Exclusive Online Video Content
Via The Fabulous
Starting on 01 June 2026, our fabulous & much-loved
VIP Member Club gives you incredible, unique video content where we get the chance to step into an artist's mind each and every month; you can't find this anywhere else! Plus monthly, live Zoom-chats, interactive sessions and enriched learning - this year a new theme with SIX incredible artists!
Don't miss out on this unique quilting experience!

The above video says it all, but if you don't have time to watch, here's a summary of whats to come!
From 01 June 2026 to 31 May 2027, our VIP Member Club returns - and this time, we've entitled the theme for the year: 'Where Is The Love?' (If you're here after June 1st 2026 - don't worry! All the content is recorded and there waiting for you whenever you join!)
Before we get stuck in, quick note: if you buy the annual membership, you get two months FREE!
For this extraordinary year-long journey, we’ve brought together six phenomenal, in-demand quilt artists - Pat Pauly, David Owen Hastings, Matt Wilding, Cas Holmes, Vendulka Battais and Ali McCathren - to collaborate with you.
Together, you’ll witness (and be part of) the creation of a powerful collective quilt that will culminate in a competition entry at the renowned Festival of Quilts. Through beautifully filmed, watch-anytime content and monthly live interactive Zoom chats, you’ll follow each artist’s process from first idea to final stitch - the decisions, the risks, the breakthroughs. This isn’t just about watching; it’s about growth.
You'll be encouraged to make your own creations using the skills our artists have used in their two months worth of content. However, you don't have to make a single thing, we won't be judging you! Although we’re challenging you to elevate your skills, stretch your creativity, and uncover your inner artist - while simultaneously challenging six master makers to push their own boundaries in a bold collaborative vision, you can sit back and enjoy the ride however you choose to do so!
-
A year of inspiration...
-
A year of learning...
-
Six Artists - One Vision - One Monumental Quilt!...
So, 'How do we see behind the scenes?'
Through beautifully filmed, chapter-based videos (so you don't have to watch it all in one go), you’ll step inside each artist’s creative process from first spark to final stitch. The only brief we’ve given our artists is four simple words: 'Where Is The Love?'
-
What does that mean to them?
-
Where does their mind go first?
-
What stories, emotions, or experiences rise to the surface?
-
What do they make?
Love isn’t just romance - it’s connection, care, community, devotion, resilience. For example, for artist Cas Holmes, love may be deeply intertwined with her role as a carer to her husband - a powerful, personal perspective that could shape her creative response.
Each artist will interpret the theme through their own lens, their own life, and their own artistic voice - making this collaboration rich, meaningful, and completely unique. We will watch as they mull over:-
-
How do they begin...
-
What inspires the layout...
-
How are colours chosen...
-
Fabrics selected...
-
Shape
-
Texture
And how do six independent creatives work in harmony to build one unified piece?
You’ll learn real techniques, practical skills, and artistic decision-making you can apply to your own quilting - all available to you 24/7/365 in your exclusive VIP Member Club members’ area!
And it doesn’t stop there. You will also:-
-
See the quilt in person - and maybe some of the artists who created it live on stage (TBC)...
-
Attend monthly live Zoom sessions where you can ask questions and share your own work...
-
Have access to a members Facebook group.
-
Enjoy 18 months of access to the whole content - giving you time to create at your own pace, pressure-free...
This isn’t just a course. It’s a front-row seat to collaboration, creativity, and inspiration at the highest level. Watch it unfold. Learn from the masters. Create alongside them!...

So How Does Each Month Work?
What Format Does the Content Take?
Each of our VIP Member Club Guest Tutors for the 2026/27 project presents across a two month period. So for example, Pat Pauly takes centre-stage in June & July 2026 with Matt Wilding up next in August & September 2026. Vendulka Battais steps into the spotlight in October & November 2026, with David Owen Hastings in December 2026 & January 2027. Allie McCathren then takes centre-stage for February & March 2027 with Cas Holmes rounding off the year in style in April & May 2027. This is all recorded films, so you can watch and sew at your own speed, you have all the content for 18 months! The live zooms are just catch up chats and show and tells, so if you find this challenging, don't worry, you don't have to 'keep up with anything' you go and learn at your own pace!
