Do you want to join me in all the fun? Great!!
How about “the sew mama sew” giveaway day!!
How about the chance to win a Free Motion Quilting Kit!! I am having so much fun with my 30 days of FMQ practice, that I thought I would share a FMQ kit that I put together (Kit also includes the Supreme Slider, not featured in this picture).

- Beginners Guide to Free Motion Quilting. A great book with plenty of examples!!

- Simplify Aurifil Thread 50wt. I love Aurifil thread when FMQ, it makes all the difference.

(Picture Source: Camille Roskelley Blog) - Machingers Gloves. I have tried three different types of quilt gloves and these are just in a different league. Wonderful!!

- Supreme Slider. This sheet reduces friction and allows the quilter to move the quilt easily.

This whole kit is worth ~$85 USD.
I will choose the winner at random using random.org. This is open for everyone; USA based and internationally (shipping will be covered by me). The giveaway is open until May 16th @ 5pm PST.
So, to enter just leave a comment telling me “What FMQ technique do you like or want to learn”. If you are a follower, you can leave a second comment letting me know.
Have fun!!
*Note: I usually try to reply to all comments but may not be able to do so due to the volumes of a giveaway.

And the winner is:
which is Pauline Perry….I will email you tonight for your details. Congratulations!!

304. FMQ is the next thing I want to learn — even the basics would be a big improvement for me!
305. I’m just simple and love the simple stippling the best! Sometimes I think the designs take away from the quilt. Not always but sometimes they do in my opinion 😀

307. I would like to learn ANYTHING about free motion quilting, as I’ve never learned.
308. Love feathers of all shapes and sizes. Great giveaway. Thanks so much for sharing
309. Even if I don’t win, I’ve already learned that Aurifil makes all the difference. The whole process intimidates me. I’ve practiced on some small quilts then I tried a larger one and I ended up taking out the seams after the first section, opting for hand quilting. I could use some tips.
