Barb is the author of Listen to Your Quilt from C&T Publishing. Barb introduces four simple steps which will help you decide what type of quilting is best for your quilt.

Here's what Barb has to say, "For the past 12 years I have been a professional quilter and have quilted for a variety of clients. I developed a 4-step approach that I use for every quilt to plan and design the most complimentary quilting choices."

Now Barb is in the TQS classroom and she is going to walk you through those four steps during a series of eight weekly lessons.

• Lesson 1 - An Introduction to Listen to Your Quilt
• Lesson 2 - Determine the Category of your quilt (Step 1)
• Lesson 3 - Determine the Intended Use of your quilt (Step 2)
• Lesson 4 - Determine how much quilting is needed to enhance your quilt (Step 3)
• Lesson 5 - Learn about allover quilting designs (Step 3)
• Lesson 6 - Learn about partial custom quilting (Step 3)
• Lesson 7 - Learn about heirloom and show quilting (Step 3)
• Lesson 8 - Learn about thread choices for your quilt (Step 4)
