Monday, December 1st and 8th, 10-1:00 p.m. Eastern time.

There have been requests for this class to happen before the holidays. Some want to use these skills for last minute gifts. So, we have inserted the class on two Mondays at the start of December.  

Come join us. Make a quick wall hanging or table runner that is stunning or cute. There are many patterns to choose from and the results are delightful.

Occasionally, I have heard talk about the Alabama Beauty. I've also done some research about this quilt block, only to discover that it's been around a while as a delightful block to create.   

In my class, I will introduce you to the ease of sewing curved edges. Because Accuquilt has done the math for us, the shapes can be easily cut and sewn together. Previously, this block could only be created by using templates and painstakingly cutting them apart with scissors or a rotary cutter. 

This is a block where you can be creative with color, creating a variety of designs with how you choose to place colors. What fun this is. 

Since you can make a poinsettia table runner with this quilt block, it is perfect for the Christmas holidays. I do hope you'll take a few December hours to do something for you. See you in class.  Click here to register.

The crazy quilt die comes in two sizes: 6" and 10" finished. The smaller size die is awesome for table runners while the larger is terrific for soft, cozy quilts that look like something grandma might have made. 

Supply list for this class: multiple scraps, fat quarters or layer cakes. If you're making a larger quilt project, check out Carol Thelan's www.quiltnotes.com to determine the yardage needed. It's a wonderful tool. 

This class is built into December as a quick-study class for those creating inexpensive gifts out their stash. Get some fun ideas from our class and then apply them. You might even consider joining the Christmas workshop on December 18th for a day of uninterrupted Christmas Elf sewing.

Overwhelmed quilters need uninterrupted sewing time for unfinished projects, Christmas sewing, and for catch-up on class work. 

Many want company in their sewing room. Others want to know there is someone who can help them with a skill. So, join me in my sewing room. I will join you in yours. Let's help each other, and sew together on Zoom. 

Schedule one day once a month for uninterrupted sewing. Write it on the calendar. Educate your family that you are dedicating that day to the sewing room. Maybe plan ahead so supper is in the freezer. 

Call this a mini-retreat, a therapeutic respite, or a Christmas workshop. The spirit is the same; we are all like elves preparing for that big day when we gift a quilt to someone. Many of us just need to breathe and create. 

I offered July, August and September on a Tuesday. Now there are official Christmas Workshops on Thursdays: October, November and December from 10-5:00 p.m. By switching the days, it gives those who couldn't do Tuesdays a chance to join a different day. 

Also, it is possible to register for one day or two or three. Please know that the cost is slightly less if you pay for the three day package. But this payment option gives you some flexibility, month to month. 

There is nothing quite like the satisfaction that comes from playing with the log cabin die. It is one of Accuquilt's creations that make life so much easier.

The die cuts 1 1/2" strips in a variety of lengths. They are all set to sew into quilt blocks that can measure different sizes. Much depends on how many rounds are put onto the center square. 

Our class will inspire you with a 'museum' of pattern designs and ideas that turn almost any quilter on to using the log cabin quilt blocks. I have created a Facebook page for log cabin students and you will receive a study guide for a permanent reference. 

Class is recorded and downloadable. Won't you join me? Let's build a log cabin project in one way, shape, form or another. Register by clicking here.

Two 3-hour classes monthly for 8 months on Zoom: January through August 2026 - with an empty week in between classes.

This is a Kansas Troubles quilt pattern that is designed to last 12 months. Through QuiltersB, making it Accuquilt friendly, we will tackle the quilt pattern in 8 months and provide guidance for the variety of quilt blocks in this beautiful pattern. It is a delightful quilt. 

Brighten your home with the classic decor of the Vintage Christmas Sampler, a traditionally pieced pattern with just a bit of fusible applique for the ornament tops. This fun design features log cabin blocks, flying geese, stars, and various Christmas motifs that will bring joy to your home for years to come. The quilt  is queen sized and finishes to approximately 88" x 100".

Search for the Kansas Troubles fabrics or use your own. If the quilt is started in January, it could be finished in time for Christmas 2026.

I'm not revealing any secrets here. Donna and her dog 'Stitch' will guide you through all the next steps, and beyond. Learn to quilt your quilts artistically because you can.

Carol Thelen is amazing. She is a member of our Learning and Support page. Her educational training was in engineering, and in retirement she reinvented herself by creating Quiltnotes.com. 

In October, Carol taught us how to use Accuquilt, EQ8 and Quiltnotes in conjunction with one another. Her explanation is easy to understand, and opens the door to a whole new way of figuring yardage for pieced quilts. At the same time, we learn how to apply borders to quilts, make quilt layouts simple, and even design quilt blocks.
