    Thanks so much for the opportunity! I’m a newbie to quilting & can’t really afford a retreat even though I would have loved to go to the one you had just up the road from me at Missouri Quilt 🙂 this at least gives me a chance so thanks so much! I love you tuts & watch them all the time for different things. I’m making a bunch of the casserole carries this year for Christmas! Thanks again & keep up the awesome work!

    I am so excited to be a part of this group and hope to make more new friends! I believe that “hands on” learning is the best way for me to learn something new! I just get overwhelmed with all the “wording” that is associated with books and paper patterns.
    Let’s get this party started! Weeeeeeeeee!

    Thank you so much for ALL your videos. I am a beginner quilter and I’m still working on putting together the 16-1/2×16-1/2 quilt you posted. Although mine came out at 16″ and I am putting a ruffle around it! I am hoping I can join this class of quilting and have tons of scraps of material around. Right now I’m working on a quiet book for the grandbaby and WOW its a lot of work! But thank.you so much Vanessa you have insoired me more than you know! I don’t have too much of a life outside of sewing and you are an amazing woman!!!!!
    Inraised my 2 girls by myself and held 3 jobs, we did a lot of crafts together, now I’m older and I don’t know where the energy had come from maybe it was because I had to do it!
    Thank you again for your inspirations!!!!!!

    I think this would be a lot fun. I dont have a lot of time to go to a retreat or the money to go to a local Quilt shop weekend retreat. Would love to do this though. Thank you for your tutorials. You are an inspiration to us all.

    i would love the chance to win a spot in the online quilting retreat. I am a newbie and since my funds are very limited I have been using youtube videos to learn. I have checked out a few books in my local library but they are for the more advanced quilter. Since I do things alone, a virtual class with others would be great. It would give me a chance to learn from them and to see if we can help one another become even better quilters. Thanks so much for the opportunity.

    Been following you since the beginningand love what you’ve developed into here. What ever became of the law degree? I’m just curious as you were a law student when we started together, Vanessa.

      Hi Sandie! I graduated from law school in 2008 and went on to teach law classes in Santa Fe College’s paralegal program. I left that job to pursue Crafty Gemini full-time several years ago. 🙂

    Yay!!! I love this idea of an online retreat!! Girl, my husband has some trips to Germany and training coming up where he is gonna be gone. We are also waiting for the powers that be to decide if we are going to be moving…again.. And where! Army wife life is so hectic and drives me crazy as a planner and like to know of upcoming things well in advance. So I think this online retreat is going to be something fantastic!!!!

    Thank you for a chance to win, and looking forward to the details of this new online adventure ! Having you and Jenny involve in this is really great, and the up and coming teachers that will be teaching too is really going to be fun and a great learning experience.

    Thank you for this great opportunity. I am one of those beginners you mentioned, but with the constraints of my job, I have been unable to attend a class at my local quilt store (which is at least 45-60 minutes away.) That’s why I love your tutorials and Jenny Doan’s @MSQ so much. I can view them and work on things when I have some down time (usually late at night). I am definitely ready to go on an adventure with you all! Thank you again .

    Woohoo, this sounds great. I am trying to practice basic skills, but I know I am lacking many of them. I like your videos and how you explain very clearly the task at hand. Thank you for all the great videos and I love the idea of a quilt class in my own home. Thank you!

    I am a beginner at quitting, but haven’t sewn in years!
    love all your videos for refreshing my sewing skills.

    Oh my goodness…. That would be fantastic. I definitely don’t have an opportunity to get out of the house often (due to illness) and I watch your videos faithfully. It would certainly help me feel “in the loop” for a change.
    Thanks for the chance 🙂

    I’m confused. Did me simply subscribing to the site automatically enter me to win? Do I need to give any additional info? This idea just came in time. I was just looking for a guild to join this week, and I can’t find any which were near by or set to my work schedule.

    I just found recently started watching your channel. I subscribed and have learned a lot and look forward to learning more from you. I jumped at an opportunity to win a spot at the online retreat. I live in a very small town where there are no quilting teachers or groups. I have been learning from books and trial and error. I am so pleased to be here. Even if I don’t win I am pleased that I finally found help. 🙂

    I love this idea, this would be great for me. I have such a hard time trying to take classes and I’m ALWAYS the one problem person in the class that doesn’t quite get it. I feel really dumb in a room full of people who are just sewing right along and I’m trying to get through the first step and the rest of class is on step 3! Learning to quilt has been very frustrating for me. I keep trying though.

    This is such a great idea and very helpful. Being a American living in the UK, it gives me a connection to home (though I love living here too). I love watching you and Jenny…such great ideas and taught in a way to understand. Thanks for the opportunity to win a place and keep up the great work…..Cheers….xx

    This is a good opportunity for many to new learn new skills and/or expand their current, “meet” others through blogging with Q&A, on a scheduled time frame to actuallystart-finish a project!

    Hi Vanessa, living far away (Panama, Rep. De Panama, Central America) this would be just a great opportunity for me to expand my sewing / quilting skills. Here, in Panama, I am basically limited to online tutorials. Would be awsome to win this spot!????
