Upcoming Fun with Stash Bandit
Lots of online and in-person events are coming up!
Pine Burr Workshop
Last minute seats available in an online Pine Burr workshop on Friday, July 22 from 9 to 4 Central. A Texas guild is hosting and the class is open to people outside their group.

This is a very old technique that I’ve adapted for the machine. It’s easy and relaxing and the results are stupendous. The full day class is $65.

These blocks are addictive and so much fun to make. I’ll show you several options and plenty of inspiration to get you rolling. Read more and reserve your spot right here.
Jingle Bells Trunk Show
If you’re near Omaha, I’m sharing my collection of Christmas and holiday quilts at Mangelsen’s on Friday evening, July 22, 6 pm with the Jingle Bells Trunk Show.

Tickets are $15; buy online right here or get your ticket at the door, but space is limited.

There are many techniques, styles and colors among these quilts and they’re sure to whet your appetite for holiday sewing.

There’s a little something for everyone. Please come to the Jingle Bells Trunk Show. Tickets here.
StarQuar Scrap Quilts
You may have seen my Star Silhouettes quilt on the cover of American Patchwork & Quilting this summer.

It’s based on a simple idea that leads to some pretty interesting quilts. I’m teaching this concept in classes in person and online soon. There are many quilt patterns to choose from (included), and the sewing is easy.

Join me on Zoom Thursday, August 4 at 10 am for StarQuar Scrap Quilts to learn about this little unit and other helpful concepts for making dynamic scrappy quilts.

The full day class is $65. Get tickets here.
In person at Mangelsen’s, Omaha:
Coming up soon is the same workshop in person. I’ll teach StarQuar Scrap Quilts (Christmas or Not) on Saturday, July 23 at Mangelsen’s in Omaha, Nebraska. (The tagline is part of a Christmas in July event at the store.) You can make a holiday quilt if you like but the choice is completely yours!

This full day workshop runs from 10:30 to 3:30 and tickets are $55. Reserve your spot today.
Easy Quilt Binding by Machine
I’m happy to be sharing my machine binding technique again! This online workshop happens Saturday, August 27 from 11 to 3 Central. Register right here.

I’ve been using this method for about 25 years and it has stood the test of time. It’s fast, sturdy and beautiful. I think you’ll love it.

We’ll also cover other binding topics to beef up your skills for finishing. Binding doesn’t need to be a job you dread or put off. It can be done quickly and it can look great, too! Get your tickets to this online class right here.
I look forward to meeting you in class sometime soon, whether it’s online or in person. I love quilts but I adore quilters. Until then, quilt on.
