Leah has provided us with photos of her wonderful quilts, including close-ups of that fabulous quilting. 

Star Members can watch Leah in Show 1712: Free Motion Practice Makes Perfect.

Descriptions of the quilts follow below.

365 Free Motion Quilting Designs - This is the collection of designs Leah created in the first three years of her blog, The Free Motion Quilting Project. Oddly enough, Leah never planned to make this quilt from the beginning, but decided to connect all the little 4-inch blocks together years after they were finished. Once complete, this quilt has become a favorite at quilt shows and when Leah teaches in person. Every single design is different, making it a truly addictive quilt for texture-loving quilters!

Dancing Butterfly Quilt - This year was all about butterflies, as Leah taught quilters around the world how to piece, appliqué, and free motion quilt this beautiful quilt block by block. The butterflies were inspired by an antique quilt that was probably made by a grandmother or great grandmother in Leah's family.

Duchess Reigns - This is one of Leah's most time-consuming and challenging goddess quilts to date. This beautiful wholecloth quilt began as a large, solid white square of fabric and Leah marked and quilted the design before dyeing the entire quilt dark red. This created many challenges for the quilt because the fabric distorted badly, and at one point Leah put it away for more than a year. When she finally got back to the project Leah had to accept the flaws on the surface and just keep quilting. One of Leah's favorite tips is "throw more thread at it!" which definitely came in handy for this quilt.

My Cup Runneth Over - Thankfulness was the theme for this goddess quilt that Leah designed and quilted in 2010. Leah had a sudden inspiration to make a quilt that would represent the overwhelming love and joy of her family. This was one of the first quilts Leah designed with fusible appliqué and the hardest part was knowing what to quilt in the background. Finally after a few months of looking at the quilt on the wall, Leah realized the perfect background was a simple landscape. Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best!

Release Your Light - This huge goddess quilt is one of Leah's favorites for the transformation it brought to her life. While working on it, Leah was struck with the idea to start the Free Motion Quilting Project and challenge herself to share new quilting designs every day. In this way, Release Your Light allowed Leah  to release her light to the world, build a business, and support her family.

While it may not look like it, this quilt began as a large white bedsheet! The goddess figure was hand appliquéd to the surface, then the entire quilt was quilted. Only after it was completely finished did Leah began painting the surface with Shiva Paintstiks and colored pencils to create the dramatic blazing sun effect.
