Virtual Quilt Luminarium Class

What in the world is Quilt Luminarium you ask?
"Quilt Luminarium is an in-depth quilt course that has no comparable counter-part. It is a comprehensive symposium that demystifies seemingly complex concepts, teaches mastery of unique techniques, and helps harnesses the power of the ever-elusive muse of creativity. A diverse range of topics are presented in such a way that quilters of all experience, expertise, and styles will enjoy."


Here is a link to the Virtual Quilt Luminarium trailer to see what all the excitement is about.
