Whether you are a new or experienced quilter, there’s always more to learn. I personalize sessions to focus on your learning goals, for example, if you know how to paper piece, you may want to be more efficient or tackle a more complex pattern. Ask yourself, "where do I want to go?" I'll help you get there.
