Meet Your Tour Guide
Hi! I'm Lynn, your tour guide on this adventure and the creative heart behind the Wanderlust Quilt Society. My quilts are inspired by my travels, reflecting the colors, textures, and traditions of the places I’ve explored.
With nearly 30 years of teaching experience, I love bringing quilters together to create art that feeds the soul and sparks joy. My warm, approachable style helps students feel at ease, whether in-person or online.
As a former librarian and lifelong traveler, I bring a unique blend of curiosity, creativity, and organization to everything I do. Through the Wanderlust Quilt Society, I’m excited to share inspiration from around the world, one creative adventure at a time.
FAQ
How is this different from a Quilt Along or Block of the Month?
This membership offers much more than a typical quilt along or block of the month program. You'll receive live instruction on how to create each block, accompanied by detailed descriptions of the regions that inspired them. Additionally, our book club, recipes, and extra crafts will enrich your experience, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the culture of the area.
How am I traveling if I'm not really going anywhere?
While you will not be physically visiting the location, you will explore the area through captivating photos, engaging videos, delicious recipe ideas, immersive books, and fun crafts.
What is the size of the quilt?
The full sampler is 50" x 69" but you can pick and choose your favorite blocks and make it whatever size you like. There are often bonus blocks that you can also add.
What if I'm a beginning quilter?
Great! You are a perfect fit. The monthly lessons will ensure that all your questions are answered and offer you all the help you will need to master each block.
What if I'm an advanced quilter?
Great! You are a perfect fit. Your expertise will enrich our community.
What quilt techniques will be used?
All of the blocks are traditionally pieced. However, members also receive bonus quilt patterns that may include applique or collage.
Is there a kit?
Occasionally kits are offered by my local quilt shop, but I also encourage you to use whatever fabrics make YOU happy. The cover quilt uses Cherrywood, but I've also included fabric list with Shadow Blush by Benartex.
What are the fabric requirements?
