Kathy to the Rescue!

Never shy of a quilting challenge, I purchased a kit and began working on my first Judy Niemeyer quilt, Dinner Plate Dahlia. Everything went smoothly except for one small unit mid-pattern that I could not get my head around. While

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!!

Dresden Neighborhood for the Holidays

October 12, 2020 @ 9:30 am - 12:00 pm CDT
$90.00

Who’s Over My Neighborhood?

Isn’t this a fun holiday quilt? It’s fast, too! And other than the background – you probably have plenty of fabrics in your stash or scrap bin to construct your neighborhood!  A fusible appliqué project – it will go faster than you can imagine. And Santa and the reindeer will come with your pattern – pre-fused and pre-cut! I also will have kits available  precut / pre-fused (fabrics similar but not exactly matching the image or in your seasonal request). All you will need to add is your background fabric!  This is a fun quilt and you could easily adapt it to Halloween or leave the sky blue, add a waving flag and make it a patriotic neighborhood.  When you discover how easy these fun quilts are to make – and how quickly they go together… you’ll want to make several for gifts! And they are easy to quilt on your domestic machine – a simple stitch in the ditch around the applique – you’ll be able to finish them without needing the services of a long arm quilter!

BobKat’s Unique Online Courses

Join me and I will teach you everything you need to know – from the minute you register until your quilt top is complete. I’ll be there to support you and answer your questions! We’ll make sure you understand the Zoom platform first. Then if you are new to applique (or even if you are not!) we’ll discuss the steps for creating your own beautiful machine appliqué quilts.

Best Seat in the Room…

Because classes are on the ZOOM platform – there is no packing up. No lugging your machine in the rain, cold or snow. No travel – no hotel bills! You will be in your own bed every night. No worrying about social distancing or health risks. You will work from your own sewing room and have all your tools set up the way you like available to you. You can attend in your jammies with your coffee or Coke right next to your machine where it always sits! Unlike typical online classes where you can only watch – with ZOOM you watch, listen, ask questions AND get answers right then and there. Like the online classes, sessions are recorded so you can revisit them as needed. Unlike a typical classroom where students huddle around the instructor during demonstrations where you try to get a good view – EVERYONE has the same perfect view. I utilize multiple camera angles as well as PowerPoint and graphics to make sure you have the perfect look at exactly what you need to see to understand what it is you need to do. From lectures – to cutting to pressing to sewing – you’ll have the perfect view every time.

Course Schedule

Class Dates are as follows

  • Optional Using Zoom – Getting set up and ready to go! – email me and we will set up a one-on-one Zoom Intro before the first class!  
  • Class #1 – Monday, October 12   from 9:30 AM – 12:00 PM (CDT)
  • Class #2 – Monday, October 19  from 9:30 AM – 12:00 PM (CDT)

You’ll receive your supplies list and pattern and everything upon registration.

If you are a Zoom novice, or if you’re nervous about your equipment or set up,  we’ll make sure you understand how it all works before the actual quilting class begins.

Want to participate but you work during the day? Classes are recorded so you can watch them at your convenience – day or night. And I’m always available to answer questions outside of the actual class. An email, text or a quick video chat will get your questions answered!  I’ll be here for you!

My Promise to you – I will make myself available between class sessions should you have questions or need a little help along the way! You won’t be stuck and unable to proceed. I’ll only be an email or text message or video chat away.

A Great Value!

Your course fee of $90 includes the following:

  • All instructional classes
  • Santa holiday applique prefused ready to go
  • Dresden ruler
  • Dresden Neighborhood quilt pattern
  • On going support until your project is completed.

While I can reach hundreds with an online course, I keep my online class size limited so I can provide personal attention and support.   Don’t wait! Reserve your spot today!

Learning to piece Autumn Pines Quilt.

I give Kathy a five star rating. Her class was very informative, and interesting. She shared lots of tips and tricks which will help me on future Judy Niemeyer quilts to come. Thank-you for all your help Kathy!

A Confidence Booster!

I had never tackled anything like the Dinner Plate Dahlia before.  I was really skeptical whether I could do it, but Kathy made it do-able.  I really appreciate not only Kathy’s help and instruction, but especially her support!  Great class,

What a Great Class!

5 Stars on everything! She provided superb verbal descriptions of what we needed to do.  Then she was calm, consistent and helpful as we worked through the process.  I  really felt supported. It was just a great class!
