Be inspired by 16 stunning quilt designs that capture what we love the most about each spectacular season! From quilting artist Sherilyn Mortensen, who is part of the Sew Kind of Wonderful team, comes this brand new book that's perfect for quilters of any skill level. Quilting Through the Year features four step-by-step quilting projects for every season - spring, summer, winter, and fall. Each design repeats, reshapes, or reorganizes the same or similar motifs, so once you've made a few blocks, the rest is a snap! From striped pumpkins for fall to colorful wildflowers for spring, you'll love recreating these quilt blocks in different ways all year round. Using traditionally cut geometric pieces with no circles and no curves, each design is approachable and fun for every quilter to achieve. Author Sherilyn Mortensen is also the co-author of the best-selling book Mini Wonderful Curves, as well as the owner of Sea Sherilyn Sew and a Gammill quilt artist.

Free-motion quilting is the technique of stitching through the layers of a quilt on a sewing machine with the feed dogs disengaged. Without the feed dogs engaged, you're free to move the material around and stitch designs in the fabric however you like! You can stitch around design elements and motifs to echo or enhance each block, swirl and doodle randomly, follow specific design lines, or even "write" words with your thread. Overall, your finished project will become a truly custom piece! Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Free-Motion Quilting is a must-have book providing invaluable information on finishing, including an overview on working with long arm, mid arm, and home sewing machines. While you probably don't own a long arm or mid arm, shops throughout the country will rent them to you, and knowing the ins and outs of using them lets you make the best use of your time! You'll also learn about threading, color selection, and ruler work, as well as find QR codes linking to helpful how-to videos. A dozen sampler blocks are also featured, each with a unique design that can be combined in multiple ways. Free-motion quilting will make you as excited to finish your quilts as when you started them! With beautiful hand doodling, easy-to-follow, full-color step-outs, and even a gallery of Sherilyn's personal quilt collection, Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Free-Motion Quilting is a wealth of instruction and inspiration for quilters.
