Golden hour meets AMT. Recently snapped this after hours when my favorite time of day spotlit some new giant prints by and it made me smile. With so much heaviness in the world & life, I hope you’re all getting plenty of golden hour moments. 🧡

Some quilted textures from the archive. I call these free-motion designs:
Ant Farm
Triangle Swirls
Cathedral Windows
Fishnet
Sliding Pearls
Echoed Swirls
Stair Stepper

These are a few of the motifs featured in my free-motion workbook that students will be getting in our upcoming classes. Forget pantographs, rulers, or marking—quilting here is more like doodles & games.

Thanks to all who have registered early! Join me Oct. 11 at the shop or Oct. 20 online, register at supposeco.com (link in bio)

I’ve never posted this quilt, but it’s one of my favorites and deserves a spot on the grid. It was a pandemic make, and the inspiration was actually a cheesy 80s pastel photo backdrop. I just wanted low contrast, lots of solids, and texture. There are little bits of metallic and Swiss dot fabrics scattered throughout, and I quilted it with a simple, all-over motif. It’s similar to the first thing I ever learned on a longarm quilting machine—“E’s and L’s”. I’ve tweaked it a bit and I now think of it as “pretend cursive” because that’s what the movements feel like. It has such an easy rhythm and is still one of my favorite ways to quickly quilt something when I just want lots of crinkly texture. (Swipe to zoom out on the quilt.)

Pretend Cursive will be one of the first of several textural designs we’ll practice in my upcoming Free-Motion Hacks class, before we build up to creating custom designs. This class is basically everything I wish I’d known when I started free-motion quilting, and helps you build a library of designs you can use. It’s designed for both domestic machine users and longarmers. And students can bring quilts to class for help in deciding how to quilt them! You can join me either in person or online via Zoom.

They’re finally here! I’m teaching 4 new classes at Suppose this Fall, with online sessions as well—which I’m especially excited about. We’ve got Free-Motion Quilting Hacks (for users of both longarm & domestic machines) Quilters’ Design Hacks, the Hundo-Patch Improv Method, and a wool felt wreath-making party. I hope you’ll join me!
