Quilting Instructors & Projects

Becky Jorgensen

Becky is a longtime quilter, designer, and author behind Patchwork Posse, where she shares patterns, tutorials, and tips with a global quilting community. Her work has been featured in Primitive Quilts Magazine and with Andover Fabrics, and she was a 2023 Michael Miller Ambassador.

She’s also the creator of the Patchwork Planner and founder of Patchworkers Plus, an online group where quilters connect through live chats, exclusive patterns, and more. Becky’s motto, "never sew alone," reflects her passion for building community through quilting.

 

Hello Autumn

This modern quilt showcases a dynamic geometric pattern featuring repeating arrowhead blocks in a kaleidoscope of warm and cool tones. Rich shades of red, orange, yellow, teal, and aqua radiate from soft green center squares, all set against a crisp white background that makes the colors pop. Whether displayed indoors or photographed on a sandy beach at sunset, it’s a stunning contemporary design.

Size: 71" x 71"

NOTE: If you choose to provide your own fabric you will need the Hello Autumn Quilt Pattern.

Michelle Walker

Michelle Walker has been a beloved member of the quilting community for over 25 years, inspired by a baby quilt made by her grandmother. She founded Red Door Quilter in Beaumont, TX, in 2016 and is known for her beginner-friendly patterns and fabric collage work. Her quilts have been featured in Quiltmania Magazine and exhibited at the International Quilt Festival in Houston. With a patient teaching style and a strong eye for color, Michelle continues to inspire quilters of all levels.

 

Simplify

Simplify features colorful interlocking cross blocks set against a crisp white background, creating a clean and modern look. With a mix of prints and solids, this playful design brings energy with a pop of personality to any room.

Finished Size: 72" x 96"

NOTE: If you choose to provide your own fabric you will need the Simplify Pattern.


Optional Sail 'n Sew Fabric Pack

Our incredible Sail 'n Sew fabric pack includes all of the fabrics and patterns for your projects and they are pre-cut so all you need to do is sit down and sew! The price of the Sail ‘n Sew fabric pack is $303.90 and it includes precut fabric for the quilt top for both projects including the borders, binding and pattern.  

If you are interested in only one of the kits, you can specify which one on the registration form when you sign up for the cruise. If you would like a Sail ‘n Sew pack, simply select both kits when you fill out the registration form and we'll have it waiting for you on the ship.

If you do not wish to purchase a Sail 'n Sew Fabric Pack, remember to pack your own fabrics. We will not have fabrics available for purchase aboard the ship. You will need to bring your fabric pre-cut and ready for class. You must also bring your pattern or book. You can purchase the patterns here: Hello Autumn and Simplify
