OH MY STARS! CLASSES AVAILABLE

 

I love this quilt. Oh My Stars had been saved on my Pinterest board for quite awhile. Last year, looking for a new project, I found it and sent for the pattern. 

My version:

The pattern version:

As usual, I have written a detailed supplement of instructions for students. These are often described by students as "worth the price of admission". 

NOW IS THE TIME TO REGISTER FOR EMPTY SPOOLS SEMINARS 2026! I will be teaching this as a 5 day Seminar there at SESSION 5, April 30-May 4, 2026. Registration opened Saturday April 26, 2025, 10 am PST. Classes fill up FAST so don't delay. If you are flying to Monterey, and need to rent a Bernina sewing machine for your use all  week, DON'T DELAY. There are a limited number of machines available for rent. Students have come from all over the country: Hawaii, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and all the western states. Ten teachers each Session make for lots of happy students.

This is one of the best quilting experiences you can have. Read my previous posts about the MAGICAL EXPERIENCE Empty Spools Seminars truly is:

WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND

MY 2025 EXPERIENCE

OH MY STARS will teach you a LOT! 

    How to improve your  precision piecing

    How to make 45 degree angle seams meet every time

    How to sew Y-seams

    How to avoid Y-seams

    How to make perfect small flying geese for the sashing Stars

    How to avoid flying geese and make Floating Stars

    How to make pieced borders really FIT

    And just about everything else I know and have learned in more than 40 years of quilt making.

LOCALS:  you have ONE chance to take this class at home. Friday and Saturday June 27-28, 2025 at SOUTHERN CHARM QUILTING. Register today if you want to be included. (NOTE:  the supplemental handout fee is $10, payable directly to me in class.)  Out-of-towners are welcome, Spring Hill Suites hotel nearby is great place to stay.  This is the only local class I am offering this year. 

If you can't make either of these classes you have ONE MORE CHANCE: International Quilt Festival in Houston, Thursday October 9, 2025, 9-5. Enrollment for this class opens in early summer and I do expect it to fill quickly. 

Join me for a fun, full, rewarding class as you add so many tools to your quiltmaking toolbox.

Let's quilt.
