Try ideas without the pressure

A practice space

Try ideas without the pressure

The HIVE is a place to try ideas without pressure, make color and design decisions with support, and build confidence by making real quilts, one guided step at a time.

In 2027, we're taking practice off the paper and into fabric. With Guided Mini Quilt Practice, you'll make your own one-of-a-kind Controlled Improv mini quilts. With the Paint by Number Quilt Along, you can sew a full quilt with me, step by step.

You're not here to rush. You're here to practice.

How we engage here

Not just a "So pretty!" group

  • We use specific language.
  • We learn design controls.
  • We give thoughtful feedback.

Instead of “I love it!” you might hear:

“Your contrast is strong here.”
“Try adjusting repetition.”
“Your layout has clear hierarchy.”

We support each other by helping each other grow.

FAQs

How much does HIVE+ cost?

Visit the HIVE+ page for current monthly and annual pricing. Whatever rate is listed there when you join is the rate you keep, for as long as you stay subscribed.

If I join now, will my price ever go up?

No. As long as you remain an active HIVE+ member without a gap in your subscription, your rate stays the same for as long as you are with us, even if pricing for new members changes in the future.

What happens if I cancel and want to come back later?

If you cancel and rejoin at a later date, you will rejoin at whatever the current HIVE+ rate is at that time. Your original rate is tied to staying continuously subscribed.

What is included in HIVE+?

Everything in the free HIVE, plus Guided Mini Quilt Practice three times a year, the 2027 Paint by Number Quilt Along Pass, Open Hive sessions, color and layout feedback directly from Mitzie, access to all Jittery Wings courses, free shipping on all Jittery Wings orders, and early registration for in-person events, including retreats, before they open to the public.

What is Guided Mini Quilt Practice?

Three times in 2027, we make a mini quilt together, each focusing on a new technique: Triangles, Curves, and Foundation Paper Piecing. We meet live for an hour to learn, then you have a few weeks between sessions to work on the next step. Can’t make it live? Every session has a replay.

Is the Paint by Number Quilt Along included?

Yes! The Quilt Along Pass, with monthly videos, occasional LIVES, feedback, giveaways, and the big October reveal, is included with your HIVE+ membership. You’ll just need to purchase the Paint by Number pattern separately.

How does the free shipping benefit work?

As an active HIVE+ member, shipping is free on every order placed on jitterywingsquiltco.com, with no minimum purchase required. This applies automatically at checkout when you are logged in with the email associated with your HIVE+ membership. If the code doesn't automatically apply, please reach out to us, and we will correct it.

How does early event registration work?

HIVE+ members receive registration links to retreats and other in person events before they are shared publicly. You will be notified by email as a HIVE+ member ahead of any public announcement.

Can I switch between the monthly and annual plan?

Yes, though switching plans may affect your locked in rate depending on timing. If you have questions about your specific situation, reach out and we are happy to walk through it with you.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. HIVE+ is a month to month or year to year membership with no long term contract. You can cancel anytime from your account settings.
