Everything You Need to Know

Meet Your Hosts & Instructors

Wanda Kringle

What started as a hobby quickly became a passion. For years, Wanda has gathered with her quilting friends—better known as Wanda's Wild Bunch—to sew, laugh, learn, and create beautiful quilts together.

Those friendships helped inspire the creation of My Sister's Sewing Sanctuary, where she now hosts creative retreats designed to bring people together through quilting and sewing.

During the Variety Show Retreat, Wanda will teach the Sanctuary Star Quilt Block and co-teach the Fabric Collage project. She loves helping quilters build confidence, learn new skills, and enjoy the friendships that make every retreat special.

Sherri Ratliff

Sherri enjoys exploring a wide variety of sewing and quilting techniques and believes there's always something new to learn. She loves creating a welcoming environment where guests can relax, laugh, and enjoy learning together.

During the Variety Show Retreat, Sherri will teach guests how to create a Personalized Notebook Cover and introduce the timeless art of English Paper Piecing (Hexagons). Her patient, encouraging style makes every project approachable and fun.

Larissa Lindow

Larissa enjoys combining creativity with technology to help makers personalize their projects in unique ways. She has a passion for graphic design, embroidery, and finding creative solutions that bring ideas to life.

During the Variety Show Retreat, Larissa will lead One-on-One Logo Design Sessions, helping each guest create a custom logo for a project signature. She'll also provide optional embroidery support, helping guests prepare and stitch their new logo onto a project during the retreat.
