Classes & Pop up Stores for Quilt Guilds

We offer Quilt Guilds this one day fabulous and fun experience. Who doesn't love creating something new, eating, quilting, and shopping all combined into one super fun day for your guild to experience.

Here's how it works. Your guild picks a class it would like to learn from the projects below. You supply a minimum of 8 members or more who sign up for the course to be held at a location your guild provides. I'm happy to teach it to your members for free. Then we work on the project all morning. At this time all guild members are invited to a free spicy lecture I give on the latest techniques and technologies in quilting. We then all break for delicious homemade beverages and snacks provided by the guild members. Then the pop up store will be revealed containing over 400 items at our best prices for all the members to enjoy.

Please don't hesitate to contact me if your guild is interested in this unique at home retreat experience.
