Milk Thistle (and variation) Placemats – by Quiltworx – Zoom Class
February 24, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 12:30 pm CST
$99.00 – $125.00
If you are new to paper piecing and/or Quiltworx patterns — then this is a perfect start! We will not only sew the actual cover pattern — but I’ll also teach how you can modify the pattern to create the beautiful variation seen in the black/white pacemats! Papers for 6 placemats are included with your pattern.
Lots to learn in a fun, quick project:
- how to read Quiltworx patterns/papers
- how to prepare your papers, bags, fabrics
- fundamentals of paper piecing
- curved piecing
- the benefits of smart corners / TRP’s
- Quiltworx stacking technique
- and more!!
The Zoom Class series will have 3 live sessions — each on Friday mornings — from 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM Central. That time doesn’t work for you — then just catch up with the recorded version. With all of my Zoom classes — the recordings will remain accessible to you for at least 6 months (and usually much longer!) And I’m there for you from start to your last stitch! Whether it’s a quick email answer, a phone call or a 1-on-1 Zoom session — I’ll make sure you cross the finish line.
This pattern is appropriate for all quiltmakers — from confident beginners to seasoned quilters! Let me share with you the many tips, tricks and techniques I’ve learned through my 20 years of quilt making and the over 100 Quiltworx quilts I’ve created! I’ll also teach how to modify the pattern to create the beautiful variation seen in the black and white placemats. I won’t let this project end up on your UFO pile!
Classes meet on Fridays, 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM on Zoom (just like watching a YouTube video — except you can ask questions live!) I’ve included sewing time between the classes so you can make good progress between sessions. Also included will be several hours of pre-recorded sessions to help fill-in-the-blanks with reading the pattern, understanding the papers, cutting and bagging your fabrics and more! I also make available a number of specialized Technique videos so you can master those Quiltworx techniques!
Friday, February 24th — Intro to the pattern, papers, fabrics and the prep
Friday, March 10th — we’ll start sewing!
Friday, March 24th — more sewing — including curved piecing and assembly
Class with pattern included: $125.00

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!
