I wish I had met Leslie Yale back when I first started quilting! Fortunately, better late than never. I took the Passport to the Mountains class at Peak to Peak Stitching (August 30, 2025) and it was excellent in all regards. Leslie Yale was wonderful and witty with years of quilting excellence to share with us. She was well-prepared! Easels with stitching examples spanned the room. She taught us all about half-square triangles and quarter half-square triangles, and how to easily intersect the fabrics with her method of "nesting". She even provided alternate quilt lay-outs for the mirror image quilt with the quilt taught in the class. The kit for the class was expertly curated with bearutiful colors from the Stonehenge fabrics and perfectly cut as well (packaged nicely with the pattern in color). As I understand, this class was the final in a series of beginning quilting that she taught. I'm no beginner, but I benefitted greatly from her teaching methods, and will sign up again, when the series resumes in the near future. As for the shop, it is a gem. The staff is warm and welcoming with whatever you want or need. It is flooded with colors and quilts of mostly natural landscapes. It makes you feel good when you walk in. The classroom was picturesque and well-lit with large windows looking out in the surrounding landscape. Coffee, tea, chocolate included! I highly recommend this shop and Leslie Yale. Thank you, Peak to Peak Stitching! read more
