Upcoming Teaching Dates (and why I'm not teaching at QuiltCon)
I just finished the fall class schedule for Quilting from the Heart this week! I'm teaching 5 machine quilting classes this term, and they are all going to be offered as Kathleen Quilts Live! classes! This time around we will be filming the in person class, and it will also be streamed live for anyone who wants to take them online. All class times are Mountain time, and prices in $Canadian.
Next Steps in Free Motion Quilting
Love (or at least like) free motion quilting, but you’re looking for a way to step it up a notch? Spend the day with Kathleen as she shares her favorite designs, shows you how she plans her quilting & have a great time! You must be comfortable free motion quilting on your machine.
Time: 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM Dates: Saturday October 7 Fee: $75
Machine Quilting With Rulers on your Domestic Machine
Rulers are a great way to get intricate looking quilting without a high level of skill. Learn the basics of how to do professional looking quilting with your domestic sewing machine. Some familiarity with Free Motion Quilting is required.

Machine Quilting With Rulers Level Two (Previously Quilting For the Crazy)

Machine Quilting Boot Camp
Looking to up your free motion quilting game? Spend 8 sessions with Kathleen, and by the end of the month, you’ll be a free motion pro. You’ll finish the class with 8 whole-cloth cushion covers. This class was developed with Kat Jones, an award winning quilter from Australia. Open to all skill levels. Classes will be available to view on-line so if you miss a day you don’t miss anything.

Easy Quilting, Stunning Quilts
Use straight lines and easy fills to create stunning modern quilting designs. Use the piecing in the quilt to find hidden shapes and lines, then simply fill them in for fantastic quilting! In this class you will use a cheater panel to practice the techniques we learn. A basic familiarity with free motion quilting is required.

In other news, the class list came out for QuiltCon 2018 this week. I'm not teaching this year -- I applied, but breathed a huge sigh of relief when I was rejected. Teaching at QuiltCon is not really for me. I don't have a US work visa, so I can't be paid to teach, and it was a lot of work for what was essentially a vacation. I put everything I had into those classes, and was completely heartbroken when the comments came back. So when I was rejected, I was mostly relieved that I wouldn't have to do it again. I'm looking forward to actually being able to enjoy QuiltCon this time around, and take some fun classes.
Later days, Kathleen.
