I tried a new quilting design last night, inspired by some conversations about free motion and some of the amazing displays at Quiltcon.
It still looks a little shaky, but each block looks better than the last. So that last block in the corner will be the best one? Blerg. I like the overall effect. It reminds me of snails.

I design and sew quilts in northern New Jersey. I teach beginning quilting and free motion quilting classes at Rock Paper Scissors in Montclair, NJ.
After growing up in a small town in Rhode Island, I studied journalism in New York and London. I wrote and reported for marketing trade magazines PRWeek, Ad Age's Creativity and DMNews. I have also taught ballet to toddlers, answered phones at a small airport and written an advice column.
I write and read fiction when I find quiet moments at home with my husband, two young boys and cockapoo, Gonzo. I love yoga, grilled cheese, skiing, geometric patterns, travel and milkshakes.
Hey Melanie! I found your blog through the NJMQG blog, and I am loving looking through the quilts I haven’t seen. You have some beautiful quilts. I really love this and the “snail” pattern effect. I can’t wait to see what you bring to the March meeting!
Thanks! I really liked what you brought on Thursday too. I love finding people online who I have met in real life. Thanks for stopping by! I can’t wait to check out your blog.
