2017: Studio 180 Academy

The first ever Studio 180 Academy is coming to Hamilton, NY on September 21-23, 2017. What is a Studio 180 Academy? It's three full days of classes from Studio 180 Design Certified Instructors. It's three full days of home cooked meals from the White Eagle Conference Center. It's three full days of pure sewing and learning without having to do any meal preparation or clean up! Classes and Instructors will be announced in October, but check out the schedule and venue now.

 

Upcoming Retreats

Whenever you’re looking for a great quilting retreat, we can always recommend Strong House Inn in Vergennes, Vermont. It’s a great time at a terrific facility. Three of our Certified Instructors will be teaching there this season – Kathie Beltz, Michelle Renee Hiatt, and Jackie O’Brien. Find more information and sign up here.

 

Upcoming Quilt Shows

We've only have three more retail shows scheduled for 2016:

Once those three are done, then it's time to head home and plan our new releases for 2017!
