The Quilted Adventure: A Year of Fun and Creative Projects

Great tips and tricks are shared with you by your instructor on how to quilt the bag without needing to do freemotion quilting. This is a really fun technique, and I think you're going to enjoy making that. The pop open closure kind of just pops open, so you have no crazy zippers or anything like that to use to install in the bag. So you can see that it's called the Quilted Adventure.

Some projects are more like quilts, and other projects are fun quilted type of projects. You don't need to make a quilt every month. This year, there are a lot of variety in different projects. We even have a fabric dying class, as well as some other from projects from some popular instructors. You guys probably know Melanie ham who's one of my friends and a really popular YouTuber. She's teaching a class as well, Heather from the sewing Loft Melly from Melly Souls we have a lot of really fun uh instructors and really fun projects that I think you'll enjoy making this year as a part of the Quilted Adventure.

One quick bonus that a lot of you may not be aware of is that as a part of the retreat, um we are wanting to bring in a little bit more of that live and in-person connection that you get at the in-person Retreats. And since this is completely online, we're kind of missing that component of it. So what we've decided to do is I will be hosting a 1-hour live stream video every single month for us to get together live and inperson chat. I'll talk a little bit about the classes, what project is coming up next, and we can kind of have like an in-person meeting live on the internet once a month.

There's also tons of different chats and forums that you can join, so you can make that sense you know get that sense of community with the other retreaters that are part of the Quilted Adventure. Also, remember if you want to be a part of the Quilted Adventure this year, you have time to sign up. You can sign up all year long, and the cost is $99. That gives you access to the entire private website every single one of the 12 different projects that you'll get to create from from different instructors.

Access to the live stream videos that I'll be doing every month. We're also doing a mystery quilt for the entire year that I will be hosting as well, so a lot of fun things and a lot of different things that have components of things that we would do at an in-person retreat but you get to do it from the comfort of your own home in your pajamas.

And if you're like me, you're probably quilting late at night anyways, uh so this will be a great time for you to access those video courses now. To sign up for the retreat, I've included a link for you in the description box below. You can click there to sign up, there's also more information there so if you want to see pictures and get more details on all the other projects the instructors will be teaching throughout the year.

I just gave you a quick sneak peek of mine January the Roxy bag that Laura's teaching for February, and there's 10 other projects. So use the link I've included below that will take you to the website, you can find out who else is teaching what projects they'll be teaching and there'll also be the sign up link for you there to take advantage of it.

Now if you're not able to sign up right now, no worries, whenever you do get to sign up throughout this year, you will still have access to all the courses and everything that has been posted since our launch date of tomorrow. All the the uh live streams will be recorded and posted on the website, so if you're unable to access them live you'll still be able to go back and watch the recordings and then all the video courses as well.

So say you sign up in March you will definitely still have access to my January class Laura's February class and so on and so forth for the entire year.
