New Quilting Life Academy Session + Backpack Sew-Along & More
|
Hello Reader, First, thanks so much for taking the time to open my newsletter. I try to share helpful tips and links each weekend so you can make the most of your quilting life. Today I have some exciting things to share including a new Quilting Life Academy session beginning soon, a delightful backpack sew-along (starting tomorrow) and more! Keep reading for details plus links to all of my blog posts and videos from the week. Quilting Life Academy Session 4I'm super excited to announce that the doors are open for my Quilting Life Academy now, and classes will begin on Monday, July 14th. This on-line six-week quilt course for beginner to intermediate quilters is a fantastic way to learn to quilt or to improve your current skills. The course is available in weekly increments, and everything is on video so you can watch it over and over (there are also two live sessions that are recorded for Q&A). The course includes printables for organizing, small project patterns for practicing new techniques, and step by step instructions to make the Garden Stars Sampler quilt pictured above (pattern also included with the course). Over the past year I've been able to meet several of my course students in person and have been grateful to hear of their appreciation. This is the last time I'll run this course in 2025, so join us now (plus, get the early bird pricing now, a $50 savings)!
Violet + Archie Backpack Sew Along with Kait from Knot + ThreadI'm super excited to share about a great backpack sew-along with my friend Kait. I've known Kait for years--and she's an incredible sewist, long-arm quilter and pattern designer (not to mention an all-around amazing human)! If you've ever wanted to sew a backpack--my friend Kait has you covered! The 2025 Backpack sew-along begins tomorrow, June 23rd, using her Violet and Archie backpack patterns. Whether you’re new to bag sewing or a seasoned pro, Kait has patterns, tips, and sew-alongs to help you create something beautiful (and useful!). Find the details below:

Hello Reader, I hope you are having a wonderful weekend (it's a long one if you are here in the United States). With September just around the corner (tomorrow), I've got plans to do a little fall decorating. I just can't hold out for the official start to fall even though our temperatures are still well above 100 during the day.
