I love a good quilt-along! Quilting has always been about community, and the Glitch Quilt Along (or Glitch-Along) will be a great way to bond with your fellow quilters. Support, inspiration, prizes, maybe a little drama… You won’t want to miss this one!

I can’t wait to see how your Glitch turns out!
I thought you were in Toronto; why are your prices in USD?
Hi Karen, I am in Toronto. Most of my customers are in the US so it makes things easier for them. Send me an email and let me know what you’re trying to buy and I’ll see if I can help you out!
I do not have an Instagram account? Is there any other way to share as we go along before I join?
Hi Luann, you’re really missing out! There’s such a great quilting community over on Instagram. You’re welcome to share your own progress on other social networks, but all the giveaways and bonus challenges will be on Instagram. You can set up an account just for quilt alongs. Many people do!
Struggling to use Instagram. Been registered forever but I cannot “repost” “I’m Sew Totally In”. Really need some lessons on Instagram. I have been a follower of Gudrun on GE Designs for ages. I am one of her Crew members on Facebook too. LOL
Instagram is frustrating when it comes to reposts! I’ll include instructions in the next email!
Do you have to have an I-phone for instagram? I don’t. Can I do this on a Mac Lap-top?
You can get instagram for Android phones, too.
