I'm Teaching at International Quilt Festival in Houston!

The International Quilt Festival in Houston welcomes around 40,000 attendees annually from over 25 countries worldwide, including quilt artists, enthusiasts, and collectors. This remarkable quilt show is the largest in the U.S., showcasing more than 1300 quilts, offering over 200 classes, lectures, and other special events, alongside more than 400 vendors at the exhibition.  Classes begin as the International Quilt Market Trade Show ends on Oct 6th.

REGISTRATION opens today, and I am thrilled that a couple of my classes were selected for this year's Festival!

 #365 Y-SEAMS, Y NOT? AN EASY APPROACH TO Y-SEAM CONSTRUCTION

but were stopped in your tracks by the dreaded Y-seam construction?

a beautiful Y-seam that lays flat and takes no time at all! 
This gentle 60-degree angle serves as your gateway introduction
to seemingly difficult seams to level up your quilting skills! 


Have you attended Quilt Festival in Houston?  It was on my bucket list for years, and I first attended in 2014 with my friend, Beth.  I still cherish that experience; it was a trip of a lifetime! 

I can't wait to return, and I would love to see you there, too!

Happy Quilting!
