My New Book!

May 8, 2020
Good Morning, Quilters!

My new book, 25 Days to Better Machine Quilting will be here soon and we are taking pre-orders! We will ship books by June 3, 2020!

I am so proud of this book–It’s a happy, happy day! When I finished writing, in February of 2019, I told the publisher they could call it “Everything Lori Kennedy Knows About Machine Quilting”!   (I’ve learned a bit since then, so maybe I have a fourth book in me–lol!)

Motif Books

My first two books are primarily motif books.  Free Motion Machine Quilting 1-2-3 and More Free Motion Machine Quilting 1-2-3 include step-by-step tutorials for more than 60 motifs in each book.  Both books include chapters on machine set-up and other helpful tips, but my new book goes in depth on 25 quilting topics.

The Answer Book

YOU were my inspiration!  When writing this book, I relied heavily on questions YOU ask here at LKQ.  The book includes 25 chapters answering all those little questions and dilemmas that hold us back from finishing our quilts!

Hands-On Learning

 25 Days to Better Machine Quilting is a hands-on approach to learning free motion quilting.

Each chapter covers a topic in-depth and then provides a small project to illustrate and practice the new skill.

The projects are fun and cute-cute-cute!

With each new skill you gain, you’ll be more confident about stitching YOUR quilts!

25 Lessons/25 Weeks

Each lesson and the accompanying project are designed to be completed in an afternoon. Starting in June, we will work on the projects together, completing one or two lessons per week.  (Like a college course in machine quilting!)  While many of the concepts are simple, the BEST way to learn is hands-on.  I hope YOU will join in!

Pre-Order on Etsy

I would be delighted if YOU would pre-order from my Etsy shop. We are offering an early-bird special rate of $24.99!

All books will be signed to YOU and will include a little quilting sample!

Once everyone has their books, we will start our online quilt-a-long!

I can’t wait to see what YOU create!

HAPPY STITCHING!

Yours,

Lori

PS…Please excuse the gross overuse of exclamation marks in this post!!!! I’m just happy!!! Happy!!! HAPPY!!!!

    Would love to order your new book but went to Etsy to price it and the book itself is costly enough at AU$ 40.67, then if you add in the postage of AU$35.80 it really knocks it right out of my spending capability as a pensioner. Is there any other way of obtaining it? eg download pdf?

    1. GrrannyH says:

      I just checked Amazon.com, and it says there is a Kindle format for $9.99US, pre order price.

      1. Debby says:
        May 8, 2020 at 9:04 pm

        GrannyH – Don’t own a Kindle. Can Kindle format be used on a computer?

        I bought one of Lori’s books on Kindle and cannot print it. To get to South Africa cost more in postage than the actual book. Thanks to Lori for all her inspiration. I have used many of her motifs over the years.

    2. Ellen says:

      Yes, you can download a kindle reader on a computer.

    Very exciting! Each time I sit down to fmq, I always have a little fear in my stomach, feeling unsure about whether or not things will turn out. They usually do but I would love to feel more practiced and confident.

    I saw the book at Cando Books in Australia listed at $54.99, not quite as expensive as from USA with postage. I think they do free postage for online orders.The price of books seems to have skyrocketed recently, Lots of them around $50 these days.
