Join the Dogwood Blossoms Quilt-A-Long!
June 24- August 14, 2024
Dogwood Blossoms is a bold, block-based quilt. This pattern comes together quickly, but it’s the perfect opportunity to teach each of these triangle-based units, so we’re going to take our time and go week by week through them.

Meet HollyAnne Knight
While HollyAnne's first exposure to machine sewing was at the young age of 8, but she began sewing seriously in her 20s. She began with a tshirt quilt for her Mama, and now she loves sewing quilts and garments, and she is passionate about providing encouraging, high-quality in-person classes and digital education.
HollyAnne's mission is to guide more folks around the world to stitch with confidence rather than being afraid they will "mess up" their quilt or garment.
