Education Around the Block with the Baby Lock Educators

I am so excited to be a part of the Baby Lock Educators and our Education Around the Block virtual event from January 15-30th!

Each Educator will share their own personal interpretation of the Row House Tote pattern from Windham Fabrics by LJ Simon, available for free here: https://bit.ly/4aJGDDW

I get to kick things off this Monday, January 15th, at 7 pm Central, in my Linda Bratten Creations Facebook Page, Click here to go there.

During that live, I will share how I added decorative stitches to create my Charming Coastal Row Houses.

Here is a quick tour of my Charming Coastal Block.

If you need some assistance in creating your Row House Blocks, check out my live from last week where I share my hints and tips to piecing the Row House blocks. Click here to go to the live in the Linda Bratten Creations Facebook Page.

Virtual Learning Opportunities

 Hello Creatives,

I wanted to remind you of some upcoming virtual learning opportunities. On January 30th at 1pm Central Time, I will be presenting the Anytime Table Runner virtual class. 

This is a great opportunity to learn more about using thick threads in your serger and learning how to create a fun and versatile table runner.  In addition, I will share why quilters want a serger in their studio.

Then on February 20th at 1 pm Central Time, I will go live with my Quilting on the Edge program.  

This features how to use the Baby Lock/Westalee Exclusive Ruler set.  I also share the basics of using rulers.  Participants will then be able to create the two blocks that are featured in the virtual class.

Both classes are being hosted by Quilt 4U, the Baby Lock dealer in Columbia, MO.  You can sign up for the events by going to their website: www.Quilt4U.com.

I hope to see you there! 

Did you catch it?

On July 1st Denise Schober, National Quilting Educator for Baby Lock interviewed me on the Baby Lock Longarm Quilting Community Facebook Group.  We talked a bit about my sewing/quilting background.  Then we shared hints and tips for free-motion quilting.  The interview was a Facebook Live post and you may have to belong to the group to see it.  

But here is the link to the group for those with an interest in longarm quilting!

Baby Lock Education Team

I am thrilled to share with you that I have recently accepted a position as a Baby Lock Educator.  What does that exactly mean?  Well I get to create with fantastic machines that I adore!  Working with other great and  creative individuals is also a plus.   Finally, I get to create fun projects that feature Baby Lock's  machine accessories and features.  

 I began teaching in my local Baby Lock dealership in 2008, that has given me plenty of time to explore the products and get to know the company.  Is it obvious that I fell in love with the Baby Lock line up of machines and products?

Look for more posts about my Triumph, Crescendo, and Sashiko machines in the future!
Off to start working with those wonderful machines!!!
