I have been quilting about 10-25 quilts. It really is hard to say because I tend to piece tops and then they hang in the closet. There are lots of UFOs in there! Your class list is remarkable. What a wonderful event!
I’m still on the 1-10 level. Time is not my friend at this stage in life. You’d think it would be!
I’m around 10 baby quilts..but just did my own queen quilt recently
I’ve been quilting 25+ quilts! Counting them out like that kind of blows me away. I feel like I have so much more to learn 🙂

I have been actively quilting since 1978 (technically I learned to piece as a very small child from my grandmother … but never made a quilt until I was grown;0.
I have no idea how many quilts I’ve made because it never occurred to me to keep count. Many, many, including over three dozen minis for the three books on foundation piecing I wrote.
🙂 Linda
I’ve made about 40 quilts, I’ve finished about 10 of them (yay UFOs). I’ve been quilting about 7 years. My biggest project is a 1450 pc EPP hexie rainbow quilt top.
Purchased fabric I’m a quilter, actual sewn quilts = total beginner. 🙂
25+ quilts for me!
A question…I wouldn’t be able to be off work for most of the classes. Could I still have access later on even if I can’t access the classes when they are originally taught?
I’ve completed less then 10 but do have several tops done but not quilted. I get nervous at that point and haven’t finished them.
I have been Quilting for almost two years and have made more than 25 quilts. I love fabric and matching a pattern with just the right fabric brings me joy.
I believe I have pieced more than 25 quilts but have yet to quilt them all! I began quilting 6 years ago when my first grand daughter was expected. That’s also about the time that I was officially diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. I quilt as much as I can in order to keep my fingers from freezing up. I love the idea of taking quilt classes online with others for 3 days and really look forward to learning some great, new things!
I’ve been quilting for 12 years and have made more than 25 quilts. This online conference sounds like a lot of fun!!
I’m a 1-10 person who now has time to up that number.
I´ve been quilting 10-25 quilts. Hope to achieve more and more.
Thanks
I’ve made over 25 quilts (way over!) since 2013
Hi! Thanks for running this promotion! I am just beginning at quilting.
I’m a 1-10 er…all family gifts so far and see myself doing this forever!
I gave made 1-10 quilts.
I’m in the 1-10 category. Lots to learn.
I’ve made about 8 quilts. Four lapsize quilts, some babyquilts and some miniquilts. But I’m quilting for 6 years, l’m not that productive. ..
1-10 quilts but each one gets better!!! Love the entire creative process
I have finished 78 quilts and have a few more waiting to be quilted and few in process and about 9 ufos. this is since I restarted sewing/quilting in 2018
Well I already commented but it isn’t showing up so I will try again.
I’ve made way over 25 quilts and I have over 30 in progress (from just starting to just needs binding).
I would like to ask…if I am unable to access the classes on the actual day (I work 2 of the 3 days), can I still access them later? I see rewatching mentioned and wondered if not ‘attending ‘ the actual day would be a problem.
I’m a newbee to quilting. I have many UFOs , but have never finished a quilt. Thanks for the inspiration!
I’ve made 7 quilt tops, quilted one (a rag quilt) and have had the other 6 quilted for me. The quilting is intimidating to me but I am really interested in learning the edge to edge technique…probably cause I could buy more stuff! Thank you for the opportunity to win a ticket to this online class. Love the concept – wish other artists would consider doing this.
I’ve been quilting about 8 years or so, I tried around 26 years ago, but was not very successful til just in the past several years. I’m guessing finances have more to do with it now.
I’m around 40 – 50 quilts, although I still have 10 – 15 I have yet to quilt. I hope to have those finished by the end of this year. This online conference looks like a great opportunity to meet new quilt friends and learn a lot at the same time. I’m really looking forward to it!
I started about 2 years ago and have made 3 quilts.
I been quilting for 5 years. Finished maybe a handful of quilts, and have many WIP and UFO’s!
I have been quilting about 35 years, I have made more than 25 quilts. I really enjoy quilting!
I started quilting 12 years ago. I have quilted well over 25 quilts. In fact, I burned up my first machine after sewing and then quilting a lot of quilts! I’d love to able to take all these classes and learn new skills. Due to a chronic illness, it’s hard to take a class at a quilt store because I never know how I’m going to feel on any given day. Thanks for this opportunity.
I just started- one quilt!
I’ve been quilting for about a year and a half and have made 1-10 quilts. I love it! Thanks for the chance to win!
I’m still in the beginning stages of quilting, so 1-10 quilts!
I’m just starting out! I’m reading, researching, and learning. I’ve never made any quilts.
I have several quilts under my belt, but I still consider myself a beginner. Lots still to learn!
I’ve made 10-25 quilts, including a handful of table runners and placemats, along with over 10 lap quilts. I love learning new techniques and how to improve as I still consider myself an experienced beginner.
Right around 25 made but much to learn n perfect! I wanna sew forever! And try to get more ideas into fiber.
I’ve finished 3 and have two more started.
I’m over 25+ quilts. Still have dozens that I want to do!

Thanks for the giveaway. I am just getting started. Only three finished quilts but I have enjoyed the process.
I am a 1-10 finished and gifted quilt person. I need to up my self-confidence level!!
I started quilting about 2 years ago. I’ve completed about 10-15 quilts so far. Mostly baby and throw size.
I’ve been quilting 25+ quilts. Hard to fathom!
Fabulous giveaway!
I’ve only quilted a bag,
no quilts yet.
Carla from Utah
25+ quilts for me. I’ve been addicted for over 20 years but started putting thread to needle 50 years ago!
I have made enough quilts to feel confident but not so many that I feel there is nothing more to learn. I think I have made about 23 wall hangings and roughly 30 bed or throw size quilts.. My current goal is to stitch up my fabric stash so my sewing space can be better organized. Thanks for the opportunity to win classes and patterns.
10-25 quilts completed. Many more quilt tops waiting patiently in line to be quilted and bound.
Just starting 1 to 10 quilts!! And loving it!!!
I’m currently working on my first quilt, a small lap quilt. So far so good.
I’m a beginner at the 1 – 10 stage. I am so ready to start quilting again. I pieced my last quilt about 2 years ago, it’s hanging waiting for me to work up the courage to try to quilt . I would love to win a ticket to Mod Bee, there would be so much that I could learn from the great instructors that will be there. I have my fingers crossed.
I’m a retired costume designer and professor who now has time to learn new techniques which I hadn’t had tie to do . I’m a beginning quilter. What a great group of quilters you have assembled.
I began quilting about 2 years ago although have sewn all my life since I was 8. I have made between 10-20 quilts, tablerunners etc. Love this hobby.
I have made 9 quilts but still a novice..
I have been quilting for over 35 years so I am definitely over 25 quilts.
10-25. Used to mainly sew clothing for my kids when they were younger with a few quilts here and there. Now they are older so I’m moving toward sewing more quilts.
I have been Quilting for 15 years. I have done over 25 lap quilts, and baby gifts. I love sewing for family and friends
Not sure how many but I have been quilting for over 20 years (Wow! As I am typing that seems like a long time!)
I’ve been quilting for almost 5 years. I have completed 11-20 quilt tops and I am currently learning how to free motion quilt so I can quilt them myself.
Hi! I really enjoy your blog and quilting ideas. I have sewn about 10-12 quilts, not all throws. A few are wall hangings and table toppers that I like to give as gifts. I would love to win this prize! Thanks for all you do!! 🙂
I have 2 finished, and umpteen in progress lol
I love quilting and wish I had more time to do it. I’ve probably made 20ish quilts.
I’m in the neighborhood of 10 to 25 quilts and lots of smaller projects.
I’ve been sewing my own clothes since age 9 (nearly 60 now), but didn’t start quilting until about 15 years ago (I resisted – I didn’t need another excuse to buy fabric!) The bug bit, though, and I am an addict!! 🙂
10-25 proper quilts
I have been quilting for 7 years and have made 10-25 quilts. Your classes look wonderful.
Hi! I’ve been sewing most of my life (eek! about 40 years!) but have only completed two small quilted projects. I guess that puts me in the 1-10 project range. Also, is there a schedule for the Mod Bee event? What times the presenters are going live, and which projects are on which days?
I am a beginner quilter. I have completed 3 quilts but have some to finish Have a great day!
Beginnet quilter.dayhave completed 3. more in the works. Have a great day!
I am just beginning and having a blast!
