Upcoming Teaching!!!

So right now, I am actually teaching on a quilting cruise to Alaska!!!  You can follow along on Instagram, and hopefully I will remember to post some pics ;)  I know I said things were slowing down with school starting, but I just looked at my calendar and realized, things are not slowing down at all ;)  I am teaching at 4 different quilting venues in the next two months and it is going to be oh so much fun!!!  So . . . . I figured I better share where I will be and maybe you can come quilt with me!!! 

     First up . . . 

Garden of Quilts

Date - Sept 13-16, 2022

Place - Lehi, Utah 

This will be right after I get back from the quilting cruise and I am so excited!!!!Garden of Quilts is an experience unlike anywhere else I have taught :)   This is the third time I will be returning to teach at Garden of Quilts and I am just thrilled.  Something about combining the love of quilts with the beauty of the gardens is just refreshing to the soul!!!    There is still room in some of my classes, and you can still sign up!!!   I will be teaching my soon to be released Crossing Paths pattern on Wednesday morning and my also soon to be released How They Shine pattern on Wednesday afternoon.  Then on Thursday morning it's Summer Breeze (class sold out)  followed True North (class sold out)  and both of these older patterns have had a major overhaul.  I will be sharing more soon!!!  Friday morning I will teach my Braided Irish Chain pattern (only 2 spots left), which has also been updated, and then Treasured from my Fast & Fun Lap Quilts Book on Friday afternoon.   Finally, on Saturday morning I will teach Puzzle Box, also from Fast & Fun Lap Quilts.   It's going to be so much fun!!!  I hope you can come and join in, it is so worth the trip ;) 

         

Crossing Paths - Sep 13 - 9am     How They Shine - Sep 13 - 2pm   Summer Breeze - Sep 14 - 9am

         

True North - Sep 14 - 2pm                             Braided Irish Chain - Sep 15 - 9am

             

Treasured - Sep 14 - 2pm                  Puzzle Box - Sep 16 - 9am

Then as soon as I get back from Garden of Quilts it is the 

9 Patch Quilt Retreat

Date - Sep 18-21, 2023

Place - Cedar City, Utah 

This is always fun because it is local.  This quilt retreat is mainly a "work on  your own projects" quilt retreat, but I will be teaching two classes this year, just to add to the mix!!  I am teaching Nordic Nights and Summer Breeze and both are favorites to teach!!!  It should be an amazing group of quilters to work with!!!

    

Then I have a couple of weeks to catch my breath, before heading to the . . .

Quilter's Heritage Festival

Date - Oct 5-7, 2022

Place - Richfield, Utah 

I just love this quilt retreat!!!  I have taught there once before, and have been trying to get back for several years but there was always a conflict of dates.  I am so excited to be able to return this year!!!   I will be teaching Aurora from my Fast & Fun Lap Quilts Book, Blossoming Stars, and Swirling Leaves.  Only the Swirling Leaves class has spots open for sign ups ;)   It is going to be such a fun filled weekend with so many amazing quilters, and if you have never been to Richfield, you will just adore it's small town feel ;)  

   

  

And then a few days later it's  . . .

 

Quilt Fest

Date - Oct 10-14, 2022

Place - Layton, Utah 

 I have taught at this retreat many times, and it is always super fun!!!   Quilt Fest held by the Utah Quilt Guild, is such a wonderful time with so many people coming together ;)     I will be teaching 4 classes at this retreat . . .  my soon to be released How They Shine pattern on Wednesday morning, followed by  Jacks from Fast & Fun Lap Quilts on Wednesday Afternoon.  Then on Thursday, it is more Fast & Fun Lap Quilts fun with my Aurora class taught in the morning and my Puzzle Box class taught in the afternoon.   It's going to be so much fun!!!        

 

         

How They Shine - Oct 11 - 8:30am                            Jacks - Oct 11 - 2:30pm

     

        

Aurora - Oct 12 - 8:30am                             Puzzle Box - Oct 12 - 2:30 pm

And then, before I even go home, I am stopping on my way down the I-15 to . . . 

Cornwagon Quilt Co. 

Date - Oct 13 - 14 , 2022

Place - Springville, UT

Cornwagon Quilts Co. is such a wonderful quilt store.  And super fun for me, they have a retreat center, so I get to come and share a trunk show and classes!!!  I am so very excited ;)  I will be teaching 3 classes and I will also be sharing a Trunk Show on the evening of Oct 13th!!!   Before the trunk show, I will be teaching my Nordic Night class on Friday Morning.  Then on Saturday, I am teaching my Summer Breeze class in the morning, and my Moroccan Lullaby 2 class in the afternoon.     I am so super excited!!!!

Summer Breeze - Oct 14 - 10am                             Moroccan Lullaby 2 - Oct 14 - 2pm

And then . . . I am taking November and December off from traveling.  But you better believe 2024 is going to be hitting the ground running.  I am already booked for Moab, UT, Grand Junction CO, New Braunfles, TX, Tucson, AZ, and of course, all over Utah all year.  It's going to be a year of so much fun!!!

Oh, and one other booking for 2024 . . . Just in case you are wishing you were on the Alaska Cruise with me . . . You can still come cruise with me in May 2024!!!  It's going to be so much fun ;)  

 

I hope I get to see some of you in class!!!!   Have a Happy Quilting Day!!!!

August's Sew Sampler Box!!!

Well, here we are at the close of another month.  Man, summer sure does fly by.  But I am excited for things to slow down a bit now, as everyone is back to school and I have full day's to sew!!   And August's Sew Sampler Box has lots of goodies to sew with for sure!!!     I can't wait to get to my machine!!! 

I was so excited to find this gorgeous Sunray Day in the Life Fat Quarter Bundle!! Echo Park makes such fun designs, and this Day in the Life Fabric  is just so happy and full of life.   And how cute is that Sunray pattern!!!   Those blocks just burst and I love the pops of yellow and pink!!!  It truly encompasses a summer picnic :)   

And the notions for this month are fun!!!! This Scribbles Petite Tear away Quilting Paper is new to me, but such a great idea for new quilters learning to free motion quilt.  I think it will be a great technique builder!!!   And how adorable is that 1 1/2" Creative Grids square ruler.   I think I want to display it more than use it, it is just so cute!!!   And of course, I always love thread, and this Mettler cotton silk finish thread is just so fine!! So much quilty goodness!!

And yes, another month is coming and going in the Pressed Flowers Quilt Along!!!!  I still really want to do this quilt. maybe now that school has started I will have time to get caught up.  Here is hoping next month I will have lots of blocks to share!! 

And just a note, there are currently some openings for  Sew Sampler boxes so you can jump right in and start having this lovely little aqua box arrive at your doorstep too!!!   

And that is August Sew Sampler Box and I am so looking forward to September's Box, but I am also making a goal to sew the Pressed Flowers blocks before it comes ;) 

Happy Quilting!!!

Barn Star Sampler QAL - Month 8

 It's Month 8 of the Barn Star Sampler Quilt Along and I am just so excited to share another set of blocks!!!  Thanks to Fat Quarter Shop' for hosting this awesome quilt along!!  I am having so much fun sewing along and am just loving how each of these ombre stars are coming together :)     This month we are sharing Block 8 :)  

My Barn Star Sampler will finish at 100" x 100" square, so sometimes I will be making more blocks, but this month, it's just 2 like everyone else. I am so happy with the Rainbow of Ombre goodness in this months blocks!!!   This month's Block 8 is made . . . 

in Strawberry

and Orange

And how fun are these Farmer's Star Blocks!!!  This month's colors had lots of contrast in them, and I think it just really makes these blocks pop.   I loved the more blocky design of these stars, and I think they will add such a great contrast to all of the other star blocks.    

So are you quilting along with all of the star fun as well??  Be sure to share all of your Barn Star Sampler progress on social media with #BarnStarSamplerqal and check out Fat Quarter Shops post for Block 8  for lots more Barn Star Inspiration!!!
