ADVENTURES IN QUILTING

A Unique Quilting Spirit
How many have a Qube on the shelf that has never been opened? Don't know how to use it? Have no idea what the Accuquilt Qube can do?
My Accuquilt students back in 2019 confessed they had never opened their Accuquilt Qube. I then created the Mystery Build-a-Quilt Block of the Month class online. Now each quilter can experience the power of the Qube for nine months in a virtual quilting bee. The learning and camaraderie is awesome. That spirit and the quilting bee atmosphere spills over into all our classes. Do check them out by clicking here or scroll down for additional links.

August Virtual Quilt Show
This Virtual Quilt Show celebrates quilters from the Accuquilt Learning and Support Facebook page and is possible with thank yous to the Aurora Sewing Center in Buffalo, New York.
Last spring, we presented a challenge to quilters on the Accuquilt Learning and Support Facebook page: to complete a quilt by August and share it in this virtual show.
Many of us with piles of UFOs are more apt to complete a quilt when there is a deadline. August 31st was our deadline. Please enjoy the results. With a standing ovation, I invite you to applaud our quilters. Walk through the virtual aisles and then celebrate with fireworks at the end. This is a quilting adventure. QUILT SHOW
