Karlee Porter is a creative quilter who loves everything about what is possible with this art form. In addition to valuing traditional approaches, Karlee has also developed brand new techniques and shares her skills and talents through workshops, online classes, quilting patterns, and her own book series.

She invented graffiti quilting, a free motion quilting method where you take many different elements and motifs and combine them together into one unified quilt. This year is the 10th anniversary of her first Graffiti Quilting book being published and she’s celebrating by creating a new, expanded edition to share her latest ideas and designs.

Amber Johnson from Gigi’s Thimble a great inspiration and teacher of her Positive Vibes pattern. She also shared tips and tricks for selecting low volume prints. Did you know…there aren’t quilt police? We can abandon our preconceived notions and use what we have and what we like. What a concept, right??!!

This may be a messy representation, but we made A LOT of “Positive Vibes” blocks. This isn’t even ALL that were completed…as we ran out of room on the design wall. Several baby size quilts were finished…many tips and tricks shared, AND a good time was had by all.

The Wayfinder quilt represents the idea that, in a broad sense, we never really “arrive”; we are always navigating and re-orienting ourselves toward new directions. With this in mind, the design seeks to remind us to live in and appreciate each point on this long, winding path – not just the destination.

• Skill Level: Confident Beginner – This pattern involves half rectangle triangles (HRTs), and explicit instructions are included so that any HRT first-timer can create with ease.

• Instructions for Mini, Baby, Throw, Twin, Queen & King sizes included

• Instructions for a Five-Color variation + three different fat quarter friendly scrappy variations

• Instructions for two different block layouts for completely different looks

• Yardage width-of-fabric & fat quarter cutting diagrams help with efficient cutting and get you sewing sooner

• Coloring sheet to help get you started, with sample mockups for inspiration

We are thrilled to announce our challenge quilt for the year: TRAVERSE!! This vibrant quilt will give us plenty of opportunity to fine tune our quilting skills as we focus on new techniques with each row.

For 2022, we selected Youth Futures as our charity project. We completed and donated 22 quilts to our this St. George home. Youth Futures provides safe shelter, collaborative resources, respectful guidance and diverse support to homeless, unaccompanied, runaway and at-risk youth. They provide overnight shelter, drop-in services, street outreach, and so much more. It was our pleasure to share with this amazing resource to local youth.

So many great patchwork duffles! As always, Kaitlyn was an exceptional teacher and we had an amazing class!

You won’t want to miss out on our Fall Retreat and Sew Day, October 14-15.  Friday morning at 10am, we’ll start by making the Patchwork Duffle by Knot + Thread Designs.  The spectacular Kaitlyn Howell is scheduled to teach her amazing bag…so we will be getting all the tips and tricks straight from the designer extraordinaire herself.   She always has the best techniques to instill confidence in bag making.  Such a wealth of information and inspiration.  We are thrilled she can join us!!  Afterwards, we will have open sew time for all your many works in progress.  Saturday will be our regular guild “Saturday Sew”…but with extra time, extra treats and fun!  Class fee includes pattern.  For inspiration, check out the Instagram #patchworkduffle.
