I'm so excited to announce that I'm teaching three classes at Garden of Quilts!
Hosted by Riley Blake Designs and Thanksgiving Point, Garden of Quilts takes place at the beautiful 50-acre Ashton Gardens in Lehi, Utah. This four-day festival includes classes from an international roster of favorite teachers, vendors, trunk shows, demonstrations, and a stunning outdoor exhibit of hundreds of beautiful quilts displayed among the flowers and trees.
It's such a special event, and I'm so excited to be back! I hope you sign up for my classes or stop by to enjoy the gorgeous gardens and quilt displays.

My Classes
Strawberry Basket Quilt
Wednesday, September 11, 9am-12 pm
Technique - Piecing
Skill Level - Intermediate
Finished Project Size: 60" x 77"
Stitch a fresh throw-quilt featuring delicious strawberries. This quilt has a secret in assembly -- the quilt's two blocks are set on-point to create a chain with little Xs as a secondary design. In this class, you'll make at least one of each block. You'll learn tips for sewing stitch-and-flip units, strip piecing, and working with small pieces to create a gorgeous (and traditionally-pieced) quilt. The featured fabrics are from the To Grandmother's House fabric collection by Jennifer Long for Riley Blake Designs.
North Pole Village Advent Calendar Quilt
Thursday, September 12, 9am-12 pm
Technique - Piecing
Skill Level - Beginner
Finished Project Size: 67" x 95"
Take a magical trip to the North Pole with this quilt by designer Jennifer Long. Sew houses in a snow-capped village together and have fun being creative with a variety of embellishments including applique and hand- or machine-embroidery. Jennifer will walk you through sewing a house block and adding optional door pockets to turn this quilt into an advent calendar. This quilt is traditionally-pieced and beginner friendly.
Machine Embroidered Doll

Technique - Doll Making, Machine Embroidery
Skill Level - Beginner
Finished Project Size: 14", 16", or 18"
