An update to get in on these classes. There is a minimum enrollment number so don't miss out!!

I am scheduled to teach two different quilting classes through Billings Adult and Community Education in Billings. Please share with anyone you know who wants to start their quilting journey. Also the other pattern is just fun!! We'll work on techniques in both classes.
Here's the link:
www.billingsaced.com Hobbies/crafts and look for these two classes.
The first one is a beginning quilting class that will teach you from beginning of cutting pieces and through the final quilting and binding. We're using the pattern Seashell from Villa Rosa Designs.
The second class is a fun quilt to make with precut fabric and a background. We're going to focus on accuracy. You'll be able to complete the quilt top in the class and either have it longarm quilted or quilt it yourself after class. We can discuss options for each finishing technique.
Pictures of the patterns. I'm available to discuss fabric choices as needed. They're both really fun patterns that give you lots of potential in the future for making more!

I was sidetracked -- should be no surprise to anyone 😀.Here's the photos from the last retreat. Enjoy!!

It was an awesome 3 days of teaching at Quilt Wyoming 2026 in Powell, WY.
I had great students and it was so fun to see so many wonderful people from past classes and events. A great inspiration inducing event -- my head is spinning!

The national teacher trunk shows were amazing!

And other class projects are so fun to see what they've learned. Such fun projects!!

I so appreciate the opportunity to teach this year and the faith the students had in me to share the projects with them. Enjoy these pictures.

Another note: two students in the jelly vinyl bag class were 10 and 12. Also I had two teenagers (brother and sister) making the jelly vinyl bag.

A very appreciative thank you to all who got to sew for almost 4 days with us recently. We all greatly appreciate your continued support of these retreats even if we get a bit "out of hand". It's all fun and games 😀.

Here's some eye candy and I know that some projects are rather shy and don't let the camera catch them.

Enjoy!
