QSBS beyond the bits
What is...?
Shelly's "Beyond the Bits" came to be due to having the same conversation, repeatedly, with customers about piecing and how it can affect quilting.
Shelly centers her workshops and lectures around this idea and saying she created.
Think Beyond the Bits
It applies to Piecers and Longarmers.
- Piecers: consider how the steps taken during the piecing process will affect the end result of your finished quilt. What does the quilt want it to be when it grows up?
- Longarmers: even before loading project (top, batting, backing), really look at the bits to help determine what type of panto the quilt needs. What's its purpose?

In-Person Event: "Beyond the Bits" with Shelly Moore
This in-person workshop offers a unique and fun blend of interactive learning and education tailored for both piecers and longarm quilters. Explore the connection between piecing and longarming while addressing common challenges and techniques to enhance our quilting projects. The session includes about an hour educational presentation followed by discussion, Q&A opportunities, and practical insights to elevate our quilt-making skills. Attendees are encouraged to bring their questions and a quilt-related item for a comprehensive learning experience
- (e.g. finished or partially-finished quilt block, finished but unquilted top/flimsy, finished quilt, or whatever quilt-related item you may have wanted to ask a professional longarmer about...QSBS's BTB is your chance!).
This workshop is for quilters (in general) and not specific to only piecers or longarmers/quilters, but for both! Again, this workshop is about the connection between piecing and quilting and learning to think BEYOND THE BITS.
