Quilters Complete Kackling Kousins Published Patterns

Don't blink because the summer is passing us by!

In June 2025, the Kackling Kousins offered two classes on the patterns that they published:  1) Vintage Mini Dresdens, and 2) Mini Dresden Notebook Cover.  The classes were so exciting as the quilters learned new techniques and brought to life these projects we created.  Take a look for yourself, we had a great two days!

Tales of the First Ladies BMO Complete

On Monday, May 19, 2025, the quilters at Hoovers completed Eleanor Burns' Tales of the First Ladies Quilt. Offering this class as a two block-a-month series gave everyone an opportunity to learn new techniques and get to know others who have the same passion for quilting.  What a great group of creative ladies. The block variations were amazing.  Take a look for yourself.

We also had several beautiful show-and-tell projects that were shared!

It Followed Me Home From Spring Fling . . .

Hoovers' Spring Fling was wonderful!  If you haven't attended one of these events, treat yourself.  There are three fun-filled days of shopping, giveaways, door prizes, and the opportunity to learn from famous educators.

The Kackling Kousins were busy helping Amanda Murphy, Bernina Expert and Quilting Longarm Spokesperson; and Connie Flanders, Retired Director of Education and Training at Bernina of America, at the Spring Fling events.

The Kousins were wondering how many women and/or men went home from Spring Fling and told this story to their significant other:
