Welcome to the first Tour de Fabric!

 

My name is Bea (pronounced bee) and I am your host here at Quilt n Learn.

You may have attended one of my previous events - QUILT2024 or Summer Camp - but the Tour de Fabric is different. Longer, larger and even better than our previous events!

This page will introduce you to what is going on, but we also have some live introduction sessions where you can ask questions. Look out for our live events starting in the third week of June.

The Overall Structure

  • Registration opens on June 1st. Anyone worldwide can register for FREE! It's really important to me that there are no financial barriers to taking part. 
  • The workshops all go live on July 1st, and remain live until August 3rd. Feedback from past events said that people wanted longer to watch - and here it is!
  • Most teachers have a "freebie" for you to download and enjoy. Explore the Teacher Pages to find them all. 
  • You can register for a Quiltalong at any time. You'll find all the details on this page
  • Registered attendees can also use our private, off-facebook community to share and chat. Information about this is here.
  • Just like the Tour de France, the Tour de Fabric has a leaderboard - you'll find it in the Community. If you enjoy friendly competition and completing challenges then I've got good news for you - there is a prize that will be awarded on August 3rd to the top scorer. I could have gone with a yellow jersey but instead we have the amazing trophy below - and yes! The scissors work!
  • Not interested in the leaderboard? That's not a problem. You can just ignore that part of things and enjoy everything else going on. 

The Challenges

  • The workshops go live on July 1, and each Teacher has set you all a challenge! It might be to show a work in progress or to select a fabric that meets a specific criteria. You'll be able to post in the Community to "complete" the challenge, or purely to share and see what others have posted. Completing a challenge is one way of getting points for the leaderboard!
  • Before the workshops go live, I've set up a few simple challenges to get us all started, such as introducing yourself. It's a fun way to get to meet and find out about new quilters. Pop into the Community and you'll see everything there. 

Need Extra Time to Watch?

  • We all lead such busy lives now - often there is not enough time to watch all the workshops you wanted to. 
  • This is why we have an Extended Access Pass that you can use to watch all the workshops until January 2026! Details are here

The Exclusive Pattern Bundle

  • 18 patterns for 88% less than retail? I know - it sounds too good to be true. But that is what you'll find in our Pattern Bundle. 
  • Get a bonus ebook and workshop about overcoming perfectionism, which just on its own is worth $169!
  • The bundle is USD$49. See all the patterns here.

Don't delay - the fun starts on July 1st!
