Flowing yellow machine stitching on red fabric
New Free Motion Quilting Design #425, "Westcoast Wave"

I have to admit to having a soft spot for all types of feather quilting, even as background fill.

This variation sprung to life while recently teaching my workshop, Inspiration to Stitch.

It was named by popular vote (Facebook & Instagram), with a little help from a random name picker at 6:00 PM (PDT) on Sunday, May 4, 2025.

This design is now called “Westcoast Wave”.

Thank you and congratulations to Cathy Hodge Crawford of Cobble Hill, BC for suggesting this wonderful, winning name!

Some free motion quilting designs just want to be bold, beautiful, and maybe even a little wild.

This new FMQ certainly fits the bill!

Julies Name Game - New Free Motion Quilting Design #423

Machine stitching on blue fabric
New Free Motion Quilting Design, "Butterfliesin Bloom"

Let's catch up on some of my new FMQ designs.

Inspired by vintage ribbon work, this new free motion quilting design takes a little longer to stitch, but I love how it creates areas of light and shadow.

I think it would be lovely stitched on a garden-themed or Easter quilt!

The winning name was chosen by popular vote (Facebook & Instagram)at 6:00 PM (PDT) on Easter Sunday, April 20, 2025.

There were many imaginative name suggestions, and the voting was lively.
In the end, one name proved to be your favourite.

This design is now called “Butterflies in Bloom”.

Thank you and congratulations to Cathy Connell for suggesting this wonderful, winning name!
