Lots of Shortcuts…

I loved Kathy’s enthusiasm!. The class eval didn’t go high enough — it topped out at “Outstanding”. I learned lots of shortcuts. The class was challenging because I tend to be slower sewing in a group.

Kathy is the instructor to help you make a beautiful keepsake quilt!

If you are even thinking about this, (commenting on the Quiltworx Star Course) I can assure you that Kathy is the instructor to help you make a beautiful keepsake quilt. She helped me tackle the Dinner Plate Dahlia.  She is

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!!

Diamond Wedding Star by Quiltworx – Live Zoom Series

December 20, 2025 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm CST
$159.00 – $254.00

This is a quilt I’ve long wanted to make!  Now is the time!

The Diamond Wedding Star finishes at 96″ x 99″.  You can do the piecing only — which allows for exquisite quilting to highlight your piecing.  Or you can add applique to add another layer of beauty to your quilt.  Go holiday (I’ll be doing my applique in reds for a Poinsettia & Holly look) or go beautiful spring, summer or fall colors!  Any color combination you choose this quilt will be a stunner!

The quilt is build to use one of Judy’s 2 1/2″ strip sets (I have many colorways available) or you can create your own!  The intro class will explain fully how to color and coordinate your fabric purchases to create the quilt of your dreams.  The pattern is also available in Quiltster.  (Never used Quiltster before?  Purchase my one demand Quiltster class and you’ll be up to speed in no time at all.)

Classes meet LIVE on Saturday morning for a discussion and explanation of your upcoming homework.  Separate instructional sewing videos will detail the actual techniques required to sew each component and through the assembly process.

Choose to add applique to your quilt — or just do the piecing!  It’s up to you.  Instruction will be provided for both applique options:  traditional machine applique using Judy’s applique products OR choose machine digitized embroidery applique using the Fabric Confetti Software.  The differences and options will be discussed in the intro class session.

Patterns / Applique if purchases will be shipped early-mid November.  Patterns & applique are discounted with purchase through me!

Live class sessions will be recorded — so you’ll never miss a moment.

All classes are on Saturdays and start at 10:00 AM – and will run 60-90 minutes (as long as needed).  RESERVE YOUR SPOT BEFORE THANKSGIVING AND SAVE $25.00  USE COUPON CODE   TURKEY.

I really appreciated the detailed instructions!

One of the most helpful classes I’ve taken.  Great instructions, both written and verbal,  made it easy to follow along. I never felt lost.

Quiltster Class – I earned SO MUCH!

Just had a great zoom class learning how to navigate Quiltster with Kathryn Groves from BobKat Quilts.  I learned so much!   Great class to take.
