Blooming Botanicals is the floral class you've always dreamed of, but didn't know to wish for! In this dynamic 13+ hour class you will learn everything there is to know about free motion quilting flowers and floral elements on either a domestic sit down or longarm stand up machine. Every class concept is fully demonstrated via drawing, then sewn on both styles of machines.

This class is presented as recorded classes here on Teachable, with an optional Facebook group for a dynamic supportive network of fellow quilters where students will have daily 1:1 interaction and feedback with Bethanne. The length of class with Bethanne is 2 full months, however you own the material forever, so, you can progress and practice at your own pace.
