May 25, 2021 – Greetings from Flower Box Quilts!

I appreciate all the new subscriptions, and hope you are enjoying the new FREE patterns each month! Thank you to the EPP quilters that joined me for my 1^st EPP Stitching with Michele virtual quilting bee on May 15! We had stitchers from Canada, the UK and the USA!

“You can’t just sit there and wait for people to give you that golden dream. You’ve got to get out there and make it happen for yourself.” – Diana Ross

Please make sure you register for the next Stitching with Michele for Saturday, June 5 from 8 – 11 a.m. https://flowerboxquilts.com/stitching-with-michele/ Once you’re signed up you will receive an email each month! Come join the fun; learn something new; ask questions; and possibly win a door prize!

My virtual classes for June and July are on now on my Events calendar! If you enjoy piecing, then Star Power on June 21 would be perfect for the patriotic holidays or as a beach blanket! Or for those of you who are at an Intermediate level might enjoy Scrappy Carpenter Star on June 23.

I would love to lecture and/or teach virtually for your quilt guild; and all my classes, lectures, contract and resume are on my website. Just call or email me to set-up a date and time that works for your group!
