Welcome to our cozy corner of creativity! I’m Bethany, and I’m thrilled to guide you through our Barn Quilt Classes—a welcoming space where we Relax, Refocus, and Connect through the Creative Process. These gatherings aren’t about ticking off tasks; they’re about coming together as a small, close-knit community (usually 12 or fewer friends) and fostering meaningful connections—with each other and with ourselves.

I bring a warm background in human relations and communications, having earned a Master’s from the University of Oklahoma. My studies in small group dynamics, team building, and creative problem solving have helped me learn how to nurture an environment where everyone feels comfortable being themselves. With a certification in diversity and development, I’m committed to making sure our group is a safe, inclusive space where each individual is respected and celebrated.

Over the past 25-plus years, I’ve had the joy of teaching, team building, and facilitating many creative sessions—ranging from Fortune 500 companies to the Department of Defense and intimate workshops like ours. I blend creative icebreakers, relaxation methods, and gentle coaching into our classes, guiding you with kindness as you explore your unique creative journey. My background as a trained geometric artist weaves in, offering a touch of artful inspiration that’s both calming and invigorating.

In each session, we focus on building an accepting environment where you can feel proud of your project, no matter your skill level. I love introducing simple ways to embrace 15 minutes of creative mindfulness into our daily lives, helping us all pause, reflect, and recharge.

I can’t wait for you to join our community—a space where creativity meets genuine connection. Let’s relax, refocus, and make something beautiful together! 🐝✨
