Be a Part of Something Extraordinary!

Here's why being a guild member matters:

You are one of the quilters who sees the potential in this community, are excited about it, and want to grow along with it. You don't just want to dip your feet in: You're ready to dive in head first, connect with other like-minded quilters, grow your skills, and turn this into something amazing!

By committing to the full year up front, you're telling me that you're as excited about this as I am.

And the best part? So are the others members of this guild!

And that is what makes this community extraordinary!

The idea started with you...

Maybe you've joined me for my Night Owl Hangout sessions on YouTube Live, maybe you've been a part of my beginner quilting course with live Zoom group chats, or maybe you've just followed me on YouTube. 

In this last year since starting Joyful and Merry Quilting, I've realized...I love the sense of friendship and community that is continuing to grow as we all develop our skills together, share our successes and failures, and learn from each other.

In early March, my first group of students wrapped up their 8 week journey in my Ultimate Quilting Foundation Beginner Course, and the second group started. It quickly became clear to me how valuable it was for all of us to connect on a personal level. Our live Zoom group chats, personal communications discussing questions, tips, tools, quilting successes, and more...

It was wonderful! It felt a bit like a virtual quilt guild, and it and it got me thinking...

Why not create a virtual quilt guild?

There could be so much more to it than live Zoom group chats. We could do trainings, quilt alongs, exclusive free patterns, guest speakers,  exclusive discounts, community chats, and more!

Many of you have shared with me your concerns or holdups about joining a typical quilt guild:

• You don't have one nearby
• You feel uneasy about your skill level
• You are unable to physically travel to guild meetings
• You've felt belittled or offended by more experienced quilters

I completely understand, and the list goes on. I've been there: I've poured my heart and soul into quilting project, only to have someone criticize it when I didn't even ask.

I've felt embarrassed and out of place in front of experienced quilters who almost seem to resent me for being newer to the craft, or for not knowing as much as they do.

I also understand how hard or stressful it can be to make it to meetings, especially if they aren't close by.

Sometimes, it's just too much of a hassle...

So here's what we do:

Let's create a positive, joyful and merry community together!

I'll create exclusive quilt patterns throughout year, with quilt-alongs included.

I'll provide you with monthly trainings to expand your knowledge and sharpen your skills. You'll have access to me to ask me your questions, share your own ideas, or let me know what else you'd like to learn about.

I'll bring in some great guest speakers and instructors throughout the year to share their expertise with you.

I'll provide you with exclusive discounts on some of my own products and other stores that you're going to love - and you can save on essential quilting items.

We'll meet together live on Zoom! Unlike our YouTube broadcasts (which I still love), we'll even get to see each other's faces (if you want to turn your camera on...you're also more than welcome to simply observe!). We can ask each other questions, share ideas, do show and tell, and so much more. 

But most importantly...

This is a community where we all learn from each other, support each other, and lift each other up (side note: no quilt police allowed!). And because of that, the most exciting aspect of the guild is that it becomes what we want it to become. 

As you know, my mind has been flooding with ideas on how to make this group extraordinary, and I've shared a lot of my ideas above.

But that doesn't mean it ends there. I need you! As we move forward on this journey together, I'll learn from you, you'll learn from me, and we'll all learn from each other - and as we discuss and share ideas, this guild will really turn into something special.

We will all become builders of a Joyful and Merry Quilting community!

And who knows? Maybe this doesn't have to stay 100% virtual all year...

Become a guild member and be a part of something incredible!

I'm all ears...if you have anything you'd like to share with me, send it over to [email protected], and in the meantime, get on our waiting list below. 

You won't see this deal again...and you don't want to miss out!
