Project details will be revealed later—just register, relax, and we’ll guide you when it’s time.
Kit Info:
The kit is sold separately from the event fee. Your registration includes a 6-month Quiltster subscription, letting you design your quilt or choose from pre-designed options. Updates and fabric info will be shared online and by email, including access to the Quiltster Portal to customize or select your kit.

"Erin, Amy, Erica were fantastic, patient, knowledgeable, made it exciting and inviting for me to grown in my new adventure of learning to sew and quilting. Nancy and Sandy were very knowledge and explained everything in detail. The projects were exciting but challenging for a person just learning my way around the equipment, not understanding the quilting terminology Naturally it took me a very long time on each project. I will learn about everything and continue the projects at home."
