Letter from the Editor

Jody Anderson
Hi!
Welcome to May and our new Magazine! Although it feels like I lost most of April, with school holidays
and weekends away (not complaining!), looking back, I did have a week-long quilting retreat with
Annette and we actually got quite a lot made. There’s a lot to be said for a period of concentrated
quilting time when you need to get things done!
This month is a bit of a Jelly Roll celebration. What’s not to love about those colourful rolls of brightly
coloured fabrics, just waiting to be undone and played with… (OK – so to be honest, I don’t really love all
those little fluffy bits on the pinked edges that explode everywhere as you unroll, but I can live with that.)
You’ll enjoy making our new “Effervescence” quilt with that roll of 2½ inch strips you’ve been hoarding,
and if you find you still have more jelly roll strips to use, then upgrade and check out the other new
patterns in this month’s Premium issue.
There’s heaps more in this issue for you to discover as well, so crab a cuppa and Enjoy!

Free Motion Quilt Tutorial – Bricks and

Blocks Design
By Lori Kennedy from www.lorikennedyquilts.com
Are YOU a long arm quilter? Do you stitch on a

domestic sewing machine like me? (I stitch on
the beautiful BERNINA 770QE)
Do YOU quilt on a treadle machine? (Yes, you can

create gorgeous FMQ on a treadle!)
Whatever machine YOU have (assuming it’s in

good working order….) You can stitch any of the
tutorials offered here at The Inbox Jaunt,
including today’s Bricks and Blocks machine
quilting tutorial.
BRICKS AND BLOCKS
This month’s machine quilting tutorial is a great

background fill motif. Stitch the motif in a
matching color to create a whimsical background

or use a contrasting color thread to create a really

fun fill.
This motif is easy because of the hand-drawn

quality. We will draw a few guidelines to keep
our major lines straight and then toss the ruler
aside as we stitch this fun design!
Don’t worry about less than perfect lines. There

are plenty of places to stop and think or move
your hands (at any corner). And if you get stuck
somewhere-just echo stitch any line and begin
another block. Stitch an angle to the right upper corner.
MACHINE STITCHING BRICKS AND BLOCKS.
Use a ruler to draw several straight lines to keep

things relatively straight or use a stencil to draw a
grid. (I have been playing with a chalk pounce pad
from Hancy-)
Begin stitching on the first line. Add a rectangle

or a square, stopping one stitch before the first
stitch.
Stitch a horizontal line from right to left-echo

stitching the top line.

Stitch a diagonal line to the lower right corner

and stitch out of the block. Stitch another
rectangle.
Complete the next block.

To begin another row of Blocks and Bricks, echo

stitch the right edge of the lower block, then
begin a clockwise brick on top of the previous
row.
To add more visual interest (and more stitching

fun) , occasionally add other design elements like
It looks best to offset the rows –like bricks–so the spirals or stars or leave a block plain.
“mortar lines” don’t all line up.
Another way to add interest is to stitch a few tall

by adding more blocks. A Queen-sized quilt would
