Triple Stitch Collective is a collaboration between three powerhouse quilting educators—Gyleen Fitzgerald, Latifah Saafir, and Geraldine Wilkins—who bring decades of expertise in quilting, design, and instruction. Each is a leader in her own right: Gyleen, an award-winning designer and author, is known for her bold geometric piecing and fearless use of color. Latifah, a modern quilting pioneer, pushes creative boundaries with innovative quilt designs and sewing tools. Geraldine, a machine quilting specialist, empowers quilters through her expertise in free-motion and ruler quilting technique and design. Together, they create immersive, skill-building experiences that go beyond traditional workshops.

“We are three unique voices in quilting, but when we come together, we create something powerful—an experience that challenges, inspires, and transforms,” shares Gyleen.

At Triple Stitch Collective, our goal is to elevate, educate, and empower quilters of all levels through in-person retreats, quilting cruises, virtual events, and educational programs that blend design, technique, and creative expression. Our workshops and courses are designed to push creative boundaries while providing expert instruction in a supportive, engaging environment.

“Quilting is more than just stitching fabric—it’s about building confidence, telling stories, and embracing new challenges,” Latifah explains.

Whether it’s an online Mystery Quilt Sew-Along, a hands-on quilting retreat, or a once-in-a-lifetime cruise, Triple Stitch Collective experiences are designed to inspire growth and connection.

“Quilters leave our events not just with new skills, but with a renewed sense of creative energy,” Geraldine emphasizes.
