The celebration continues with a give-away or two!

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.

  12. 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.

    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!!

  41. Rachel S said:

    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!!

    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!

    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 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 .

    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…..

  65. Marilyn Wiechert said:

    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!

I will be back!

      I forgot to mention that I love machine quilting on my domestic sewing machine. Complete freedom!

Again, your book looks fabulous!

    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.

  143. Laura said:

    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…

    June 11, 2017

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

  160. Velicia Evans said:

    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.

  161. caroline Lindebak said:

    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.

    June 11, 2017
  162. Maureen said:

    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.

    June 11, 2017
  163. Sarah in NF CT said:

    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.

    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!

  168. Jackie Goosen said:

    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!

  170. Diane Dunder said:

    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!

    June 11, 2017
  171. Mary Deeter said:

    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’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

  175. Ramona Meserve said:

    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.

    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! 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!

    June 11, 2017
  185. Cheryl said:

    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 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.

    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.

    June 11, 2017
  220. Darlene said:

    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

  221. Betty H said:

    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!

  226. Melody Lutz said:

    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!!!

  227. Carline Anthony said:

    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.

    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.

  231. Donna W said:

    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.

    June 11, 2017
  232. 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

  235. Heather said:

    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!

    June 11, 2017
  236. Mildred Plaskett said:

    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.

    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.

    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

    June 11, 2017
  248. Ann D said:

    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.

    June 11, 2017

  253. Cheriee Jones said:

    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!

    June 11, 2017
  254. Mary E Adams said:

    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!

  255. Pat Onderdonk said:

    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!

    June 11, 2017
  256. Deborah DeBerry said:

    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.

    June 11, 2017
  257. Robin Miller said:

    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.

    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.

    June 11, 2017

  273. Angela Bowling said:

    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.

    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.

  278. Julie Rae said:

    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?

    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 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.

    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

    June 11, 2017
  332. Carol Gouveia said:

    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 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.

  342. Beth Barron said:

    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.

  352. Linda Olivera said:

    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.

    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 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 🙂

    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.

    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.

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 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’!!!

    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.

    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.

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.

    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,

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

  505. Debbie Pickthall said:

    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 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.

    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 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]

  550. 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 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.

  575. Robby H. said:

    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!

    I am so happy Bonnie has sent me. I love simple straight line quilting and modern quilting.

So excited to see your book, I could certainly use
    your help.

    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…

  614. 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!

    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.
