Classes and Inspiration

My mother and I had a great time together in Houston for the International Quilt Festival last month! I got some very fun projects and a new quilting frame that I will share about soon. Since our return, I've gotten back into the Stitch School Fall Session and have been working hard to finish a quilt that I took over hand quilting a few years ago. More on that as I finish.

Stacked Up Pillow: Level 1 Sewing

Classes

Introductory Class

at Warman Cozy

The next Introductory Class for kids (8+) and teens is on November 22, 2025 from 1:30-3:30pm.

A great stand alone for someone who needs to get a little more familiar with their sewing machine or anyone who wants to join our continual sewing program, Stitch School.

This is the last class currently scheduled before we release our Winter Stitch School Session for January, so make sure to sign up if you want to get your child registered for Stitch School!

Stitch School Christmas Event

December will be full of some fun- a Stitch School Christmas Event on December 20th. Save the date and I'll send out some more info in the next email! This will be open to past & current students and will feature a make and take for new students as well!

Perfect Way to Finish Embroidery Projects:

I've been sharing about Hand Embroidery and having so much fun with classes for kids and adults. Here is a fun tutorial highlighting hand embroidered fabric!

I have another Hand Embroidery Beginner Class at Warman Cozy this coming weekend and I'll be sharing another project for using your finished hand embroidered, embellished fabric!

Until then, stay warm <3 Kate
