Sneak Peek - NEW ONLINE CLASS - "Mi Cabina" |
The secret is out! Are you looking for a fun short-term project? Would you like to see the simple tricks Ricky uses to be efficient with his quilting process? This is a heads up for what is coming next month and you are the first to know! Ricky is rolling out a new, three-week online class that begins March 26, 2016 and who doesn't want to take a class from the comfort of your own quilting studio? While Ricky's Mi Cabina is a fun and simple project, it offers a multitude of settings and appliqué options. With so many possibilities you can make it your own and Ricky will show you how! The project will be presented in two colorways. The Carnival Calypso colorway features the bright colors of the original quilt (see pattern cover). However, in the online class, Ricky will be using an earthy color palate called Desert Fantasy (see below). Both color options will be available soon so you can pre-purchase the hand-dyed fabric kits and have them in hand before the class begins. Of course, you can use your own fabric stash too. This class will be an interactive class so you can do it right along with Ricky. You can also submit questions along the way if you are stuck or need guidance. And you can interact with others who are participating in the class. By following along with Ricky you will easily finish the quilt top during the three weeks that the class is being presented.

Portland OR Super Quilt Seminar |
It's almost here! The Ricky Tims Super Quilt Seminar, presented by Ricky Tims and special guest teacher, Alex Anderson, is coming to Portland, Oregon Thursday, March 31 through Saturday, April 2, 2016. There is still time to register, but don't delay - the final registration deadline on March 22nd is quickly approaching! Step up your game! Be a better quilter, a more efficient quilter, and a more knowledgeable quilter. The seminar is a rich experience for all quilters - from novice to experienced quilters - and from traditional to art quilters. In two and a half days Ricky Tims inspires quilters with techniques, projects, and can-do encouragement! You will get the equivalent of 18.5 days of content-rich sewing classes condensed into a 2.5 day seminar! How? By learning - not sewing!
“The seminar was greater than any of us could imagine, and the girls from my bee all shared the same sentiment. Your 'smoke and mirrors' techniques were great, and your talents are so inspiring. It was amazing to see how extensive the breadth and depth of your abilities across the artistic world of music, photograph, quilting, and technology are, from the 3 days we were together. And if you weren't such a gifted speaker and teacher, we would never have gotten a glimpse of all that. Thank you so much for all your efforts... for making this possible for so many of us.” — C. Donn, Florida |
