Alpine Quilt Classes

Posted on January 11th, by Amy in Quilt Retreat. 6 comments

Remember the teaching opportunity I mentioned way back here?  A few of the logistics have changed, however if you would like to sew with me there is a fun opportunity later this month!  Alpine Quilt Retreat and classes is located in a beautiful home in Utah, and I’m looking forward to quilting with you!

We will be sewing with solids!  I have my personal collection of solids to show you the differences between manufacturers and weave of some of the fabrics.  The quilt pattern being used is even on sale right now!  You can view the schedule of all the teachers – here.  And  all the details needed to register are here.  Let me know if you plan to be there!

Hi friends!  I was excited to get an invitation in my email a couple weeks ago to teach at a new Quilt Retreat here in Utah!  Who me!?

Well, I do love quilty friends, and encouraging the love of quilting, so, YES me!  After a chat with Syndey on the phone,  and a slew of emails I have dates for next year.  Early enough that you can even put it on your Christmas list – I see your wheels turning…We will be working on my Balanced Connections Quilt for the weekend, and opening your horizons to the beautiful possibilities of solid fabrics.  I’m so excited about some hands on experience with teaching and hopefully meeting some of you!

What do you think?  Is there a quilt retreat in your future?

The dates are January 27-29 and March 10-12, 2011.
