Hello!
I'm Bea Byrne.
I asked Santa Claus for a sewing kit when I was 3 and have never looked back. I have a love of anything to do with textiles but my real passion is quilting. After a career in tech and events I realized that organizing and hosting this online conference is the perfect way to merge the two worlds.
Quilt n Learn's Evolution
It was the end of 2023. I had just attended a Zen Stitching online event and was googling to see when the next similar event for quilters was. But there wasn't one! A few days thought and with feedback from a few amazing quilters, QUILT2024 was born. The first event was in January 2024 and much to my surprise more than 7000 quilters signed up and took part. Six months later "Summer Camp" followed and more than 8000 quilters attended!
Soon after, the name changed to Quilt n Learn and we settled in to a rhythm of six-monthly events which continued in January 2025. Many of the back of house details have changed since then but the format and inspiration stays the same. I really do not want there to be any barrier to taking part for anyone anywhere. That's why making the events free was such as important part of it. We've since had attendees from more than 70- countries sign up and benefit from getting face-to-face with some of greatest quilters of this generation.
About This Event
I love to learn and I know other quilters do too. But...
There are so many resources and classes - how do you know which one is going to be good?
How do you discover new quilters and teachers from around the world?
What should I spend time on when I have so little to spare?
This is exactly why I created this event - to solve these problems.
