Day 3 at The Handmade Collective: Finale, Friendship & Full-Hearted Making

Welcome to Day Three of The Handmade Collective - our grand finale and a day to celebrate all the color, creativity, and connection we’ve shared this week. We’ve stitched, pressed, pieced, and played, and now we’re wrapping things up with a joyful mix of fresh projects, fan-favorite makers, and one last round of surprises.

Whether you’ve been with us since the first stitch or you’re just joining in today, there’s still magic waiting for you here.

Michele McIntosh – Live with Legit Kits: Meet Chip the Goldfinch

Prepare to be wowed as Michele McIntosh brings “Chip the Goldfinch” to life. It’s a breathtaking 30x40" quilt made from 83 shades of Kona Cotton. It’s where precision meets creativity, and you get a behind-the-scenes look at how it all comes together

In this live demo, Michele will walk you through:

• Her step-by-step paper piecing method, Legit Kits style
  
  

• Smart strategies for managing tiny pieces (and your sanity)
  
  

• Her go-to tips for fabric prep, color flow, and staying accurate from start to finish
  
  

This session is part art lesson, part quilting masterclass, and all kinds of inspiring.

Corey Pearson - The QISS System, Unlocked

It’s time to quilt with purpose, not pressure. Join Corey Pearson as he breaks down the QISS System. QISS stands for Quality, Intentional, Simple, and Sustainable, a game-changing approach to quilting on your home machine.

In this practical, inspiring session, Corey will show you how to:

• Quilt your own projects with confidence (and joy)
  
  

• Choose tools and materials that actually make a difference
  
  

• Work in sections to reduce overwhelm (and save your back!)
  
  

• Finish what you start,  beautifully and with purpose
  
  

QISS & Tell Giveaway

We’re wrapping this session with something special: a QISS Ultimate Bundle packed with Corey’s go-to tools for stress-free quilting success. One lucky winner will take home the full system: templates, guides, and more. The goal is to start stitching smarter, not harder!

Stephanie from WonderFil – Threaducation 101

Let’s talk thread, the unsung hero of every handmade project. In this clear, confidence-boosting session, Stephanie from WonderFil takes us on a deep dive into the world of threads, answering the questions you didn’t even know you had.
