Table Topper Finished! – King size planned!

I finally found all the pieces that were packed away when the hurricane tore the roof off of the sewing room. It got very wet and had a little color bleed- but, that’ll be part of the memory! Once the building rebuild is completed, (slow going due to COVID and wide spread damages supply and demand) I plan to make the king size quilt in same pattern.
Thank you Kathryn Eifert Groves of BobKat Quilts for the ZOOM class!! I didn’t have the knowledge until your class!!
Quitworx Class #5 and I still learned new tips!

Thank you for the marvelous Poinsettia class! This was my 5th Quiltworx retreat. I took the class to learn about Zoom. The added bonus was the several tips you gave us to make things a little easier!
Wonderful Class – Talented Instructor

The Best Little Quilt Retreat in Texas!

Join me in October in south-central Texas for a rural, rustic Texas-style Quilt Retreat at the Texas Quilt Barn in LaGrange, Texas. Although the city name was changed to protect the guilty, there was a Broadway musical and a 1982 film based on the infamous history of a certain poultry-related establishment that once existed in LaGrange — hence the name of this retreat. The Texas Quilt Barn is located centrally between Houston, San Antonio and Austin (approximately 1 hour from AUS – Austin Bergstrom International Airport – shuttle service is available, let me know well ahead of the event).
The sewing room is spacious, well lit with each quiltmaker having two 4’ wooden tables (L shaped!), design walls, and comfy rolling office chairs! While meals are provided — there is also a full kitchen so you can create your own snacks or meals (email me if you have dietary restrictions that need to be observed – we’ll discuss options). Relaxing seating area for handwork or just visiting with each other. WiFi is also readily available.
Pattern options: Work on Carnival Flower – the newest Quiltworx Technique of the Month Quilt, Arctic Star or Andromeda (and receive access to full Zoom series at no additional cost!) Or bring your own pattern(s) to work on. I’ll help you with any Quiltworx pattern – or any pattern for that matter if I can! From Wedding Ring Quilts to those with appliqué to whatever Quiltworx pattern or kit you have lingering on your shelf – I’ll help you get going!
Registration fee is all inclusive and includes the following:
- Sewing Room Facility from Tuesday noon to Saturday at 2:00 PM
- 4 nights dormitory style lodging (2 or 3 to a room max)
- 10 meals (breakfasts, lunches, and dinners – 1 night dinner on your own)
- Instructional support from your arrival to your departure – Quiltworx technique demonstrations and lessons throughout the week – including Quiltworx Appliqué Technique!
- Quiltster workshop (3 hours) (for anyone interested! – suggest having your own Quiltster Account)
- Trunk Show featuring Quiltworx Quilts
- Texas Quilt Museum Tour
- Quilt shop on site (and coupons for other shops nearby)
- Snacks, door prizes and so much more!
- Airport shuttle service can be provided!
- Machine rental — we’ll need to chat — it is possible but we’ll need to make special arrangements.
Space is limited – so place your deposit to hold your spot now — and finish paying by the end of August. Bring a friend and plan to make many more! October on the edge of Texas Hill Country is beautiful! Plan to sew (AND LAUGH!) a lot!

I was nervous

I was nervous before I started the Fractured Star quilt class. Kathy made made it easy! I loved the step by step instructions. Maybe the Vintage Rose is next!
Couldn’t have done it without BobKat Quilts….

Finished my first JN quilt top last week. Go big or go home, right? I really couldn’t have done it without the guidance of BobKat Quilts online class. Now, I am hooked and have two more JN quilts planned!!
Fundamentally Wonderful!

I would definitely take another course through zoom, as I still have so much to learn.
