Christen is happy to offer advice on different quilting resources, but this is not the way for a very beginner quilter to learn how to quilt. All artists and quilters are welcome, and help will be offered, but there will not be a quilting 101 class session offered.

A: Don't worry! The quilt-along is designed to be flexible, allowing you to work at your own pace and join in whenever you're ready. The schedule is based on a 6 week time frame, but if you fall behind or need extra time to complete a challenge, that's perfectly okay. The most important thing is to enjoy the process and have fun creating your Taylor Swift-inspired quilt!

You'll have the opportunity to receive feedback, guidance, and encouragement from Christen and fellow participants, helping you grow as a quilter and gain confidence in your skills!
