One of my goals I stated for 2015 was to seek out new teaching venues. I am excited that my first national teaching event of the year will be a week-long class at the John C. Campbell Folkschool in Brasstown, North Carolina. Click here to register and come join the fun!
The accommodations at the Folkschool are just lovely!
From March 8-14, 2015, I will be teaching “How to Make a Modern Quilt” featuring my Modern Logs pattern and I couldn’t be more thrilled! In this intimate setting, I’m going to walk you through the entire process of making a quilt from start to finish, including cutting, piecing, basting, machine quilting and binding. How fun will it be to get away for a week, enjoy some beautiful mountain views, and come back with a finished project?
How to Make a Modern Quilt featuring Modern Logs
I have to honestly say that I’d never heard of the Folkschool until they contacted me earlier in the year inviting me to teach. When I took at look at their website, read through their rich history (the school has been around since 1925!), and checked out their accommodations, it was easy to yes!
In addition to year-round classes with different instructors every week, the Folkschool features community events, craft auctions and a number of different festivals. It really is a community unto itself!
Arts & crafts, music and dancing are all to be had at the Folkschool!
So here is the deal with registration: sign up for the week long class and pay your deposit which will hold your seat in class. Then select your choice of lodging and meal packages to fit your budget. For example, my class runs the entire week with orientation beginning on Sunday evening, 5 full days of instruction (Mon-Fri), and a show ‘n tell presentation on Saturday before everyone leaves.
It is a big chunk of change since it’s a week-long event, but compared to the daily rate of other venues I’ve attended it’s quite a bargain. The total instructional time with me is 30 hours and the class sizes are very limited so it’s going to be quite the experience! It makes me giddy thinking how awesome it will be to make new friends and spend an entire week with them focusing on nothing but quilting. I’m also looking forward to evening strolls and early morning walks before class!
I can’t wait to experience those views!!
So if you are even thinking about it, I encourage you to sign up now. Tell your loved ones you’ve been good this year and that this would make the perfect holiday gift. 🙂

You’re going to LOVE it! My mother teaches there pretty regularly (she’s a writing instructor) and most of my family has taken classes there. Have a GREAT time!
Wow! That is going to be fabulous!!! Enjoy yourself and drink it all in. Lucky students!!!
What a fantastic setting to be able to teach at!
Oh, I wish I could go!! But there is no way I could swing the money. Such a beautiful location!
It’s a beautiful area and I’ve checked out a few of their classes online. Since my kids are still so young, a week away isn’t going to happen but there are days……tempting, very tempting!
I’m registered and lookng forward to this so much!
Oh I so want to go! My husband’s grandfather helped design and build several of the buildings on campus and his family has a history with Brasstown. Spending a week there is on my bucket list! But not this year I don’t think- already going to Europe this summer! I hope you will teach there again some day!
Looks lovely, how exciting Christa!
I love North Carolina!
