Groove along with Quiltfolk in 2025 and quilt the decades in our brand-new Block of the Month program. This interactive, nine-month journey will take you through the “greatest hits” of quilting, spanning from the 1930s to today in the US, Great Britain, and beyond.
However, this is no ordinary quilt history experience… Get ready to immerse yourself in powerful patchworks from the thrifty thirties, swinging sixties, experimental eighties, and into the ever-evolving present. Like the chart-topping hits that defined these eras, each patchwork tells its own story of creativity and resilience. Beloved workshop hosts and instructors Jenni Smith and Kay Walsh explore the iconic fabric, designs, techniques, and technology that have shaped quilting’s legacy—all of which will inform the fun stitching challenges you complete each month!
Join us April through December 2025 as we stitch the past and shape the present. Jenni and Kay will guide you through a transformative sewing and learning experience, offering pathways, tools, and lots of encouragement. Every session will be engaging, with lively nods to the cultural “soundtracks” of the times, from fashion and film to the rhythms of music that set the tone for each era. Just think of all the potential fabrics you could include! By the end of the year, you’ll revel in the nostalgia of quilts that shifted the needle, while putting your own spin on time-honored traditions.
