What Is a Kimberbell Event — And Why You Should Come!

If you've ever scrolled through a quilting group online and seen photos of gorgeous embroidered pillows, table runners, and seasonal décor with the caption "just finished my Kimberbell project!" — and thought, what exactly IS a Kimberbell event? — you're in the right place.

We're breaking it all down, and we have some very exciting news to share along the way.

What Is Kimberbell?
Kimberbell is a beloved machine embroidery and quilting brand known for its stunningly designed project kits, embroidery blanks, and seasonal collections. What sets Kimberbell apart is the sheer joy built into everything they create — think patriotic pillows, holiday table toppers, birthday banners, and baby gifts that look like they came from a boutique but were made entirely by you.

Their designs are thoughtfully crafted for a range of skill levels, and their kits come with everything you need to get started — which makes them especially popular for beginner machine embroiderers and seasoned stitchers alike.

So What Happens at a Kimberbell Event?
A Kimberbell event is a guided, project-based class — hosted by a certified Kimberbell retailer — where participants work through a curated collection of Kimberbell projects in a single fun-filled session. Here's what you can typically expect:

  • A complete project kit with Kimberbell embroidery blanks, fabrics, and materials
  • Step-by-step instruction guided by an experienced teacher
  • Community and connection — you're stitching alongside fellow quilters and sewists
  • Finished projects you'll actually use and treasure — not just samples

It's part class, part celebration, and honestly? Part therapy. There's something deeply satisfying about walking in with a kit and walking out with something beautiful.

Why You Should Come (Even If You're New to Machine Embroidery)
We hear it all the time: "I've always wanted to try machine embroidery but I don't know where to start." A Kimberbell event is honestly one of the best entry points there is. Here's why:

  • The kit does the heavy lifting. No hunting for materials or guessing on thread colors — it's all curated for you.
  • You learn by doing. There's no better way to get comfortable with your embroidery machine than working through a real project with guidance.
  • The projects are genuinely beautiful. These aren't practice samples. They're display-worthy, gift-worthy pieces you'll be proud to show off.
  • The community makes it special. In-store events at The Sewing Gallery are always full of laughter, inspiration, and the kind of creative energy that's hard to find anywhere else.
  • Can't make it in person? No problem. Our virtual option means you can participate from anywhere — at your own pace, in your own space.
