What is a Masterclass?
Master classes are classes taught by Jacqueline, who is an expert in quilting and teaching. Jacqueline would like to share her expertise with you by teaching a MasterClass. And who knows more about the BeColourful designs and patterns than the creator herself?
During a MasterClass, Jacqueline offers hands-on learning to a group of students. Complicated constructions are demonstrated and you get personal help if needed. There is time to ask questions and share knowledge both by the students among themselves and by Jacqueline. And of course there is also time for laughter and socializing. Together we create an inspiring, safe and joyful sewing session in which all participants are heard and seen.
?This enthusiasm is the basis for a great interactive experience where you can practice your skills and quilting techniques and deepen your knowledge. You get direct feedback and lots of tips and tricks from Jacqueline. You will learn a lot and it is an experience you will take with you. Very often, we see enthusiastic quilters return to the next MasterClass and bring friends along to enthuse them too about the BeColourful patterns and classes.

| Instructor: | Jacqueline de Jonge |
| Instructor Bio: | My quilting life began in 1978 when I saw a magazine picture of a Log Cabin-pattern quilt. Right away I had to try my hand at this fascinating work - my sister still has the resulting pink Log Cabin. Since then I have taught myself and tried over the years to reach a level of perfection, not to show off, but because I love the beauty I can achieve through my designs. My goal is to inspire quilters all over the world with beauty and color. I have always been creative, but quilting has hooked me. To be able to work well at something you love is a miracle and a gift from God. I started my BeColourful pattern line in the Netherlands in 2004. BeColourful is now a family owned and operated business in the United States since 2007. My quilts have been displayed worldwide and have won international awards. They are based on traditional designs but with a contemporary and colorful twist. In 2004 at the encouragement of my father I entered the Open European Quilt Championship and won the Color Trophy. Since that year I have lectured and conducted workshops throughout the United States, Canada, Australia and Europe. Interviews have been published in several magazines, and in 2011 I was profiled and featured on the Ricky Tims and Alex Anderson online Quilt Show. I think my passion for quilting helps make me an encouraging and personable teacher. I love to share my enthusiasm for my designs with others and to bring them to a different and higher level where they can find their own artistic skills. I also show my students that quilts that may seem difficult in a picture are actually not that hard after all. |
