a personal welcome! ... MORE ABOUT US
With great anticipation, we invite you to join us on a tropical Caribbean adventure on board the Equinox! It sails round trip from Orlando, Florida, USA January 18 – 25, 2025.
We’ve created a unique experience with accomplished and knowledgeable machine quilters. Learn their best tips for high-end quilting skills and creative design, plus crafting the hobby or business YOU absolutely love.
Your hosts are Susan (Stitched by Susan) and David Smith (Mr. Producer )
As a machine quilter, Susan brings beauty and originality to edge to edge designs for the no-so-common couch quilt, and has helped hundreds and hundreds of quilters find freedom and confidence in their quilting skills. David is the IT guy, and together they produce Live & Unscripted, quilting’s first reality show on YouTube.
Bethanne Nemesh (White Arbor Quilting)
Bethanne is an artist who has chosen textiles, and especially quilts, as her medium. She’s won many national and international awards and it’s truly no wonder – her artistry elevates quilted textures and yarn couching to a whole new (stratospheric) level. She is an exceptional teacher with a wealth of experience.
Sam Alberts (Quilting Curve Studio)
Sam brings a fresh eye and contemporary style to her custom quilting. She’s a master of working through the infamous “quilter’s block,” creating quilting themes, and bringing unique ideas to her quilted designs.
We’ve carefully chosen these specific quilters as they are successful business entrepreneurs as well as accomplished artists. So, in addition to the feast of quilting lectures and demos, we’re serving up a side menu of a la carte business breakouts.
- Scroll-stopping quilt photography
- Video production & lighting for crafters
- Strategically using social media to grow your business
- Pricing for customers
- Building a video library
- Automation apps
We’ll have several to-be-determined spotlight speakers in these breakout sessions as well.
It’ll be a week of learning, laughing, and cruising adventures!
Can’t wait to see you in 2025!!
— Susan and David Smith
