The Searching for Beauty quilt is a reflection of Becky Goldsmith’s early response to the pandemic. While coping with the changes in all our lives, she searched for beauty and found inspiration in the shape of the virus itself. She happily offers the pattern and videos for FREE as her contribution to helping quilters create a memory quilt for this crazy time in our lives.

Becky starts with tips on color and design followed by a bonus lesson on preparing the half-square triangle background. Next, she gives clear instructions on hand and machine applique. Whether you make the entire quilt or use the blocks in other ways, you will create something beautiful from the unexpected also.

Excellent class and instructor. Good for beginners or experienced quilters who would like a review of the basics or who want to learn a few new tips. Great camera angles and pacing. A positive vibe throughout the entire class.

Always Supportive

Becky is not only a friend but one of the best teachers I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She is upbeat and always supportive of her students. She offers help and encouragement to everyone in her classes.

Becky gives clear and easy-to-follow instructions in class and she shows you exactly what you need to see to be successful. She listens to her students, and answers questions thoughtfully. Becky’s students finish class with big smiles on their faces and confidence in themselves.

CONFIDENCE-BUILDING

Becky is a warm, informal speaker, and at the same time very organized. We were impressed with her careful allotment of time to each phase of building our Bullseye panels, giving clear instruction, then having you come back together for each section to be fully explained and questions answered.

You come away with the confidence to finish your Bullseye, but also collect so many tips and suggestions from her life experience as an educator, author, and business owner.

A thoroughly positive experience!
