Introducing.....
Free Motion Framework by Jen Eskridge published by C&T Publishing
Hi All!! and welcome to my blog and the last day of the Free Motion Framework Bloghop. Back in 2016 I was invited to share in Jen's journey in her book creation and I am so glad to have participated. Free Motion Framework is an excellent way to create wonderful wholecloth quilts and sharpen quilting skills.
Want to take a peek inside the book?!!!! Just follow the link, it's pretty amazing!
Jen breaks down the entire process with her linear designs, in-depth instruction and guidance on how to transfer the design to your cloth and gives plenty of examples and skill builders on quilting. Each of her 10 quilt designs takes on an entirely different look when quilted. As you can see, she had 17 quilters each of them putting their own mark on her quilt designs and you can do this too!
Jen is also having a great give away....

ReplyDeleteIt depends, the blue water soluble when the designs needs to stay for awhile, or a purple disappearing ink or chalk during quilting
