Fundamentally Wonderful!
I would definitely take another course through zoom, as I still have so much to learn.
Great group instructor…AND personal follow up!
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.

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, March 10th — we’ll start sewing!
Friday, March 24th — more sewing — including curved piecing and assembly
Class with pattern included: $125.00

Table Topper Finished! – King size planned!
I finally found all the pieces that were packed away when the hurricane tore the roof off of the sewing room. It got very wet and had a little color bleed- but, that’ll be part of the memory! Once the building rebuild is completed, (slow going due to COVID and wide spread damages supply and demand) I plan to make the king size quilt in same pattern.
Thank you Kathryn Eifert Groves of BobKat Quilts for the ZOOM class!! I didn’t have the knowledge until your class!!
Definitely doing this again with Kathy.
I was nervous
I was nervous before I started the Fractured Star quilt class. Kathy made made it easy! I loved the step by step instructions. Maybe the Vintage Rose is next!
