This club will inspire and challenge you, helping you grow as a quilter while creating stunning mandalas and quilts that reflect your personal style.

I see you, Quilty Friend . . .

✔  You yearn for instruction from an experienced quilter to nurture your skills and confidence, yet time or location constraints hinder your ability to attend physical classes.

✔  You crave a supportive community that provides friendship and encouragement. Yet, you often feel isolated without the camaraderie of fellow quilters who understand your passion.

✔  You crave resources and guidance to fuel your creativity in quilting, yet the lack of consistent inspiration and support leaves you feeling uncertain about where to turn.

Here’s a snapshot of what the Club has in store for you:

Plus, you’ll also get a full year of community and support
to help you finish your projects and develop new skills.

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.

TESTIMONIALS 

I'm having so much fun doing the Quilted Mandala Course offered by Dorie Hruska through Forever Quilting Academy. I started this course in January and hadn't done much work with stencils. I did have some experience with using rulers but have improved so much. . . .I even impressed myself. I highly recommend this course. ~ Catherine

I’ve been part of this club since it started and it’s sooooo much fun and I’ve learned sew very much! Plus it’s not only mandala learning, it’s way way more than that…it generates ideas to further your quilting journey! Give it a shot!! You will have sew much fun! ~Vicki C

"Dorie presents a very systematic, comprehensive course suitable for all levels of quilters to create beautiful mandalas. The lessons are well designed and fun.
She provides videos and diagrams of everything that is taught and is readily available to answer any questions. I have learned so much from Dorie and highly recommend this course!"  ~ Vivian L

I am loving class & have been learning a lot from you. Thank you for everything! ~ Jane

I have learned soooo much. This has been one of the best experiences in quilting I have had. I have made what I call the final exam, my 3 in 1 mandala and 4 other mandalas. . . . You are a super teacher.~ Maryanne M

I have taken a lot of classes, but nothing compares to the amount of content in this class!

I have learned so many really great skills in this club! Things like the foundations of holding rulers correctly when doing ruler work, cross hatching, various background fills (and when best to use them), and lets not forget FEATHERS, SWIRLS AND CURLEY QUES! But what I appreciate most is that while this class covers lots of quilting mechanics, Dorie is constantly leading her students to think for themselves to come up with our own creative designs and ideas.

All the information in the club are learning blocks and help to build my skills. Also, enjoy the monthly meetings and sharing with others. Dorie is very helpful and engaging.

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.

The groundwork in FMQ you’ll develop as you complete each lesson will allow you to expand your quilting abilities to other projects you create, not just the mandalas made in the course work.

Dorie reminds students not to feel that they need to copy what she is doing but to make it their own, for example using a feather style that you are comfortable with.

I’m loving it! The Monday morning email with the new lesson for the week is the first one I read, with anticipation & excitement!

I really enjoy the Facebook group where we share our work. Because of my work schedule I am not able to make most of the monthly meetings but I feel like I know several of the people in the Facebook group and appreciate how encouraging everyone is.

I've been very happy with my progress.

I enjoy working with the stencils that Dorie has created. It has opened up a new way of looking at the creative process. The classes are broken down step by step and easy to understand the progression.

"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
