Double Wedding Ring Quilt Pattern

Double Wedding Ring Quilt Pattern
by Kathy Hansen of Quilting Weekly 

Our first addition of 2010 teacher Kathy Hansen, has just put the finishing touches on her first class for Quilting Weekly.  We are so excited to be able to finally announce her class!
 

Double Wedding Ring Quilts are so romantic and are quilts of great comfort and joy.  Many of us can relate personally to these quilts as they are quilts we grew up with which were made by our mothers or grandmothers.  Who knows you might have even received one on your wedding day!

Either way, these are time honored traditional quilts that become family heirlooms.  Isn't it about time you learn how to make one of you own to pass onto your children?

Many of the more adventurous quilters might choose to make this pattern using pieced rings, (which is traditionally how it is made) but as you can see in this photo, Kathy works with solid rings making this the perfect Double Wedding Ring Quilt Pattern to start with.

This pattern will release the first week of February, so if you are not a member at Quilting Weekly you will not be able to purchase this class or get notice of when registrations will start.  I suggest you fill in the form at the top of the page so that you don't miss out on this or any of our other new classes/patterns/and workshops.

Update:     The Double Wedding Ring Quilt Pattern released today, February 3, 2010. Registration has started! Be sure to pick up your copy.

New Teachers Pages Have Been Added as well.
I just wanted to let you know we have added 3 new teachers pages to the site, so that you can get to know more about them before their classes or workshops open up.

Quilt Teachers Needed!!

Yes it has been some time since I posted something of value here I know. This blog was supposed to be dedicated to teaching quilting, and providing you with some important and helpful links and resources.

I have been preoccupied lately with finding teachers for my website. It has become all consuming for me. Posting ads on various sites, finding teachers websites and contacting them, talking with quilters where ever I go. It is never ending! And I still am no where near my goal. So of course that means I must continue the hunt. I figure it is like anything it is a numbers game. Ask enough people, and I will get the results I want.

So that is what I am doing today. Posting another ad. Asking if you know anyone who has a passion for quilting, and would like to earn some money teaching classes on my website?

If you want to know more about this opportunity, then please send me your information and questions to my e-mail.

Thank you
