Minki Kim - Quilters Big Tote Class
Designed with versatility in mind, this tote can be made reversible, giving you two stylish looks in one—choose between a simple exterior or a patchwork design. Throughout the class, we’ll cover techniques such as working with grid stabilizer for patchwork ease, quilting layers, and assembling a professional-quality bag.
This class is ideal for confident beginners and beyond who are comfortable with basic sewing skills and want to build their bag-making confidence.
By the end of the class, you’ll leave with a durable, stylish tote and the skills to make more in different fabrics for any occasion.

| Instructor Bio: | Hello, my name is Amy, and I have been a crafter all my life. I grew up in a family of quilters and remember fondly my grandmother and her sisters hand quilting. I started quilting about nine years ago when my daughter was expecting our first grandchild. After one quilt, I was hooked. I am a retired educator who taught secondary mathematics for eight years and school administration for 26 years. I retired in 2022 so I could have more time to craft and spend time with my family. I love being able to use my teaching skills to help people learn to quilt. I can’t wait to get you hooked, too! |
