Dresden Neighborhood for the Holidays

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.

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.

I’m so happy with the result!

With your explanations and videos, I learned how to read, divide, and assemble a Quiltworx pattern. Thanks for that!
What I really appreciated about the videos was the clear structure, your personal explanations and countless tips and tricks. Even when something went wrong, you guided us through it… what a huge help.
Thanks for all of your help!
Now I have to start quilting!
Fun instructor who teaches to all levels of skill

Just wanted to post a little note. I am very new to sewing and especially quilting. My friend, who lives in Indiana, asked me if I wanted to take a quilting class with her. So I did. Kathy was beyond fantastic. She is a true instructor who understands how not to overwhelm students who are trying to learn a new skill set. It was super fun, relaxing and I learned a lot. There were some very experienced quilters in the class who also learned a lot. I’ve already decided that I’m going to Shipshewana again next year (2025)!
Thanks for a fun week!

I had no idea how much I could do with Quiltster!

I just attended a fabulous Quiltster Zoom Class with Kathy of BobKat Quilts. I had no idea how much you can do with Quiltster. It was a full 4 hour class with hands on training.
Kathy explained the software so clearly. I had just signed up for Quiltster and had not used it before. I like the zoom format because now I can go back to the recording and review at my own pace. I am looking forward to coloring some quilts!
If you want to learn more about Quiltster, I highly recommend this class!
