Let's learn to make a modern patchwork quilt together!

Before I dive in and give you all the details about Beginner Quilting Academy (BQA), lets take a look at who this course is for:

  • you would love to learn how to make a quilt, but you're overwhelmed by all the supplies and steps necessary to complete one.
  • you have all the materials that you need to get started, but maybe you're intimidated to make that first cut or sew that first seam. 
  • you don't have any idea where to start but you'd love to give a handmade gift to your friends and family. 
  • you've made one or two quilts in the past, but you're self taught and you'd like to grow your skills as a quilter. 
  • you've used a variety of free tutorials and videos to piece-mill information together, but you're still feeling lost and left with questions regarding your techniques or next steps.

You're in the right place, my friend! I'm so excited to give you the tools necessary to build a foundation of quilting skills. These are skills that you will carry with you and build upon for the rest of your life. Let's start your quilting journey!

I know what you're thinking...."but Brittany, I'm not creative at all!" Or maybe you think that there's just too much to learn and you don't have the time or patience to spend learning a new skill.

Let me tell you, I've been there. I remember the feeling of overwhelm and fear.  I've developed a specific, 8 week course that gives you EXACTLY what you need to know, as well as proven strategies that take you from knowing absolutely nothing about quilting, to being a quilter. 

 

.

Here's what past students had to say about their BQA experience!

.

.

Quilting has brought me so much joy, and I know that it will do the same for you! This hobby is not only exciting and fun, but creating something with your hands is deeply fulfilling. Quilts are meant to last for generations....in fact, I still use and love the quilts that grandmother made for me and my family. It makes me excited to think that I'm also creating heirlooms that will be passed down in my family for many years to come. I hope that you'll join me inside BQA so that we can create beautiful heirlooms together!
