Easy Longarm Piano Keys

New longarm tutorial and great mail

6/2/2016

Yesterday I shared the quilting that I finished this weekend on my next Quilt of Valor. Last night I took a few minutes to write up a tutorial for how I did the faux piano key motif for the background. This was a very fast way to finish off this quilt and I think it looks pretty good too.....and no ruler work!

If you are interested you can get check out the Easy Piano Key tutorial.

Not interested in my super easy quilting tutorial? Well, maybe you will like these cards that I received in the mail recently. I send a lot of cards but I don't receive many so these were great surprises. The top one was made by Beth Hunter and the bottom one is from Judy Stupak. Judy even used a bit of my hand dyed fabric in hers. It's good to know how others feel when they get a card from me in the mail!

Great tutorial. I don't want to do fussy ruler work either and repeating the curves back to make a ribbon is a great solution for not having threads to tie off.

You know I love ruler work but sometimes I love getting a quilt done more!

you are a very clever girl. holding that marker onto the longarm to mark the quilt is genius. i always like your quilting ideas and then want to go do them on my quilts. thanks for sharing.

Even though I do my quilting on a domestic machine, I found the tutorial interesting.

I always forget about those markers. I bought some. Now where are they? Have a great weekend!

It's good to give, but it's also fun to receive isn't it.

Ya know, I still have my crayola experiment sitting in my closet. I "should" check to see if the marks have come back up! I seriously need a playdate with Penelope! Thanks for the tutorial.
