*Pro-Stitcher 601: Designs that Dance Retreat



You’ve got the technical skills — now it’s time to choreograph your stitches.
At Designs that Dance, quilting becomes art in motion. You’ll learn to blend motifs, balance space, and create designs that flow instead of just fill.

This retreat moves you from technician to artist. You’ll learn to combine motifs into cohesive scenes, create wholecloth compositions, and make quilting decisions that feel intuitive and inspired.

What You’ll Learn

  • Merge motifs into unified, flowing compositions.
  • Transform block designs into continuous art quilts.
  • Manage negative space, balance, and symmetry.
  • Plan wholecloth quilts from layout to finish.
  • Integrate multiple tools and areas with ease.

Why Students Love It

Because it feels like creative freedom.
They start with a few motifs and end with a masterpiece. With laughter, feedback, and a few “Wow, I made that?!” moments, students rediscover the joy of quilting as art.

If you’re ready to go from functional to fabulous, this is your stage.

Join us for Designs that Dance — and let your stitches move to your rhythm!
