A lot has changed in 8 years and prices for longarm machines and frames have come down while the cost (and size) of home machines has gone up!
Yes, I am a dealer for Grace Company and I love offering these machines and frames because they are more affordable for hobby quilters. I love being part of this innovative company that creates new products to help quilters finish their quilts.
Check out the Grace Qnique 21 which was in the video with me: https://leahday.com/21
Also check out the Grace Qnique 15R, which is a wonderful longarm to begin with: https://leahday.com/15R
And we have a new Q-Zone Hoop Frame which you can put your home sewing machine on and it fits within a much smaller space: https://leahday.com/Qzone

103. Meet the National Quilt Museum Registrar, Laura Hendrickson! May 01, 2019

Show notes

Meet Laura Hendrickson, the registrar of the National Quilt Museum in Paducah, Kentucky! Laura must have been super busy this past weekend during the AQS Paducah Quilt Show. In this episode we chatted about her job taking care of the quilts, packing and shipping them for various shows, and her favorites within the museum.
We also chatted a bit about materials used in quilts and if using things like starch, fusible web, or paint can have a degrading effect on the fabric. Read more here: https://freemotionproject.com/2019/05/meet-laura-hendrickson-of-the-national-quilt-museum.html

098. Permission to Make What You MOST Want to Create Mar 20, 2019

Show notes

This week I made a big decision to stop working on a project that's been in progress for months so I could begin writing a book I've been wanting to create for 5+ years. Of course making this decision wasn't easy and I've been working through all the normal issues of feeling like a quitter, regretting the time spent on that project, and more. I hope this episode helps you think about your projects differently and to stop putting the quilts, paintings, or books off for "one day." Make that day TODAY and commit to creating the things your heart most needs to create.
Read more here: https://freemotionproject.com/2019/03/permission-to-make-what-you-most-need-to-create.html
Side note: this was a bit of a ramble. I was suffering from hay fever right after getting over a cold and hadn't yet realized I needed to switch from cold medicine to allergy medicine!
