****************************************

Lynda Brooks brings a lifelong passion for sewing and quilting to her work as an instructor. Raised in a creative household, she learned to sew at an early age while watching her mother teach Stretch and Sew classes from their home during the introduction of double-knit polyester. This early foundation fostered an experience that sparked both her skills and her appreciation for the craft.

Since beginning her quilting journey in 2003, Lynda has developed experience across a variety of styles, including log cabin, French braid, feathered star, bargello, and curved quilting techniques. For Lynda, quilting is all about taking pieces of fabric and turning them into something meaningful and lasting.

Following her retirement in 2020, Lynda expanded her involvement in the quilting community by volunteering at WillnBee’z Quilt and Coffee Shop, where she helps with fabric display, kit preparation, sample creation, and class instruction. Her hands-on experience ranges from quilt construction to tote bags and jelly roll rugs. Her particular interest in the beauty and movement of curved ruler designs led her to become a certified Sew Kind of Wonderful instructor in May 2024.

Known for her thoughtful and supportive teaching style, Lynda enjoys helping quilters build confidence and skill by creating a relaxed, welcoming space for learning. She continues to grow her offerings, with plans to introduce zipper bag classes and kits.

Moon Dance Revival with Lynda Brooks, National Teacher (14 Sep 2026)

Mon, 14 Sep 2026 15:00:00 GMT

Join certified instructor Lynda Brooks for a two-day class to make the Moon Dance Revival quilt. Lynda will teach attendees curved cutting and piecing using the Sew Kind of Wonderful's QCR Mini Ruler, quick curve mini ruler. You can read Lynda's bio on the Trunk Show and Lecture event details held Sunday, September 13.

Moon Dance Revival is a beautiful exploration of color, movement, and curved piecing. Designed with a mix of warm and cool tones set against varied neutral backgrounds, this quilt offers endless opportunities to play with color and texture. In this two-day class, students will build confidence using the Sew Kind of Wonderful Mini Curve Ruler through a simple, approachable method—no pins, no center matching, and no snipping seams. Just cut, sew, and square up. This class is ideal for advanced beginners ready to expand their skills and explore the fun of curved piecing in a supportive, encouraging environment.

This is a two-day class. Day one focuses on practicing curved cutting with scraps, constructing the three core blocks used in the quilt, then transitioning to cutting and creating curved blocks with your fabrics.

Day two shifts to color placement and layout, where you’ll begin assembling sections of your quilt and bringing your unique Moon Dance vision to life.

Preorders for the pattern ($9) and mini ruler ($15.99) are available at Havasu Quilts. Orders require a 50% deposit or full payment upon ordering. Contact Kim directly to place an order.

You can also order from Lynda Brooks. She has the pattern for $12, ruler for $19, and a kit for $130. The kit is fabric only. Photos of the kit choices will be in the registration confirmation email. If you would like to order directly from Lynda, please email AJ no later than June 26, 2026, so Lynda has time to construct your kit.

Please purchase your own pattern and do not share.

Setup for classes begins at 8:00 a.m. Please do not arrive earlier than 8:00 a.m. Attendees are welcome to break for lunch at their convenience.
