Let's Get Wonky Quilt Retreat Class

Let’s Get Wonky Quilt Retreat Class

Join Paducah’s own Beverly Burris for a joyful quilting adventure that celebrates creativity over perfection! In this inspiring retreat, Bev teaches you how to use the Quilt in a Day “Wonky Ruler” in five versatile ways to create a lively, off-kilter lap quilt that’s full of personality.

With her trademark warmth and humor, Bev encourages quilters to let go of rigid rules and rediscover the fun in quilting. Her deep roots in the craft—starting at age five under her grandmother’s guidance—shine through every demonstration. As a seasoned teacher, speaker, and former owner of Whistling Meadows Retreat and the Quilt in a Day Paducah store, Bev brings decades of experience and stories to the classroom.

By the end of the retreat, you’ll have a completed quilt top, newfound confidence, and a reminder that sometimes, the most beautiful creations are the ones that aren’t perfect at all.
