Classes
Barb Rubio, brings a unique perspective to Hawaii’s quilting community. She is continually honing her skills to share knowledge through clubs and classes. Collaborating with professional educators ensures she always has new knowledge to apply in future clubs and classes, this is why no two class are ever the same. Every class is a unique experience, allowing you to build skills or explore new design ideas and incorporate them into your quilting style. What sets Barb’s classes apart is the value of conversation, facilitated with open dialogue that leads to a wealth of fresh ideas and insights, following the path of the quilters attending. This allows quilters to take the same class repeatedly because the content changes to meet each groups interests and skills.

Longarm Retreat
What makes a retreat different from a session? It’s akin to the distinction between a spa visit and a simple massage, or a boutique shopping experience versus a department store browse. It’s all about the immersive experience and the personalized attention, where you feel truly pampered and cared for. Picture this: You’re picked up from the airport, your hotel, or even your home, so you can relax and leave the driving to us. Upon arrival, you’re greeted with your favorite drink and snack as we review the day’s agenda. Then, it’s like stepping into a fashion show, with fabrics and threads carefully curated from Barb’s collection, each chosen for their unique colors and styles that capture the essence of Hawaii. After a leisurely lunch break to reflect on the morning’s session, we delve into the afternoon project, ensuring you leave with a sense of accomplishment, handouts to guide you, and of course, a delightful gift bag to top it all off.
