Dear friend of KISSed Quilts,
I ended February and started March at the Sew Expo in Puyallup with seven different classes! What a whirlwind! Grateful for Nancy Cargo who shared several AnglePlay quilts and helped me get forgotten items before they were needed. Met wonderful people and loved the light bulb moments as new techniques were learned. Thank you to all who took a class from me. I look forward to working with you on future projects. Here are a few pictures from the classes.
Beginning Quilt Making - starting with my co-authored book. Note just a couple of copies are left before I go for a reprint. Prices will be going up.
2nd image is the trunkshow all packed up!
 
Custom curated/cut for each recipient that responded to the request. 
AnglePlay -- Basic, Advanced, and the trunkshow packed up
Each registrant who contacted me ahead of time (requested) was able to provide color choices so I could custom curate and cut fabrics for them to work with.
 
 
Advanced
Note several Set 2's (both original and EeziGrip styles) and one Set 5 is available.
Rainbow Diamonds Runner
 
Kits available.
Dark Side of the Moon or Principle of Refraction

Quilt-a-long from Patterns by Jen - 2024 Monthly Color Challenge
 I am the featured blogger this month, so please follow along. Get a free 12" block each month. I plan to post the block I make each month and then will show the setting at the end of the year. If interested in a bundle of fabrics that will work (moda Grunge or Northcott Toscana) --just respond to this email and we'll get it put together. There are options to consider -- light/dark color blocks or a single background and color for each block. Her color inspiration this year is tropical fish like seen in this picture. All but one block will work with 1/4 yd for each color. So, let's discuss your thoughts and I can put together just the right bundle of fabric for you.
