I am so excited to share a new quilting conference that I am a part of next month! It’s called teh MOD BEE quilting conference and it’s going to be exclusively online!
Quilting conferences or retreats can be pricey and hard to get to so the fabulous girls from Simple Simon have come up with a fun new way to participate in one!
Today we are excited to announce that tickets sales for Mod Bee are now open! Mod Bee is 3 day, online conference full of interactive quilting classes taught by some of the internet’s favorite quilters.
This year Mod Bee will be held March 14th, 15th, and 16th (With classes running every 2 hours from 9am-7pm)
When you register for Mod Bee you receive:
-
- Access to a private Facebook group where 6 classes will be taught each day during the conference (Making that a total 18 classes!)
- 12 PDF Patterns sent to you via email prior to the conference beginning so that you can be prepared to sew along with the classes of your choice
- Automatic entry to win daily prizes during the conference
- Continued access to the videos that will remain posted throughout the remainder of the year.
- Ticket price for this 3 day event is $75
The Mod Bee is a modern twist on an old fashioned quilting bee…a chance to gather together quilters from across the country into one location to learn, visit, be inspired and enjoy the love of quilting. And, we hope you will join us.
The team of teachers gathered together this year include:

I will be teaching my Sweet Squares quilt!
It’s a fun quilt that is great for showing off large size prints. It’s perfect for beginners or expert quilters too! As part of your registration fee you’ll receive this pattern for free, along with 11 other PDF patterns from the other teachers!
It is going to be three days worth of quilting awesomeness that you can take part in without ever having to leave the comfort of your own home!
I have a discount code for you to use as well! If you enter the code FLAMINGOTOES at registration, your cost for the conference will go down to $55!!

I have never been a part of such conference. I am good at the traditional Indian method of quilting, but the Western world still amazes me with their Quilting.
What is Indian Quilting? Indian as in Native American or India?
I have never been to a quilt conference, but I would love to learn simple techniques that improve my quilting.
This sounds really good! I have gone to a few retreats and really enjoy the instruction, patterns and tips offered.
This sounds wonderful! I’m 52 and I have Parkinson’s Disease. I’m teaching myself to sew as a way to keep my brain in use, lol. Also to try and control my tremors, oh well it was a good dream! Seriously I would love love to do this, I am not allowed to drive anymore so I look for ways to busy myself and as I said I am teaching myself to sew. Classes like this would be perfect for me. Thanks for taking the time to consider me. Have a great conference!
I was actually at my first quilting retreat last weekend and came down with the flu the first night and had to go home☹️ But it was fun to see what everyone was working on and different techniques I know nothing about!
I’ve done online classes with FB groups. LOVE LOVE LOVE them. It’s nice to be able to go back and rewatch the videos and also see other people’s progress along the way as well as ask questions. ALSO, you work at your own pace.
I have never attended a conference where classes are taught but I have attended retreats where you just gather and sew for 3 days. I’m new at this so I would like to learn how to best prepare a finished project to send out to be quilted and maybe see some demos of longarm quilting.
I have been looking at this since it was announced. Checked the days with the family calendar and it looks possible for me! I have been seriously quilting less than a year, but sewing and crafting all my life. This looks like a great opportunity to learn!
oh man! So sorry I have to miss this! It is our winter break here in Ontario Canada and for the first time ever we have decided to go on vacation with the kids for the week!Hope you do this again!
Hello, oh I’m so excited about this online retreat! I just signed up!! You can never stop learning and taking classes for quilting and sewing in my book! Hope I win! Thank you Tricia
Well, I just signed up for your fabulous site. I adore all of your colors and that USA quilt. I have not been to a conference for quilting but one for stamping. I learned quite a lot. I love the way you explain things so naturally.
I have been to other conferences, but not a quilting one. I do enjoy learning tips and tricks and new techniques from other people. I like the idea that you will have access for a year, I don’t work that fast!
This sounds like so much fun! I’ve never been to one and am an absolute beginner, but I’d love to see it all and try everything. :)
The conference sounds like such fun. I follow several of the teachers and will check out the others.
I’ve never been to a quilting conference but this sounds like fun. I’m open to learn anything new. I love your quilt.
I want to join the conference and am excited to learn some new things.
However, when I went to the registration page, there was no place to add the discount code. That was quite disappointing. The page took me right to my Paypal.
I have never been to a conference but would love to join this one. I like to learn new techniques and different tricks to quilting.
I have not been to a quilting conference but did my first quilt retreat last year. I love this idea of online learning! With kids’ schedules that’s more doable! I just love learning time-saving and make-it-easier quilting tips as you teach. I have very similar taste in colors, happy, fun quilt designs as you so look forward to your teaching!
I have never been on a quilting retreat. I think I just need more practice at basics. The online format seems more do-able…no packing up everything just to realize you left something important at home!
I have not been to a quilting conference, but when I go to one, I would like to learn different techniques to help me find my own way through the quilting world!
I’ve never been to a conference, but I would love to learn tips to be more accurate!
I am going to my first quilting conference this month – QuiltCon in Nashville! And I have signed up for your MOD BEE – very excited for both!!
I have never attended a sewing conference, either! This is somewhat enticing, I must say!
Thanks for the chance to win!
I couldn’t find anywhere to enter your code FLAMINGOTOES for the discount when I registered. Is there a way to get a refund for the discount amount? Thank you.
I have been to a few quilt camps with my mom and aunt. We all had a
great time, but having to pack and carry your machine and supplies is very labor intensive . This online option sounds great.
Went to the Houston Quilt Festival several years ago, but no quilt retreat/conferences. Would love to win!!!
What an amazing idea! Would love it!
Yay, mod bee! Just the best idea ever . I’ve been to camps and retreat. Mod bee iwould bee my first time conference
Sorry, I realize I am already subscribed. So You need only to send once!
This is so exciting! I have never been to a quilt conference, but boy oh boy do I want to! This sounds so exciting!
