Teaching at the 2025 Garden of Quilts

Wednesday, April 30, 2025

I'm so excited to announce that I will be teaching at the Garden of Quilts again this year!
This will be my fourth year teaching and I couldn't be more thrilled!

If you haven't been before, it's 4 full days of classes, quilts swaying in the breeze throughout 50-acres in the incredible Ashton Gardens, lectures, trunk shows, demos, and a quilty vendor marketplace - 
all located at Thanksgiving Point in Lehi, Utah.

The dates are September 10th - 13th.


They even have some special events such as afternoon tea, a "meet the maker" social and shopping event, special dinners, and (what is sure to be) an inspirational show by Lori Holt!  It's going to be so much fun, so be sure to grab some friends/loved ones (or even come by yourself!) and join us for a week full of inspiration and one heck of a good time!
  

I'll be teaching 4 classes...


Wednesday afternoon, I'll be teaching Pineapple Block Paper Piecing.  It's such a great technique to add to your quilting repertoire!  My "grab and go" method is great for all skill levels!


Friday afternoon, I'll be teaching one of my upcoming patterns, Checkered Spools
(which will be available in a few weeks!). It's a 2 1/2" strip-friendly pattern with 2 size options.


Saturday morning, I'll be teaching Big Baby - a great class for beginner quiltmakers!  We'll focus on using an accurate 1/4" seam allowance, "nesting" seams, the time-saving "web-piecing" technique, and making Flying-Geese.  A baby quilt is a great place to start in the world of quilting!


And finally, on Saturday afternoon, I'll be teaching a new(ish) pattern of mine called Feels Like Home.  We'll make 3 different blocks while we do a little bit of paper-piecing (for the roofs), learn a time-saving triangle piecing hack (for the hearts), and focus on using an accurate 1/4" seam allowance.


It's sure to be a good time so I hope you'll join me!  Please let me know (below) if you have any questions!  There are so many fun classes; I'm hoping I might have time to take one or two, myself!
