Our Green Tea and Sweet Beans Jen Kingwell Block of the Month class has been such a beautiful journey!

Pamela took Jen Kingwell’s charming Green Tea and Sweet Beans quilt pattern and made it more sewing-machine friendly, guiding students through each block with confidence, creativity, and hands-on instruction.

Throughout this BOM class, students learned new techniques, explored fabric combinations, and brought their own personality into every block. Pamela’s teaching helped make the process approachable, encouraging, and fun from start to finish.

We loved hearing from our students, seeing their progress, and capturing all the amazing details that went into these quilts. Classes like this are what make our AVS sewing and quilting community so special.

Our BERNINA 990 Club class was such a great time!

Pamela led everyone through the final part of our special three-part series as they worked on finishing the piping for their beautiful quilted heirloom pillows. It was amazing seeing everyone learn, sew, and create together.

There’s a reason so many sewists have taken the leap and brought home the incredible BERNINA 990. It’s powerful, precise, and packed with creative features that help take sewing, quilting, and embroidery to the next level.

One of the best parts of our BERNINA 990 Club classes at AVS? We provide classroom machines for you, so you can leave yours safely at home and still enjoy hands-on learning in class. That’s a huge benefit you won’t find just anywhere!
