Improv Quilting
Fear-Less Improv Quilt Making
Learn how to create your own hand-stitched quilt using improvisational techniques — working with colour, texture and composition in a slow and intuitive way.
This is not traditional quilting. You won’t follow someone else’s design. You’ll create your own piece of textile art.
Improv PDF Quilt Patterns
These process patterns are a merge of step-by-step how to pattern and an improvisational way of working. They’re designed as a guide to help you see how one block design can become many different quilts with just a few changes. And by going with the flow rather than being stuck in needing to copy the pattern piece by exact piece.

Essential tools, courses, and workbooks for small business
Creative Connect - The Art of Newsletters
As a small business owner for over 18 years, I’ve found that newsletters are my number 1 tool for connecting and selling online.
I’ve had sold-out in-person workshops, successful online course launches, product releases that ended up with waitlists, run a successful online membership, and continue to run my business from my humble little home in the forest.
The power of newsletters for your own business is often ignored, but truly if you only do one thing each month this is what I recommend. My courses teaches you how to start and set up your newsletter, how to choose the right platform, and how to send regular newsletter that connect and convert.
