I have a confession: I have a closet full of quilt I have a confession: I have a closet full of quilt tops waiting to be quilted. 🙈

So I’m doing something about it!

Come quilt along with me in my new class, Quilt It Already! We’re taking four quilt tops from unfinished to quilted, and I’m showing you the whole process.

You can use your own quilt tops, too!

🌸 Watch the first three lessons FREE at the link in my bio. Quiltyclass.com

Because I certainly do!

So I’ve started a new class called Quilt It Already!, and we’re going to work through four of those quilt tops together.

I’ll show you how I’m planning my quilting, choosing my designs, and actually getting those quilts finished.

And you can bring your own quilt tops along for the ride.

The first three lessons are free to watch. Come join me! Quiltyclass.com

I did not like the Peace Lily design at all, but the feathered leaf 😍. I’m on the fence about the tiny hook flowers as a filler. I like the tornados, but much prefer my swirls and pebbles over them.
