Welcome to QuiltCon 2026!
Quilted fabric postcards are a fantastic way to use scraps, try new techniques, experiment with color and thread…and bring a smile to family and friends around the globe.
The workshop will cover my process for making quilted fabric postcards, discuss different batting, interfacing, and backing material options, and demonstrate multiple finishing techniques.
I will also share tips and tricks I have learned while making over 200 postcards (so far). All students can expect to finish at least 1-2 postcards, and leave with the skills to make many more!
Kits
Kits are optional, however, this is a great way to make sure you have exactly what you need for class. Kits are $15 and include everything you need except fabric and thread. Use coupon code QC2026 to receive free ground shipping.
The deadline to order a kit is Wednesday, Ferbruary 4, 2026. If you miss this deadline, I will have a limited amount of supplies available for purchase in class, but I cannot guarantee enough for everyone.
