Fundamentals of Quiltmaking – A Must Class for Beginning Quilters

Kathy provided a clear outline for each week. We were provided with instructions on cutting out fabric to prepare samples of the blocks and techniques that were going to be demonstrated in the upcoming that class. We were also were encouraged to message any problems we were having or questions. Her responses were always timely and offered suggestions. We all proudly displayed our finished blocks for that session. We also were provided with additional resources.
I have been quilting for a few years but still referred to myself as a beginner. After this class I can walk through that door!
I can now do partial seams, flying geese, prairie points, a true 1/4 inch seam, and curves. Plus so much more.
I highly recommend this class.

All my Quiltster Questions Answered … And MORE!

Quiltster is a phenomenal tool.. and you made it even more useful for me in understanding the “sync” button and swapping out all fabrics from the print/fabric screen.
I wanted to let you know your approach to virtual teaching is total complete and truly well put together for your students success. Your use of PowerPoints and PDF electronic handouts all kept handy and accessible in an online folder add tremendous value to your classes.
I might add you come across very well in sharing compassionately with students of all levels of experience, keeping it fun and rewarding.
Thanks Kathy… Beautiful Kit! Great Class!

My Poinsettia table topper is sewn and ready to be quilted! Thank you Kathy for this beautiful kit as well as a great class!

Geese in Flight Placemats – Learn Paper-Piecing!

Learn paper piecing in this single three-hour live class. Gain the skills and confidence to tackle more complex Quiltworx wall and bed size paper pieced quilts. In honor of Flag Day and in preparation for the 4th of July, I’ve assembled a special Red, White and Blue themed kit that will make a four placemat set! Here’s the special offer. Buy the kit and sign up for the class before June 1, and I’ll include the class instruction and pattern for FREE!! You pay only for the fabric kit w/ shipping and receive the pattern and online live Zoom class (an additional $35 value) for no additional charge
Kit includes all fabrics for the tops of your placemats as well as the binding for 4 placemats. The geese will be red, blue and multi-color on a white background with the multi-colored fabric as your binding.
The Geese in Flight Placemats pattern is a Quiltworx/Cut Loose Press pattern and it utilizes Quiltworx Charm Elements to create fast, fun, projects and layouts aimed at both the new to paper-piecing quilter maker or those looking to venture out on their own.
In this class you’ll learn:
- How to read a Quiltworx Pattern.
- Trimming and preparing foundation papers and how Template Layout Sheets make fabric cutting prep a breeze!
- The fundamentals of paper piecing.
- A few of my favorite quiltmaking tools!
- The wonders of Quiltworx techniques — like floating points!
In the process you’ll create four great placemats just in time for your summer festivities!
Class Schedule
This class will meet live on Sunday June 13, from 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. in your sewing room! via Zoom! But you will have a pre-class video to watch — and a little pre-class prep-work!
This is an online class on the Zoom platform.
Because classes are on the interactive ZOOM platform – there is no packing up. No traffic. No lugging your machine in the rain. No travel. 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. Unlike typical online classes where you can only watch – with ZOOM you watch, listen, ask questions AND get answers right then and there. Unlike a typical classroom where students huddle around the instructor during demonstrations where you wrangle 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 view to see 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. All sessions are recorded so you can go back and revisit them as needed.
Kathy’s No UFO Guarantee
My guarantee to you is that I will be available via email, phone or video chat until your top is complete! If you get stuck or forget what you need to do — I’m here to support you and get you moving forward again.
Purchase your kit and register the for the class below. And do it by June 1 — and save the cost of the class!

Very thorough and knowledgeable teacher!

Here we are in a time when we can’t meet in person and there is a learning curve for everyone, but Kathy took it on and was able to succeed. I know she will see everyone through in completing their various projects. Kathy obviously is very comfortable teaching any class. Suggestions for Zoom would be to pre-record just the instructions for the day, and then take questions and open up for sewing, where appropriate. I really appreciate the instructions in the separate videos that were given after the fact. I would pay for classes that aren’t interactive, but are just the recordings. I’m sure I will take part in future classes.
Ready for the Next Step…

Kathy is a great instructor with lots of patience, I really appreciate her availability in between classes for help! (We “faced-timed” to troubleshoot when I got stuck!) She always had a fix when I messed up.
Thanks for a great class Kathy!
