"Dorie is very helpful and patient. As a previous, non current, club member, I sent a question to Dorie about a large mandala project I wanted to start. She texted me back quickly and then arranged a time to talk about it with me via zoom later. She is very willing to take time with people who have questions and needs. I also appreciate how methodical and easy to follow her online course materials and videos are. Things are easy to find and maneuver. And I’m grateful that after a year of full-time membership, her materials are still available for year-long use." --Connie B

Here's how we'll make it happen
Quilted Mandala Club is where you can expand your knowledge of machine quilting and take your quilting to the next level. When you join the QM Club, you will learn much more than just how to create unique, one-of-a-kind Mandalas! Because, let’s face it, quilting a Mandala will take many, many different skills!
Months 1-3
In the first three months of lessons, we will focus on ruler work within blocks and borders. These are skill-building lessons and designs that you will use inside and around Mandalas.
The lessons will cover all the tips and tricks the beginner machine quilter needs to know while challenging the more experienced quilters to expand their skills.
Months 4-6
You’ll learn about the three basic styles of Mandalas. This will include Mandala designs from 12"-24’’ and smaller projects, like table runners with multiple Mandalas.
You're not alone in your journey. With the Quilted Mandala Club, you have ongoing access to Dorie, your dedicated teacher, for guidance and support throughout your membership.
Months 7-12
After six months of basic techniques, we will move on to Monthly projects that include larger Mandalas, layered Mandalas, more Grid designs, border designs & connecting designs.
You’ll also have the support and encouragement of the other Club members through the private Facebook group and monthly meetings.
This is a highly value added class. Everything is very professional from lesson design right through to the video presentation. It is the most valuable series of classes I have ever taken, in person or on-line. - Marla S

Lessons like:

The lessons will be available on the Forever Quilting Kajabi website under a secure login. They are pre-recorded and available for you to watch and re-watch. These videos will remain in your library for an additional year after the 12-month course is complete or as long as you remain a member with Full Club Access.
"A few months back I joined the Quilting Mandala Club put on by Dorie Hruska. Dorie is an expert in her field of longarm quilting with years of experience in teaching. I have always admired her beautiful quilted Mandalas but never thought I could do it. So, when I saw the club announcement, I signed up immediately. I have learned so many new things and gotten much better on things I already knew. We have done extensive work on fillers and ruler work including crosshatch and curves. Even a beginner level quilter would be able to succeed. The cost is a fraction of what you would have to pay for in person 3-day weekend class. And the club format is great because the experience is ongoing. Dorie is so patient and is always available to help with anything I need. I look forward to every weekly lesson and our monthly meetings. You will love the club!" Maryanne M.

"I have been in this club since Dorie started it in 2020. She is a patient, methodical instructor, giving clear, concise directions every step of the way. Even if you aren’t obsessed with mandalas, you will learn many new designs, learn how to have better consistency in your design formation, and you’ll go at your own pace. Quilting circles can be challenging but Dorie breaks it down so that you will soon have the confidence to tackle designs that would have intimidated you beforehand. I am a very happy student, as you can probably tell." Mary S
