"Triangle School was a phenomenal learning experience for me!"
As a lifelong sewist but beginner quilter, I very much appreciate the thoughtfulness and organization of each lesson. I ended up making both a modern and a traditional version and love them both!
ERIN M.
"Both experienced quilters and newbies can walk away with new skills."
Triangle School is the perfect next level after BQA! The lessons are really thorough but totally understandable and casual. Brittany has a wonderful teaching style that makes it fun to tune in to each lesson.
KIM M.
"I absolutely LOVE how the quilt turned out!"
I Ioved this class so much! It was so helpful to go through each step with a visual in the videos. I learned that I had been making extra work for myself by doing cutting/trimming slightly wrong. I had several “Oh! That’s how you do it!” moments!
JAMIE C.
"Well worth the money! Awesome class!"
"I loved this class. I have been quilting for many years and learned so much. Brittany shared a lot of information and tricks. Hoping more classes will be offered!

Quilting has brought me so much joy, and I know it will do the same for you! This hobby is not only exciting and fun, but creating something with your hands is deeply fulfilling. Not to mention, connecting with others in the community is the icing on the cake! Quilts are meant to last for generations....in fact, I still use and love the quilts my grandmother made for me and my family. It makes me excited to think I'm also creating heirlooms that will be passed down in my family for many years to come. I hope you will join me in the course so we can create beautiful heirlooms together!
If we haven't already met, my name is Brittany and I am the owner, designer and educator behind Lo & Behold Stitchery. I have been designing quilt patterns since 2017 and teaching online quilting classes since 2021. Before quilting, I was a Neonatal ICU nurse for 7+ years, where I especially enjoyed the teaching aspect of the role. It was here that I discovered my love for meeting others where they are to transform their skillset and knowledge in a way that may not initially seem possible.
Now, as a online educator and designer, I am honored to have a similar role in the lives of others. We've had thousands of students go through our online quilting courses and the transformation is always so inspiring. Through bite-size lessons and thoughtful curriculum, I have put so much care and thought into our program and I would love to see you inside!
