Quilting with Confidence

Take the intimidation out of quilting and sew with confidence alongside your Quilting Friend, Emily!

In this fun, hands-on class, we’ll break down the quilting process step by step using my exclusive Sewing Guide—a resource designed to keep you organized and moving forward with ease.

This is a supportive and interactive experience where no question is off-topic. You’ll receive real-time guidance, expert tips, and encouragement every step of the way.


By the end of class, you’ll have:

✔️ A strong foundation in quilting techniques

Meet Your Instructor: Emily from Quilting your Legacy

Hi, I’m Emily, a lifelong quilter with a deep passion for helping others build their skills and confidence through quilting.

My quilting journey began when I was just 10 years old, picking out fabrics at my grandmother’s beloved fabric shop, Norton House Quilting, in Wilmington, VT. She founded the shop over 55 years ago, creating a space where quilters could gather, learn, and create beautiful quilts with care and precision. Under her guidance, I learned that quilting wasn’t just about sewing—it was about legacy, love, and connection.

For years, I carried on that tradition, eventually taking over Norton House Quilting myself. However, after the heartbreaking loss of my husband about two years ago, I made the difficult decision to close the shop. While it was painful to say goodbye to that chapter, I knew that my love for quilting—and my grandmother’s legacy—would live on in a new way.

That’s how Quilting your Legacy was born. Now, I’m dedicated to helping others build confidence in their quilting skills, create meaningful projects, and connect with a supportive community.

My teaching style is hands-on, encouraging, and fun because quilting should be something that brings you joy, not stress! Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced quilter, I’m here to support and guide you every step of the way.
