Spring 2024 Has Definitely Sprung

It is hard to believe that Memorial Day 2024 is this weekend.  Words cannot express how busy The Kousins have been since Hoover's Spring Fling 2024.  Instead of describing our activities, we decided to visually show you thru photos!  


The Kackling Kousins

Hoover's Spring Fling 2024 - Evening Workshop -- Mini Dresden Snack Mat - Written and published by Kackling Kousins Quilting (this is our first published pattern which includes an acrylic template)!  So much fun was had by all.



  



THE KOUSINS were then off to Wikes-Barre, PA to present the "Quilt-As-You-Go Civil War Style" lecture (Monday evening) to the PA Quilters Association (Facebook Group - Pennsylvania Quilters)!  What a great group.


   

  



THE KOUSINS then returned to Wilkes-Barre to hold a workshop (Saturday) on the "Cathedral Window Table Mat" for the Pennsylvania Quilters Association.  We had a great day and were excited that we could teach, talk and laugh with those in attendance.


   

    







THE KOUSINS returned to Hoovers on Monday, May 20, 2024 to teach the last "Egg Money by Eleanor Burns" Block-of-the-Month class.  Stay tuned for our June post when we highlight each students' blocks at a "Finishing Class for Egg Money" to be held on June 18, 2024.

THE KOUSINS taught another class at Hoovers on Tuesday, May 21, 2024.  The "Cathedral Window Table Mat" has become very popular among quilters.  When you attend this five-hour class, you go home with a completed table mat.  Take a look at some of the finished mats.






  


THE KOUSINS will be at Hoover's on Tuesday, June 19, 2024 to teach "Machine Quilting with Rulers."  There are still seats available for this class.  If you have any interest in quilting with rulers, this is a great class to test drive a number of Amanda Murphy rulers.
