About The Academy of Quilting

The Academy of Quilting brings you the joy of learning quilting, applique & patchwork in the comfort of your home with online quilting classes.

The Academy of Quilting was created in 2008. The purpose of this quilting online classroom is to help the beginner to advanced quilter create wonderful quilts with the ease of having one on one instruction with the teacher. Ruth Blanchet, having been teaching for many years, has constructed this program with great care and patience. Ruth pays much attention to detail and ease of learning skills to better your experience. The Academy enables you, the student, to enroll and gain the benefits of online learning at a tuition fee competitive to other classes but with more care and guidance. Come join the many who are signing up for our quilt classes.

In the Academy of Quilting you will find:

  • Detailed instructions enhanced with photographs and video
  • Online presentation of your work along with other students
  • A Discussion Forum to ask your questions and learn from questions other students ask
  • The opportunity to meet other students from around the world
  • Classes that are competitively priced and unsurpassed in quality
  • Preview: To give you an idea of what goes on in our classrooms, we have a preview to show you some clips taken directly from our class. Check out our online class preview here...

    We have two types of class environments at the Academy of Quilting: Scheduled classes and one-on-one learning.

    1. Scheduled classes are run at a set date. Most classes have two sessions each year. When you register for a scheduled class, you will be given the start date. Within 48 hours of the start date you will be sent a password to access the classroom, which includes classroom forum, galleries and dates when lessons open. Other students are also registered for these classes. They will also be sharing the same class information, adding their photos in the gallery and asking questions in the classroom forum for you to see. You have access to the classroom as long as it is open, 24/7. The length of the class depends on the amount of lessons it has. All classes are a minimum of four weeks long and remain open three weeks after the last lesson is posted.

    2. One-to-one learning classes are run at any time you wish to commence them. These classes only involve you and the teacher. There are no other students. You will have all the same information as you get for scheduled classes with the exception you do not have a forum. All communication is done directly with the teacher on a one-to-one basic via email. You have the option of receiving all lessons at the beginning or receiving each lesson one at a time as each is completed. Class start time is set by you as long as the date is acceptable to our teacher.
