You’re invited to
Stitch Camp by Handi Quilter!
Join me in Utah, Rockstar, to quilt with confidence!
If you’ve ever finished a quilt top and thought, “Okay… now what?” then this retreat is for you. I’ve worked with thousands of quilters who felt stuck at this exact stage—and watching the moment it clicks for them never gets old.
This fall, I’ll be your headline educator at Handi Quilter Stitch Camp, guiding you step by step as you build real skills and real confidence on your machine.
You won’t just learn new techniques—you’ll learn how to:
make a plan for your quilts
practice in a way that actually works
troubleshoot in real time
and finish your quilts with confidence
Stitch Camp is a creative oasis. This is your opportunity to step out of the busyness of the day to day and finally focus on your quilting. Yes, you can bring any project you want. You can piece, you can make a bag, you can finally bind that quilt.
But my recommendation? Come to quilt.
If you’ve been dreaming of quilting your own projects but struggling to find time to make that dream a reality, THIS is the retreat for you. Over the course of our time together, I will teach a comprehensive introduction to free motion quilting and ruler quilting. And in between lessons, I will be right there with you each step of the way.
Together, we can apply the Confident FMQ Framework in real time so you get unstuck, get quilting, and finally finish that quilt. I can’t wait to offer real time feedback, support, and encouragement as you make your quilting dream a reality and become a confident Quilting Rockstar.
