Greetings from Cathy
(and Caity!)
Welcome to Quilt Beginnings!
It’s hard to believe we will be celebrating our 23rd year in business this month! While this past year has been full of challenges, our business has remained strong because of my dedicated staff and your continued support. Thank you! It is time to officially introduce my daughter, Caity as the newest member of our fantastic team. She rejoined QB full time in 2019 and I’m thrilled to watch her dedication to this business grow. Caity has taken on the role of Operations Manager and is devoted to expanding our online presence to make shopping and learning even easier for you. You can look forward to our new website launch in the next few months. With my exceptional team and the second generation on board, I am joyfully anticipating many more years of running Quilt Beginnings as a family business! Hope to see you again soon! —
Catch us live every Wednesday to hear more about what’s happening at Quilt Beginnings! We love spending time with you every week and sharing new arrivals, product demos, technique tutorials, and more. If you miss us live, you can always rewatch on our YouTube channel.
WHAT’S INSIDE
After a long winter, the sunshine is finally here and with it, lots of opportunities for learning. Most of the classes listed here are inperson offerings, as we believe personal education is what allows you to build not only knowledge, but confidence in your new skills.
You will also find a few video classes, because although our classroom was closed, we couldn’t stop Pam from teaching! We hope you’ll try them out and let us know what you think.
