Last Chance to Learn from Bethanne Nemesh
The countdown has begun for the Bethanne Nemesh classes (less than 30 days to go!). I am so excited to have Bethanne in the studio next month. She's such an amazing teacher, and I can't get over how cool it is to have her here in my studio. But I don't bring teachers like Bethanne here for me, I bring them here for you! There are only a few spots remaining in 4 of Bethanne's 5 classes. If you want to take advantage of this opportunity to learn from an amazing quilter and teacher you'll want to register soon, I don't expect those spots to be available for long! Take a look at the detailed class schedule below.
Sept. 21, 9:00am-2:45pm If you would like to be added to the waitlist, please call us at (502) 718-7148. Required $15 kit fee collected in class Learn Bethanne’s award winning “Nemeshing”…a lacy freehand feather flourish in this hands on class! This unique fill has been stopping crowds and pleasing clients and can be used on all types of custom work ranging from simple large scale fills to tiny show winning backgrounds. Learn to blend and repeat the 5 easy shapes and you’ll be using “Nemeshing” on backgrounds, sashing, and borders. While this kind of organic feather spray seems complex, it is actually the easiest feather you will ever learn…as there are no rules…therefore…no stress! Students will share an APQS longarm machine and will have their own space for quilting. All of the skills we’ll be learning in this class can be applied to sit down quilting. If you would like to bring your own domestic machine or sit down George longarm machine for the class, you can take the class for $99. We still have a few spaces left for sit down quilters! Please call us at (502) 718-7148 for more information and to receive the discount.
Sept. 21, 3:30pm-5:30pm Design/Draw Class Required $5 handout fee collected in class Love Feathers? Yes! Frustrated by how time consuming they can be with lots of marking and planning? Learn to feather faster. In this drawing class Bethanne will teach her unmarked, spineless, no backtrack approach, to one-pass feathering on the longarm, perfect for a mid-custom quilt. Learn ten feather shapes that look amazing no matter how high contrast the quilting! Speed up feathering without giving up that feathered look.
Sept. 22, 9:00am-2:45pm Hands on Longarm Quilting Class Required $15 kit fee collected in class Learning to freehand unique quilting motifs to match a quilt’s theme or client’s need is one of the single most freeing things a quilter can do to liberate themselves from patterns, marking, and stress. Bethanne will teach you how to break apart complex shapes, and put them on a spine, much like a feather, in order to greatly expand your freehanding abilities beyond the simple swirls, loops, and feathers that dominate quilting. All motifs are taught very progressively to build your confidence and your muscle memory…so no drawing ability is needed! Leave class confidently quilting everything from oak leaves and flowers to baby rattles and ribbons.Students will share an APQS longarm machine and will have their own space for quilting.

Bethanne will share her popular mid-custom technique of eliminating back tracking in quilting and the majority of stitch in the ditch while combining piecing elements to create dramatic secondary designs to unify samplers (or any block quilt). Don’t sacrifice the “WOW” factor of custom…but DO give up full custom’s time commitment!
Sept. 23, 9am-4pm Hands On Domestic Machine Quilting Workshop Required $20 kit fee collected in class Sometimes the difference between a show quilt and an AWARD WINNING show quilt is in the details.
