LECTURES

Mind-boggling creativity combined with a collection of enthusiastic students makes for some amazing final projects! Join in the fun as we reveal the work of our three Progressive Class teachers. Being tasked with designing three separate mystery project classes that could each stand alone or be combined was no small feat for Charlotte Angotti, Kimberly Einmo, and Karen K. Stone—but they exceeded our wildest expectations! Hear from each of these talented teachers as they describe this unique collaborative effort and reveal each of their personal versions of a final quilt top using blocks from all three class projects. You do not need to have taken a Progressive Class to come marvel at the results.***

Celebrating 15 years of quilt studio organizing by bringing you a collection of organizing success stories. From closet sized rooms to full quilting cottages, our creative spaces reflect our personalities and unique creative thinking. Cottage business owners like machine quilters, pattern designers, teachers, and Craftsy sellers fit their workspaces and inventory into spare bedrooms, living rooms, and even garages. Quilters and sewists pivoted during Covid contractions and show just how flexible, stocked, and well positioned we are to create together via Zoom, FaceTime, Facebook live and other social media platforms. Learn how many creative people reinvented and reorganized to create their perfect quilting space! Check out my website at www.clearview-designs.com for more information.***
