Kackling Kousins Start 2026 at Hoovers

On Monday, January 19, 2026 the Kackling Kousins offered their first classes of the new year at Hoovers.  The Eli's Kitchen Block-of-the-Month group met to complete their 7th and 8th blocks of the series.  In March we will take some photos so that you can see their progress to date.

On Tuesday, January 20, 2026, The Kousins offered the Quilt-As-You-Go Civil War Style class.  The students in attendance were very successful with their two- and three-block creations.  Take a look for yourself.

NOTE:  The Kackling Kousins will not be at Hoovers in February.  The classroom will be under construction to add the new addition.  We will return on Monday, March 16 for Blocks 9 and 10 of Eli's Kitchen; and on Tuesday, March 17 with another offering of Machine Quilting with Rulers.





A photo of Lorna's final three blocks were sent to us to share.  It is beautiful!
