I've also finally got started on piecing my quilt top together that I'll be using for a freemotion quilting sampler. I'm enrolled in Leah Day's Craftsy class "Freemotion Fillers Volume 1" which teaches 50 different freemotion quilting designs (49 blocks each with their own design and 1 design throughout the sashing and border.) I'm thinking, however, of substituting some of the designs that Leah teaches in the class with some of my own, such as my True Triangles design. Make sure to check out the True Triangles Video Tutorial here!
So, what do you have on your design wall? By the way, if you don't yet have your own design wall, click here for a great tutorial on how to make one for yourself from Quilts by Jen. I'm looking forward to seeing all sorts of inspiring blogs for our blog party link up!
What kind of blogs should link up?
I think that it's best to have content that matches the content and interests served with the blog that's hosting the party, so please only link up if your blog post is about any of the following:
- Quilting and fabrics
- Fiber art of any kind
- Hand & machine stitch or embroidery
- Mixed media art
- Book-making, art journals, and sketchbooks
- Tutorials for any quilting, fiber, mixed media, sketchbook and other arts
- These can be works in progress or finishes
Rules for the blog linking party
- Mention Fiber Artist Journey in your post, either with a link or button-use the direct link to the specific post - not just your main blog website (this helps with your search engine position.) If you have buttons on your sidebar that works great, please just at least mention something in your post, for example "I'm linking to Fiber Artist Journey, see my sidebar for their button." An example of a link to a specific post would be: http://fiberartistjourney.blogspot.com/2013/04/red-hot-chili-peppers.html rather than http://fiberartistjourney.blogspot.com . If you need help on how to add your link, read this.
- If you follow my blog, I'll follow yours! PLEASE make sure to comment and tell me you're following, and I'll visit and follow yours too.)
- Please take the time to visit other links, everyone loves new visitors and comments! Try to comment on at least two other blogs in the party.

Your salsa quilt is looking great, Christina. I love Leah Day's work -- I'm sure you'll have a great time taking her class.
ReplyDeleteOh nice link party! I like that you include lots of versions of fiber arts. Mixed media is almost always my favorite :)
ReplyDeleteYour link party sounds like fun. Love how you put all the helps you listed. Would love it if you follow me.
ReplyDeleteI love the layout for your FMQ sampler...I bet it's going to look great!
ReplyDeleteI'm starting with Leah Day also. I heard about her a couple of months ago and am now practicing designs to quilt my spiderweb quilt. I love your bright and cheery FMQ sampler.
ReplyDeleteI've grabbed your badge and signed up to follow you. Looking forward to joining into your linky party.
I love the sashing for your salsa quilt and I'm looking forward to seeing how you quilt your fmq sampler. I really like the layout of your coloured blocks :)
ReplyDeleteThese designs are creative and unique. I worked as a web designer for 2 years and that job was really challenging for me. I heard that there are some people who are looking for perfect designs like the web design columbia sc.
