Ambassador Event with Lynda Jackson - Design Draw Stitch Wholecloth Workshop

Date: Wednesday 4th to Friday 6th September 2024

Venue: Pinhole Quilting Showroom, WR10 2LF

This three day Ambassador Event with Handi Quilter Ambassador and Educator Lynda Jackson will cover:

Day 1 - Thread Play, Feathers and Rulers

Day 2 - Wholecloth Design

Day 3 - We'll put it all together when you'll stitch out your final design

The simplicity of what has been described belies the depth of the teaching and the one-on-one instruction that you'll receive at the Pinhole Quilting Showroom with Handi Quilter Ambassador Lynda Jackson.

Lynda is not just a world-class quilter - she is an excellent teacher who inspires others.  We had many positive comments following the classes she taught at Festival of Quilts, including this one, for example: "I thoroughly enjoyed Lynda’s workshop – she is an inspiring teacher!" (Jenni).

Lynda Jackson was awarded "Best in World" at the Mancuso World Quilt Show in 2018 with her gorgeous quilt "Silver Linings".  You can read more about her many accolades on the Handi Quilter website. Handi Quilter owners will know her as one of the founders and an administrator of Longarm Learning Curve, which is an invaluable resource on Facebook and of her help for the many Handi Quilter owners throughout the world who have joined the group.  Advice and encouragement is freely available as quilters progress in the use of their Handi Quilter Longarm machines.

The cost for this event is  £580

We will have machines in the Handi Quilter range at the Ambassador Event, but we cannot guarantee you will be able to use the same type of machine. For hands-on sessions, wherever possible we will try to match the machine you use to the one that you own.

We are delighted to once again present a premium training opportunity for our customers!
