My flow-sewing quilt-alongs emphasize restorative process over results to increase your creative flow, happiness, and motivation, while reducing stress and overthinking. Flow-sewing sessions are designed to activate not only your mind, but also your heart and hands as you make. You'll experience creative breakthroughs and make some impressive patchwork along the way.

Yes! You will get key tips for using colors in each block. You'll also learn to connect with your true and instinctive use of color. We won't follow strict rules to pick colors beforehand, but if you have a method for choosing colors, feel free to bring it! Working with color intuitively will improve your understanding.

YES! We love beginners, whether making a quilt for the first time or trying flexible patterns. We value the beginner's mind energy you bring to the group.

No matter your experience, we all have the birthright to begin where we are and continue to grow.

The Squad offers extra pre-recorded resources and a community to both support beginners and engage more experienced improvisers.

Monthly Zoom office hours will be available for Q&A, giving you a chance to get personal guidance from Sherri Lynn and other members.

We will work intuitively with pattern and color using the materials you have at hand —quilting stash, scraps, discarded clothing — SORRY! You aren’t required to purchase color coordinated fabric bundles each month - I know you’re sad about that ;-)

Tools: sewing machine, sharp scissors or rotary cutter and mat, ironing station, pins, fabric marker.

In January, we will start the Squad with the Tumbler block, selected by community vote at the Improv That Block Churn Dash in October 2024. Five more blocks will be nominated and voted on by the community. You can suggest and advocate for the classic blocks you'd like to explore.

Yes. I will not be teaching hand-piecing technique, but if you prefer to piece by hand, and you have the skills to do so, you can still benefit from the flow-sewing practices and the community. It will just take you longer — which isn’t a bad thing!

That’s entirely up to you. Some may choose to make a quilt from blocks each month, others may choose to combine all of the blocks into one quilt. What you make with your blocks will be your choice. The important thing to keep in mind, is there are no orphan blocks in the Squad. Every block you make is a stepping stone to more creative flow, regardless of the outcome.

Our first live Improv That Block Quilt-along is Saturday, January 11.

Subsequent Quilt-alongs will be on 2nd Saturdays, 1-4 pm eastern time.

YES! All live sessions will be recorded and available to replay inside the community course. This includes both the 2nd Saturday quilt-alongs and the 3rd Tuesday Q&A office hours with Sherri.

All members paid in full will have continued evergreen access to the archived community and ALL the course content and live event recordings, for the lifetime of the course — and guaranteed access AT LEAST one year after the course completes.

This community course is priced lower than my per/hour equity levels to be affordable for most.

If you are a standard and pay-it-forward participant I welcome and greatly appreciate your additional support through my donation link here.

Your gift of money directly supports the creation of new work, which allows me to thrive, grow and pass my learning and experience to others.

The six quilt-alongs are a package deal and won't be offered for purchase separately. Once registration closes on January 11, I can focus my full attention to holding space for ease and flow in the Squad, without the need to market. This is also why I can offer all six quilt-alongs at such an affordable rate.

Consider signing up even if you can’t attend every event live.

Joining the community course is a great value. It includes video replays of all live events, prerecorded demos, a bonus class, evergreen access to the all the content once the course completes, and access to the community. Why not join us for the whole enchilada!

No refunds or transfers are available after purchase of the Paid-In-Full option. You will receive evergreen access to all the content indefinitely for the life of the course archive.

Choose the monthly membership plan if you want to test the waters. No refunds or transfers are available after you purchase and pay the $59 deposit, but you may cancel and discontinue monthly payments at anytime, if you decide the Squad is not a good fit. Access to the course content and community will end at the completion of the billing cycle in which you cancel and you will forfeit evergreen access to the archived course community.
