learning to machine quilt on smaller quilts.
Bonnie sent me,too! I do my own quilting, usually stitch in the ditch. I would love to have more variety of quilting to learn.
Thanks for the chance!
Faith
I love to read and experience quilting. I am a free motion… walking foot quilter. Bonnie Hunter sent me. Glad I found you.
Hi there Bonnie sent me. Most of my quilts are check book quilted. Baby quilts are hand quilted. I would like to be able to save the check boo a bit and do some myself. Your book sounds great!
Bonnie Hunter sent me over for a chance to win a copy of your book “Modern Machine Quilting” I would love some inspiration for a couple quilts I have waiting. Thank you for the chance to win your book.
Hi Catherine:
What a generous soul you are! Bonnie said to tell you she sent me here. I mostly quilt by check, but I have done both machine quilt in a ditch & hand quilting.
hi there! Bonnie sent me! i would love to win a copy of your book, it looks great especially for someone like me who is trying to teach myself to quilt, books seem to be the most help of anything else. thanks for the giveaway.
Hi, I read about your book on Bonnie’s blog. I have done a few quilts by machine, but I also quilt by check book. 🙂 Your book looks really interesting. Thank you for the opportunity.
Bonnie said to let you know that she sent us. I usually send my quilts to a LAQ but have done a few baby quilts with simple machine stitching “in the ditch”. I am anxious to see your book. Thanks for entering us in a drawing for it.
Bonnie sent me! I am somewhat of a beginner/intermediate and need to learn more about doing the quilting myself!!!!!
Hi first time on your blog. Bonnie Hunter sent me. I am trying to learn FMQ and am not doing that great but will keep trying. Your book would be a great help. I will follow along on your blog. My email is [email protected]
Anna
Bonnie sent me, and when I saw your examples, I want your book. I am a hand quilter, but I would like to learn to machine quilt. I have too many UFO tops!
I found out about your book on Bonnie’s blog. I use my domestic machine to machine quilt. And I’m always looking for tips and techniques to improve. So helpful! Thanks for your generosity!
Glad to meet you, Bonnie sent me, your quilts are inspiring. I have machine quilted two full-sized quilts so far, and need to learn more, broke thread and needles in the process!
maybe at last I have found a book that will make me a machine quilter at the moment I am hand quilting as I struggle so much on the machine though now able to use the walking foot a bit but FMQ is way beyond me. I am going to thr FOQ in Birmingham UK in august hope your book will be available there
I chanced upon Bonnie Hunters website about a year ago just after I started quilting. So far I have pieced a lap rug and a throw and have finished one and a half pillows. I am doing stitch in the ditch (by machine). The day when I would have quilted by hand are past. Just this evening I have pulled out the batting for the other half of the pillow and the lap rug and throw. I would love to have a copy of your book because I would like to do them all myself and we now live in a tiny house (300 sq.ft.) so a long arm is out of the question. Thanks for the chance to win.
Bonnie sent me. I have quilted some each way. My last quilt was quilted by checkbook since it was kind sized.
Hi there! Bonnie sent me over. I usually send my quilts out OR leave the unfinished tops stacked on the shelf to be quilted “later.” I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to win your book! It’s not in my budget to purchase right now and I can’t find it at my library. I heard about it somewhere in the blogosphere a few weeks ago and have been looking for it. I’m ready to start trying to quilt on my home machine, maybe finally finish up some of those “later” quilts!
Hi Catherine,
Bonnie sent me. I prefer to machine quilt, but I also do a little hand quilting.
Bonnie sent me. I am a beginner at machine quilting but I want to learn as much as I can and do it myself.
Bonnie sent me. I mostly quilt by machine myself – lots of organic lines! I have to admit I’d rather just do the piecing so I do have a lot of UFOs that are waiting to be quilted. ☺️
Popping over from Bonnie’s blog – congratulations on the new book!! I quilt by machine all the time. Thank you for the great giveaway!
Bonnie sent me, alrho just read about you in a quilting magazine. Would love to learn from your expertise. Thank You!
Dear Catherine,
thank you for the opportunity to win your wonderful looking book. I so very much need the help the book promises to complete the ‘tops’ I make!
I mostly handquilt but microsurgery on my pointer (1st) finger makes it so difficult now, that I have a go at machine quilting but am not very confident & find it hard to finish.
I do very simple machine quilting on baby quilts – ditch, outline etc to enable the baby to have a quilt before it gets to school age
.
Bonnie sent me here from her blog as she had great things to say about your book – if Bonnie says it – it must be true …… thanks,
Jessica from Downunder (Australia)
I was entering on Bonnie Hunter’s post and she sent me this way …. I am a machine quilter and rather new to quilting. Thank you for this opportunity.
Anything bigger than a wall-hanging, I quilt by checkbook…. I do wall-hangings, placemats, mugrugs, totes and bags, and other small projects on my dsm… I am hoping to expand my self-quilted projects when my new machine (with a wider throat) arrives… It’s on backorder, so no telling when that will happen. I do so like quilting by check, but it’s getting harder and harder to find custom quilters… most in my area just want to do edge to edge designs, which are not my favorite.
I am also here because Bonnie referred us to you. However after perusing your site, I would like to be a regular visitor. My favorite method had been hand quilting, but arthritis has made that method very difficult, if not impossible for me, so I have been developing free motion quilting using my domestic machine.
Bonnie sent me over from her blog. I usually stitch in the ditch on my home machine but would like to learn to do more. Hope your new book is a great success!
Me too about Bonnie! Delighted to hear about your book. I’ve already sketched out one of your designs for my next quilting session. A fresh idea and I love what I see. I’m a self taught quilter and self taught using my machine for free motion quilting. I believe your book will cover much of what is not covered in other FMQ publications. Congratulations and I’d love to win!
I do most of my quilting by machine. Although I am hand quilting my Baltimore Album quilt.
Hi Catherine,
I was also sent by Bonnie! I haven’t quilted much, just straight lines, but I would love to learn something more fancy. Thank you for the chance to win a copy of your book. I’m keeping my fingers crossed!
I was sent by Bonnie!. Congratulations on your book. I usually quilt by hand, but would love to learn how to on my Bernina. I have a Bernette (the simplest one) and I have no idea how to start using it for quilting. Straight lines are basically the only thing (stitch in the ditch), but that is the same method as making curtains! Love to win a copy!
Bonnie sent me also. I do hand quilting but large projects get sent out to the long arm quilter. I would love to learn how to machine quilt on my domestic machine.
Hi, there!
Bonnie sent me to comment on your blog. Your book looks like the perfect companion to quilt alongside making notes as you go. I’m a more traditional quilter but enjoy playing with new techniques. I’d love to try your methods of quilting.
I also come from Bonnie’s blog. I machine quilt all my projects, with simple edge-to-edge designs (mainly meandering). I’d love to learn new skills for modern quilts and I am starting by surfing your blog that I didn’t know before. Thanks for the give up.
Hello! Bonnie is singing your praises over at hers, so here I am! I exclusively machine quilt and have just started quilting for a charity group that gives quilts to patients in hospice care. It a cause that is a bit too close to home, but I am also hoping it will be a positive opportunity to expand my quilting experience and repertoire without spending lots of cash on making quilts. What I’ve seen of your new book looks fabulous, well done! And I love your little celebration anecdote too. Many thanks for sharing that!
Bonnie sent me, but I’m interested in modern quilting and would love to win your book. Thanks for the giveaway!
Bonnie sent me here. She really has a following of scrappers with a stash. I almost have En Provence done. I’d love to win a copy as I am ready to start this retirement of doing what I’ve always wanted.
Hi! I too learned off you thru Bonnie Hunter! Mostly I quilt with plastic, but I have managed a few table runners and wallhangings in my domestic machine. Would love to learn how to do more. Thank you!
Helloooooo! I was excited to find your blog and info regarding your book through Bonnie. After 30+ years of quilting I finally began machine quilting some of my quilts a year ago . I look for all the help I can get as I take on this exciting path in my love for quilting!
Good morning, jusy hopped over from Bonnies post and have to tell you that the book and the video would be excellent tools for me to accomplish my goal for this year. Which is to become a more than adequate freemotion quilter. I am making head way,but could/would use all the help I can get. Blessings, mo
I learned of you & your book on Bonnie Hunter’s blog. What fun. I love free motion quilting on my Janome 6600 but always have trouble deciding on a pattern so do a lot of random quilting instead of anything structured.
Bonnie Hunter sent me. I’m just learning to quilt on my sewing machine and would love to have your book to help me learn new techniques .
I use all forms of quilting, but mostly machine for community quilts and check book quilts for me. Thanks.
Good Morning, I read about your book on Bonnie Hunter’s blog. I would love to learn how to free motion some of my quilts on my regular sewing machine. Your book looks wonderful!
Thank you so much for the opportunity to win one!
Hi, another migrant from Bonnie’s blog impressed with what was shown from the book! I primarily quilt my quilts on my DSM although there are some projects that call out for a go at hand quilting. I’m looking to try some “modern” motifs and saw some inspirations here. Win a copy or buy a copy, this is now on my wish list!
Wow, so many entries. Yes, Bonnie sent me. I love to hand quilt but fell so far behind had to resort to my checkbook. I also have done a few on my machine, using Harriet Hargrove great advice. Hoping your book will help me make my quilting more interesting!
Bonnie Hunter sent me here. I quilt with my domestic sewing machine. Your book looks like a book I would like to add to my collection. A person can never have too many books!!!
Bonnie sent me. I like machine quilting. Domestic . I often run short on quilting ideas. It sounds like your book will be a great tool! Thanks for the chance to win!
I quilt on my beautiful Singer 66 Red Eye treadle and would love to learn to do your designs on it. Bonnie Hunter told me about your blog. I’m signing up!
I just read Bonnie Hunter’s blog post on your book and it sounds incredible! I’ve also enjoyed reading your blog just now. Thanks for offering your book. Would love to win!!!
Bonnie made glowing remarks about your book…so I’m here.
I have followed you on your DVD and am ✊ about your book. I hand quilt little items when I travel and use both a domestic sewing machine: Janie Ome, and my mid arm: Pippi Longstitching when I get around to quilting… your book will encourage me to keep at it!
Welcome to the power of Bonnie! As your comments show, she has many great followers who listen to hr recommendations. Your book sounds and looks very interesting and very on point as many of us are broadening our quilting styles and skills. I quilt by hand, domestic machine, Sweet Sixteen and check. Whatever is best for the particular project. Thanks for the drawing opportunity and good luck with your book!
Bonnie sent me too! Been quilting for 7 years now but just starting to quilt on my home machine. Any help, and I need lots, would be appreciated. Always looking for “a better way” and new techniques. Love to win a copy.
Hi….Bonnie sent me…but I’m sure I’ll be a regular reader now….thanks for a chance to win. Congratulations on the book….I’m a relatively new machine quilter….and am so addicted it isn’t funny! Just ask my husband!
Would love to get the book Bonnie spoke so highly of!
Hi, i’m from Bonnie’s site. I have always wanted to try machine quilting but i am hesitate, okay afraid to try. I have many tops waiting to be finished and lack the confidence to even get started?? She spoke so highly about your book, i feel this book might just be the boost that i need!!! Thanks for a chance to win.
Carmen
I’m here from Bonny’s site, but have visited you before. I would love to win your book. I do my own quilting usually and often have trouble deciding how to quilt so this is a great resource.
My current method is by check, but I really want to learn to do it myself! This book would be a great kick starter for me. Thanks for your generosity.
Discovered your book thru Quiltville! I use my Janome to quilt my tops. Your book would be a welcome source of ideas. I need all the help I can get!!! Have many quilt tops waiting to be finished!
Really nice book. I use my sewing machine. Have a great day! angielovesgary2 atgmail dotcom
I came here via Bonnie Hunter’s Quiltville. Currently my quilts are quilted by my quiltshop friend/owner, but I want to be able to quilt/finish them myself. I know that your book would teach me the skills and help build my confidence. Thank you for the opportunity to enter your giveaway.
I’m a daily reader of Bonnie’s blog (never a winner of “things”, though) and now will be a faithful reader of your blog! I have tried some quilting on my domestic – small quilts, but they haven’t been that wonderful. Would be great to have some help on the techniques and ideas… Thank you.
Hello, I am another of Bonnie Hunter followers. Would love to have your book as I need help on the actual quilting part. Still call myself a beginner and need all the inspiration I can get.
Came from Bonnie Hunters blog which I follow everyday. I quilt baby quilts on my Bernina and rent machine at LOS to do larger quilts. You’re book looks very interesting and will help for new ideas.
This is what I need!
I found out about your book through Bonnie Hunter’s blog. I love hand quilting miniature and small quilts but feel that quilting large quilts by hand is overwhelming. I’ve just started to quilt by machine and would love to win a copy of your book. Thanks for the opportunity.
I too came from Bonnie Hunter’s blog, and am very happy to have found yours! The little previews of your book look fantastic and is just what I need. I have been sending most of my quilts out to be quilted, because I lack the confidence to quilt them myself. But I now have too many tops that need quilting and I just need to do them myself. Thanks for this wonderful opportunity to win a copy of your book!
Read about your new book on Bonnie’s blog and it sounds perfect for me. I like to use the walking foot and want some new ideas!
Found you through Bonnie Hunter. Congrats on your book…I’d love to win it! Thanks for the opportunity.
Bonnie Hunter showed your book on her blog today with a beautiful “circle” pattern on the cover. I’ve been waiting to learn how to achieve this on my Bernina 770, my preferred method of quilting. I have the perfect quilt top ready to try it! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
I do hand quilting. But I think some of the machine quilting is wonderful. I just have a very little house and no place for a longarm machine. Your book looks like the answer to my backlog of quilt tops. Winning would be fun but I will be getting your book the next time I have a little extra money. Thank you for taking the time to write and share your adventures in quilting.
Yes I use my checkbook often to get my quilting done but your book makes it less daunting to work it out myself 🙂 I have tried it myself with tedious luck and teeth clenched but I like the creative process of doing it. However there are lots of pitfalls to the inexperienced and you explain how to make it flow a bit smoother with helpful guidance to relieve some of the frustrations! I noticed Bonnie Hunter offering your book and last week I previously I also had seen it offered and reviewed by an ebay book seller who found it outstanding. Thank you for offering a fresh approach and great instruction!! And Thank you for the draw – Now maybe I won’t have to have endure an aching jaw and multiple frustrations!! 🙂
Bonnie sent me here! I quilt smaller quilts on my machine, but use my checkbook for larger ones!
Anther Bonnie follower here, who loves the cover on your book! I quilt by machine and love to learn new techniques and patterns. Thanks for the chance to win!
Bonnie sent me over here. I’m a domestic machine quilter all-the-way. For queen or king quilts, I generally split the top into 3 parts so I don’t have to wrestle with them too much. I have just recently started learning how to free-motion quilt, so it sounds like your new book is just what I need to expand my quilty horizons.
I usually machine quilt my projects but with the simplest of methods and would love to learn more from your book!!
None of my quilts has been quilted lately. Your book could be the inspiration I need to get back to machine quilting!
Thank for the generous giveaways! I found your blog from Bonnie as so many others have. Mostly I quilt use my walking foot because I haven’t mastered much in the way of free motion but would certainly like to expand my quilting using my domestic machine.
Bonnie sent me. I quilt mainly by checkbook, my mom does some hand quilting for me, I have done some small items myself on my machine and would like to get better and do more of my own things.
I love doing hand applique and also do pieced quilts. I love the look of the new Modern Quilts and would really like to do some and learn your machine quilting techniques on my home machine. Would love to win your new book – the quuilting is beautiful!
I’m always looking for new ideas for quilting with my home machine. Large quilts are a challenge for me!
LOL…. so I’m supposed to say, “Bonnie Hunter sent me.” and I’d love to win a free copy of your book. Thank you
Bonnie sent me! I love to longarm on my Innova, but sometimes while away on a sewing retreat I get the itch to quilt and will do so with a walking foot on my vintage Singer 301. Its feed dogs drop, but my favorite quilting is spirals with my walking foot. Thank you for the chance to win your lovely new book. Allison C. Bayer, Plano TX [email protected]
Bonnie Hunter sent me. Your book sounds very informative. I hand quilt, quilt by check, and have done some in the ditch quilting on my domestic machine. I want to expand my skills and be able to do machine quilting on my domestic machine.
bonnie sent me over! 🙂
Hi Catherine, Bonnie sent me to check out your web site and to enter the contest to win your latest book on machine quilting. I usually quilt by check book but sure would like to learn your techniques! Your book looks really great and I am anxious to give it a try. Thanks so much!
Mostly I take mine to a longarmer, but occasionally machine quilt myself if it is not too large,. Your new book looks great and I would love to be the lucky one to win it. And Bonnie sent me!
Bonnie Hunter mentioned your blog and I am sold. I am a new machine quilter after many years of hand quilting. I have a ways to go but am always wanting to try new things. I refer to it as my “brain therapy”.
Bonnie sent me. I quilt on my machine, but would like to be more adventurous with my quilting!
Love to hand quilt but arthritis has limited me there. I am OK with a walking foot when machine quilting though.
Would love a chance to win your new book. Found this information on Bonnie Hunter’s blog. Book looks great… lots of very useful information. Thanks so much!
Bonnie sent me. I’m just learning, but it is so much fun!
I read about your book on Bonnie Hunter’s blog. In the past I have sent my quilts out to be quilted. But your book looks like it could convince me to try machine quilting on my own. Thanks for the opportunity to win a copy!
I follow you on Bloglovin and also read about your book on Bonnie’s website. I’ve done some hand quilting, mostly decorative, but everything else I’ve quilted on my home machine. I’m still learning/practicing and would love to win a copy of your book!!!
I quilt by machine, just simple curvy lines and a little stippling. I would love to use your book to achieve a higher quality of quilting on my quilts.
Bonnie sent me to your blog. Wow do you have a lot of followers! Hope I’m one if the lucky winners of your machine quilting book/notions.
Bonnie sent me. Since quilting by checkbook would cause my account to be overdrawn and quilting by hand needs patience, quilting by machine is my last resort. Your book would make me and a lot of friends and family happy to see and receive finished quilts.
I quilt on a Baby Lock Tiara and love FMQ!! Found out about your book from Bonnie’s blog and it does look interesting. I love the traditional feathers but modern quilting looks like something I can get into!! Thanks for the great give-away and now I have another quilting blog to read!!
Hi, Bonnie Hunter sent me. Your book would be a welcome help to my machine quilting skills. They are in desperate need of improvement. Thank you for the offer of a give-away! I’ll be back to read your blog, too!
I found your book thru Bonnie. I like the style of your FMQ that I see in your illustrations. Winning a copy of your book would be wonderful. I machine quilt. Have fun with your success !!!
Bonnie sent me. I’d love to win your new book. I quilt by credit card, but I’m working on learning free motion. Right now everything looks like the Rocky Mountains! I’m sure your book will help. Thanks.
Hi Catherine, Bonnie sent me over. I quilt on my DSM and am quite interested in your methods to help improve my skills. Thanks for the give-a-ways. I’ll be visiting you often.
Bonnie sent me, too. I do some very basic quilting on my sewing machine and try to embellish it just a little. Your book looks perfect to help me expand my horizons.
I would love to win a copy of this book – it looks like so much fun!
Bonnie Hunter sent me here from her blog.
Thanks so much for a chance to win.
I have struggled with machine quilting on my home machine for years. I’d love a copy to help me sort this out.
Hi Catherine! Bonnie Hunter sent me!!! I love FMQ on my domestic machine, but I would love some new ideas and instructions!!
This book sounds like a winner. I like to quilt my quilts by machine! Bonnie sent me!
Bonnie sent me. I quilt on my domestic machine and also, rarely, by hand.
Bonnie said you are also giving away a copy of your very informative book, something that I would love to read as I’m a newbie to quilting – thanks for the chance to win my a copy 🙂
I have always wanted to learn how to machine quilt my own machine pieced quilts! Your book looks lovely – and Bonnie says it is great – so it must be! 🙂 Another Bonnie blog follower – and now I can follow yours as well! Thank you Catherine.
Bonnie sent me too. I am learning to quilt with the walking foot but would like to move on to more detailed designs.
Hi Catherine! I follow your blog and Bonnie’s too! I mostly machine quilt and long arm my quilts. Just started some epp and hand quilting projects. Looking for inspiration that I can flip through. Thanks for all you do,!
Another Bonnie sent me 🙂 I quilt on my domestic machine, free motion and walking foot. Your book looks great! Hope to win!
I quilt on my home machine so this looks perfect for my needs!
Bonnie sent me, too. I’ve been hand quilting for 25 years. It’s time for me to get over my fear of machine quilting. Your book looks like it’s the ticket!
I’ve been machine quilting for some years since it isn’t easy any more to hand quilt. I would just love to win your book and learn more about machine quilting!! Like a little kid – Pick me, pick me!
I started out hand quilting (got burned out on a large quilt with double feathers) but I still hand quilt small projects. I’m not very good at FM, but, am trying to learn it (again). I’m not bad a straight line (or wavy) quilting, and will be taking a ruler class next month. I have quilted with my checkbook, on large quilts. I’m a ‘never say never’ type of person, and am usually willing to at least try something new. PS: You’ve been to my quilt guild, more than once, in Plainfield/Naperville.
Bonnie sent me. I’ve quilted table toppers and runners on my machine, but would love to learn more!
Hi Catherine! I found out about your book through Bonnie Hunter’s blog. I’ve been quilting for 27 years, but my goal currently is to improve my machine quilting. Boy, those longarmers have really stepped up the game the last 2-3 years! I’d love to win your book, and thank you for writing it.
Saw your book on Bonnies blog, Would love to win a copy!
Bonnie Hunter sent me. I can use all the help I can get learning to quilt on my domestic machine. This book looks like just what is needed to learn. Thank you.
I found your website through an Instagram post by @teresacoates. I have been able to find a volunteer in our group to Longarm the prayer quilts I make but I’m going to have to start Machine Quilting them myself. 🙁
Hi Catherine so new to fmq and ruler work. I am working with a sewing machine and this book would surely help.
I like your book and would love a copy!
Bonnie sent me and I would be thrilled to have your book. I do some “quilt as you go” quilts with simple straight line quilting. I send most out to a long arm quilter. Pick Me!!! Please.
I learned about your book on Bonnie’s blog. It looks like a wonderful book! I’m always looking for more ideas about quilting on my DSM. I usually quilt on my DSM, which is quite a challenge given that I never like to make anything smaller than a twin size quilt (and usually go queen size).
Bonnie sent me over. I machine quilt on my home machine and also have use of a long arm. I love the designs I saw in your book and hope it will help me to finish the growing list of tops!
Bonnie sent me. I want to learn to quilt.
Bonnie sent me over. I have never quilted by check or plaid. I have tried straight lines and curves though. I machine quilt. One day I would like to try some quilting by hand, probably after the quilt is basted well by machine.
Janet,
Heard about you from Bonnie’s blog. Your book sounds like it could enhance my quilting at home. Love to have one.
I usually do my quilting by writing a check, but would really like to be able to quilt on my home machine. Have done a little, but definitely need more practice. Maybe if I win your book, I will be more informed and inclined to try some more. Thanks for the chance.
Bonnie sent me! I am just learning to quilt for my grandbabies! Soaking up everything I can. I plan to get your book if I don’t win so I can learn your techniques.
Bonnie sent me……..
Bonnie sent me and I would love to win a copy of this book.
I heard about your book through Bonnie Hunter’s blog. I haven’t had much experience sandwiching a quilt – so far have just done stitch in the ditch. Your book sounds great – would love to try serpentine quilting.
Bonnie sent me! I prefer machine quilting. I have hand quilted a few pieces but it takes me forever. Tje designs in your book look wonderful. Thanks for the chance to win some goodies.
Bonnie referred you to me and a whole lot of other people as well. Done writing a book I love reading and looking at pictures especially of different ways to quilt have recently experimented on the free motion quilting on my Kenmore machine thank you for the opportunity to when your book both here and also a second chance to win on Bonnie’s website have a good day.
I like to you on Facebook and I am going to follow you again congratulations on publishing a book on Quilting
Hi Catherine. I am here because Bonnie Hunter sent me and I get a chance to win a second copy of your great book. But also because I appreciate you sharing your designs with those of us who quilt on a domestic machine. I always have a lot of hesitation decided what designs to quilt, especially on half square block.
Thank You.
Bonnie sent me! I quilt most of my projects on my domestic machine so I would love to win a copy of your new book. It looks like a great tool for those who don’t own a long arm but still like to do our own quilting. Thank you!
Yes Bonnie sent me. Love finding new to me blogs. I have a longarm but it freezes me in fear!
Bonnie sent me to your blog! I liked what I saw of your new book. I do simple straight stitching on lap quilts, but have larger one quilted by a friend on her long arm! I’m in a group and we make lap quilts for people who are ill, grieving depressed or any reason that they need a bit of happiness in their life.
Bonnie sent me! I quilt by credit card, at a local longarm shop where they help me set up and I can then FMQ or use their computer aided device. Time is often the determining factor in that choice. What I’d love is to be able to quilt on my sewing machine because then it will be made 100% by me!
Found you thanks to Bonnie H. Just started quilting on my Juki 2200 and need all the help I can get
Bonnie sent me! Your blog is inspiring.
wow, Bonnie sent a lot of us here! I hope I win your book… it looks so good and I want to learn more about quilting for myself – make lots of quilts but send them out to be quilted…
thanks for your generous offer… hope I win…

I like to do mine by machine. This book looks great!!
Bonnie sent me and I would love to win a copy of your book. I machine quilt on my DSM, mostly SITD at this stage. I have recently taken a Craftsy class in this but I learn better if I have a hard copy book to reference while I am learning new techniques, guess that dates back to before the days of the I-net, LOL! Your book is beautiful. Thank you for the opportunity to enter your drawing!
Here because of Bonnie, and because I am interested in learning to quilt. I have only completed two quilts and paid for both to be done be someone else, but want to learn how to do it myself!
Yes…..Bonnie sent me, too. How thrilled you must be to see YOUR name on the cover of a book! This one promises to be immensely popular as we all hope to quilt what we want to see in our minds on the finished product. I bought a mid arm almost as two years ago and have started expanding my abilities. Seeing your processes as well as the illustrations would help me along my way to being more successful. Thanks!
Bonnie sent me, too! I machine quilt on my trusty old Bernina but your book looks like it has some great, fresh ideas for me! Thanks for your lovely giveaway and a chance to win!
Hi from Bonnie Hunter’s page- 90% hand quilter- and love to machine quilt baby size quilts – would love to stretch with your new book! Thanks
So looking forward to getting my hands on your book. I usually quilt on my dsm, but have been learning to machine quilt on a friend’s longer.
Just saw your book on Bonnie Hunters blog….I think I need your book!
Just saw this post in a Bonnie Hunter email – this seems to be just what I need!! Inspiration AND how-to’s, what more could I ask for?
Thank you for this opportunity to win and learn
I came through Bonnie Hunter. I hand quilt and would love to learn to use my sewing machine to quilt.
I read about your book on Bonnie Hunter’s blog. It looks quite interesting. Currently, I am more likely to quilt by checkbook as I am not comfortable doing so myself. Thank you for the giveaway opportunity.
Bonnie sent me too. Lovely blog! I love machine quilting most – but if it’s quilting, it’s never bad! The book looks amazing!
Bonnie Hunter sent me 🙂 I usually machine quilt but have become intimidated by the quilts I see online that have beautiful quilting on them, I would like to be able to do that type of quilting with out resorting to a longarm.
Bonnie Hunter sent me too. I am trying to quilt mine using my regular machine so I could certainly use all the tips and help in your book.
Bonnie Hunter sent me! As for quilting my projects, I would like to quilt by check but it doesn’t fit my budget as 71 year old on a small income. I have true FMQ but Not all the great at it. Seeing the cover of your new book makes me think quilting something besides in the ditch is promising!
I am so happy Bonnie has sent me. I love simple straight line quilting and modern quilting. I do quilt on a home machine with a walking foot, stitch in the ditch foot and the quilt top, not the quilting is the statement. I would love to learn how to add that “WOW” factor with your help. So excited to see your book, I could certainly use
your help.
Thank you!
Bonnie sent me. I machine quilt my own quilts and I’m always looking for new and better ways to improve.
Bonnie sent me, your book looks great and full of ideas I could try on my next quilt.
Hello!! Visiting and loving your blog! So happy Bonnie sent us! I am in the process of learning how to machine quilt and your book is exactly the guidance I need. Thank you for this opportunity. Kind Regards, Susan
Bonnie sent me here but I also read your blog. I only quilt small quilts-baby quilt size because I’m not confidant enough with my machine quilting. You make it seem so easy. I would love to win a copy of your book.
When I actually finish a quilt, I attempt to machine quilt it, when the machine is behaving for me, since I usually need it done ASAP. I requested your book from the library (It’s ready for pickup!) since I haven’t been to the quilt shop yet and the library had a copy. I’ve been enjoying your travels lately. Inspiring but I’m not that motivated the garden is calling me. Your SD class is tempting too…
I use checkbook quilting because I an unhappy with my own quilting attempts on my DSM. Would love to win your book or any other goodies to help me overcome my fear of quilting.
I came today because you will be speaking at my quilt guild in South Holland this fall and I wanted to read about you. Perfect timing! I will machine quilt up to a baby sized quilt. Anything larger than that goes to a longarmer!
Bonnie sent me! I would love to win the book from her, and notions from you!! I’ve been machine quilting my own quilts since 2013, and YouTube & Craftsy have been my teachers (as well as my local quilt shop)!! I can always learn more, and look forward to winning!! I also follow your blog frequently!!
Hi Catherine! Bonnie Hunter sent me over to your blog. I would love to win!! I prefer to machine quilt on my domestic, but will do some hand quilting on smaller projects.

Hi! Bonnie sent me over here. I do my quilting on my sewing machine. I’m fairly new at it and would love to have your book to help me learn more about it.
Bonnie sent me and yes she liked the book. 😉
I have always been terrified to try machine quilting so this might give the nerve to start. And yes, Bonnie sent me.
Bonnie Hunter sent me, introducing me to your website. I quilt by check book mostly, paying a quilt shop with a long arm quilter for my bed size quilts. But I tried your method of quilting in a circle from the center on a little 14′ square table topper and I liked it! I hope to learn more from your book and do more quilting on my home sewing machine. I hope I win it. If not, I’m going to buy it!
Bonnie sent me, too. I love the look of your book! I am learning how to quilt on my sewing machine and definitely need to get a copy of your book.
Hi Bonnie sent me! I look forward to getting to enjoy your book!! Thank you for having me!!
Hello!
I read about your book in Bonnie’s blog. I don’t quilt my own because I lack the confidence. But have always wished I could. Hopefully your book will inspire me to at least try!
I have done all 3 methods of quilting for my quilts. These days I quilt my own thanks in part to instruction received from this blog and your book. Practice does build confidence! I follow you and was also sent by Bonnie whom I also follow. Thanks for the chance to win
I have done all 3 methods but have been quilting my own for a few years since I retired. I really like your book n hope I win since I need all the help I can get. Thank u for give away.

Hi, Catherine. I quilt on a domestic machine, mostly with a walking foot because it’s really tough to manage the weight of a full-size quilt while free motion quilting. But I’d like to practice more on small pieces and, when I’m more confident, try again on the larger ones. I enjoy your posts and your beautiful photographs!
Yep! Bonnie Hunter sent me too… I would love to learn how to quilt my own quilt tops! They are piling up!
I quilt my small quilts by machine, either using the walking foot (I have your dvd and love it), or free motion. I don’t as a rule make large quilts anymore, but if I do, I’m sending it out to be quilted.
Saw your book on Bonnie Hunter’s site. I quilt on my Bernina. I haven’t gone much beyond meander. your book looks to be full of other possibilities –and the how to. Thanks for the drawing and the opportunity to know of your site.
I machine quilt…never done wavy lines. Book looks like some inspiration for that.
I am a blog follower of yours….I love your ideas and this book looks just great…I do straight line quilting myself, but quilt by checkbook too….thanks for the chance to win.
