Dear Quilters and Friends,
Now, you can join me on my Facebook page. There is more action since December 2012.
Check out my Videos For Quilters Website and my YouTube channel. There are some free video clips available.
As you might know, I am planning to stay very focused on teaching for few more years to come. Buying my own machines and a big truck to transport them all along with other class equipment and supplies, allows me to be more flexible & independent. I have a very strong desire to provide the highest quality of a learning experience to my students.

Please be patient. It takes a couple of minutes to download these large PDF files.
The benefits for my students:
1. The reduced class size from 6-12 students, allows more attention for each student. Using 6 Gammill Premier on 3 tables makes 1-2 students per machine.
2. All of my quilts are displayed in a classroom [27 quilts and 30 miniature quilts] with no restrictions for photography
3. No rush to leave the classroom after the class. There is 1 hour break between classes and students can stay a little longer after the last class for the day is over.
4. In case of private workshops, students can benefit from the presentation of my work in form of a lecture/trunk show which usually takes place after hours.

Irena Bluhm Productions/Videos For Quilters is my brand new business.
My Videos For Quilters website has been launched on April 18th 2012. Annual subscription are not yet available, but we are working on it as we speak.
Check out my Free Video Library on YouTube
Six new DVD's are ready for shipping:
1. The Magic of Color Application
2. Bluhminator #1-Background Designs
3. Background Designs for Advanced
4. Bluhminator #2-Formal Feathers
This website has been created to serve multiple purposes: to keep in touch with my students and my fans, to have a place where they can ask questions and get answers about my products and techniques, to keep them informed about my workshops, and to generally provide information that they might be interested in.
The quilting world is all about sharing and support. All of us like to show what we do and share information with other quilters around the world.
Feel free to check out my traveling schedule, visit the Gallery, the Store, the Blog, take a close look at my products, or sign up for an E-Newsletter.
Inquiries about Quilt Guild presentations and private workshops are welcome. Since I have a very busy schedule, planning far in advance is necessary. Arranging a very busy schedule for 2013 and 2014 is already in works.
For more information and schedule availability contact: bluhmirena@yahoo.com
This website will be evolving over time. More content will be added as more new items are in the process of production.
