Lecture: Quilt Your Life – Milestone Quilts for Every Moment (Online)

What do you get when you combine journaling with quilting, and add a little bit of photography? Milestone quilts! Come explore the world of quilting your life, and see why these quilts are a fun and meaningful solution to joyful sewing in this busy world. Join Kitty as she shares her journey through the world of milestone quilts, beginning with the quilt she created for her third child to mark his first year of life, and including many other life events that can be documented through the creation of a quilt—from family adventures to miles run and hiked through the course of a year. See the power of positive feedback loops between life and quilting put to use, and leave feeling inspired and ready to document your days through quilt-making, one attainable goal at a time.

Workshop: Off the Beaten Path Piecing with Improv Mountains (Online)

Friday May 2nd, 2025, 9:30-4:00 PM

Set off fearlessly with Kitty as she teaches you how to piece an improv mountain range wall hanging, full of adventurous skill building. In sewing the unique and nestled mountains, you will learn how to piece gentle improv curves, precise thin strips, and how to think through the orderof operations when piecing more complex blocks. Kitty will demonstrate how some pre-planning can set you up for success with off the beaten path designs. Playing with both color gradients and creative piecing methods, you will leave with more confidence to dive into improvisationally pieced quilt construction, ready to head off the grid and embrace the adventure!

This workshop will include a handout with instructions. No additional pattern is required. The workshop will be recorded, only for students who sign up but are unable to attend some/all of the workshop.
