Attention Quilters! - At Last, Answers to Your How to Quilt Questions When You Need Them, From Quilters Who Are Happy to Share their Secrets

We've all been there - learning how to make a quilt.

Those of us who are really fortunate had someone to show us their techniques and shortcuts.

Others just figured it out for themselves, spending valuable time and energy, experiencing frustration, and totally wasting fabric and money!

Now there is a better way!

TheQuiltingCoach.com provides answers to your quilting questions; tips, techniques and shortcuts to make your quilting fun and easy; quilt block patterns with step-by-step instructions (including photographs of what to do); quilting projects; and tons more.

Beginning Quilters or more experienced quilters, we're anxious to have you join our community!

Our Online Classes have begun! Our first class is a Quick and Easy Baby Quilt. Using the speed techniques you will learn in the class, you can easily finish this quilt in less than a weekend.

Once you register, you will have access to the class materials for 14 days.

The class materials include video as well as some printed handouts. In addition, there will be scheduled times to chat with Penny online.

And, of course, our Discussion Forum will be helpful in getting the quilt complete.

Here's what our members are saying ...
"Find this is such an informative site"
Lucy

"Hi, Penny I love this site! All the fabulous info in it is just what I need. I'm a newbie to quilting; but have done a lot of sewing for myself and my kids over the years. Now I've decided to tackle quilting..."

"Thanks for all the great info I have had access to since I joined this site. I love it!"
Anna


"Penny, bless your heart for helping turn the light on over my head on how to become more efficient at this new love of mine!"
Patty


"When I have been having problems getting in the mood to work on my quilts that I am committed to finishing by August I just have to check in at the quilting site and I'm back in the mood. It has been wonderful."

"I have recently discontinued my membership, but strongly feel the need to say that you have certainly had a huge influence on my life. Your internet quilting club has given me wings as a quilter. The reason I am discontinuing my membership isn’t because I am not satisfied with what I’ve gained from it, it’s because I’ve got so much to do – it will take me more than two years to complete it all. (I’m a slow quilter ok!) I have not got so many UFO’s (trust me, there are a few hidden safely away!) as that I have WDHT’s (wanna-do-haven’t-had-time’s).

Thank you Penny – your inspiration has been much appreciated.

Regards,"

Dorothy, Durbanville, South Africa
