Julies Name Game - New Free Motion Quilting Design #400

New Free Motion Quilting Design #400 "Foxtail"

Can you believe that we’ve just named my new free motion quilting design #400?

Julies Name Game started in March of 2017 when I asked my followers on Facebook and Instagram to help me name a new design that I had created for a workshop that I would be teaching at Quilt Canada.

We had so much fun that I’ve been creating a new design each week for you to name, and me to teach, ever since with design namers and students from all over the globe.

Of course, that means that the designs I teach at my workshops are constantly changing. What fun!!!

The winning name for this design was chosen by popular vote (Facebook & Instagram) at 6:00 PM (PDT) on Sunday, November 10, 2024.

This design is now called “Foxtail”.

Thank you and congratulations to Susan Davis of Carpinteria, California, USA for suggesting this wonderful, winning name.
