Hang Quilts with Confidence

Do your guild members ask questions like:

  • What is the best way to hang a quilt? or
  • How else can I hang a quilt besides a sleeve?

If you’re hearing questions like this, your guild needs Hang Quilts with Confidence, an interactive lecture where guild members are invited and encouraged to plan a quilt hanging system while they learn multiple ways to hang and display quilts and other quilting projects. 

After participating in Hang Quilts with Confidence, your guild members will walk away with the knowledge of how to successfully hang quilts of all sizes and have a plan of action for one of their own quilts.

What participants are saying about the Hang Quilts with Confidence presentation:

If you thought you knew everything about hanging a quilt…you were wrong! Great tips on various ways, and for various quilts, and how to hang them all. Nicki is easy to listen to and she clearly knows her stuff!
Terri S. Purple Moose Designs
Informative, friendly, direct, easy to follow and understand. I have a clearer idea of the great variety of ways that can be used to hang quilts and which methods are best in different situations. Nicki clearly explained the importance of utilizing the correct materials and methods for hanging your quilts for the best results for appearance as well as the integrity of the quilt.
Karen H.
I learned different and unique ways to hang quilts that I didn’t know before.  Very helpful! Nicki is very clear with her presenting.  She is knowledgeable and friendly.
Lindsay M.
A lively presentation with lots of information and referenced information. 
Nancy A.Campbell River Friendship Quilt Guild
I found the presenter’s style to be very interactive. She encouraged the class to engage and consider how the information could directly help them while the information was being presented. She also would pause after each section to address any comments or questions.
Courtney F.
For the first time I really gave thought to how I would hang my quilts.  Nicki’s presentation is informative, logical and well-illustrated.
WilmaGood Hope Quilters Guild (in South Africa)
The presentation gave me more ideas on how I can hang my quilts from the rod system, to how to anchor the rod, and what style I want the fabric to be. You can tell Nicki is a very good teacher.  She presents information clearly and in a logical order so it is easy to follow along with her presentation.
Melanie
Very informative and knowledgeable. I was not aware of the variety and ease of various systems – sure beats a nail in the wall!
Lana
I appreciated learning multiple choices for hanging quilts as I only knew about the 2” sleeve before this presentation. Nicki is very clear and professional in her presentational style. 
HelenCanyon Quilters
Nicki’s teaching style is straightforward, step-by-step, and thorough.  Each step builds up to the next, completing each lesson, and finally reviewing the steps all together to ensure the total project is learned.
Deb B.
The best style of teaching I have seen in a long time. Great work.

Sew Many Letters

Lots of love, energy, time, and thought go into the making of quilting projects.

But do you know what can make these handmade creations even more special?

Adding a name, word, or a message that inspires, motivates, or establishes a connection to the quilter or recipient can take a beautifully made quilting project and elevate it to extraordinary.

That’s why I created Sew Many Letters. This live virtual program celebrates the power of words and provides information on the tools and techniques needed to personalize any quilting or sewing project.

Sew Many Letters is a lecture/demonstration that has two parts:

In the first part of Sew Many Letters, guild members watch a demonstration on a process for resizing letter templates so they are the right size for a project.

During the second part of Sew Many Letters, quilters see the basic steps and techniques on how to use hand applique with freezer paper to attach the letters to a quilt or other sewing project.

The Sew Many Letters quilt guild program is based on an on-demand digital course with the same name.

Because there won’t be enough time for guild members to practice what they see during the Sew Many Letters demonstrations, after the lecture each member will receive access to the Sew Many Letters on-demand digital course for a limited time at no cost.

This access will give guild members who are interested the opportunity to practice what was demonstrated during the lecture and go through the process on their own for resizing letter templates and using hand applique with freezer paper to attach the letters to a project.

BONUS: Before the free limited-time access is up, guild members will have the option to individually purchase the Sew Many Letters on-demand course at a special price for their own personal use.
