Fabulous teacher, she really cares about your quilt project

I  highly recommend Kathy’s zoom classes. She is very thorough in her instructions. I took the poinsettia class and was extremely pleased. She answers any questions you have either during the online class or later via email or chat very

I learned a LOT!

I have special needs children and really needed a 2-day respite, but the pace was faster than I expected, so I didn’t get much rest!    The videos you shared ahead of the retreat were a life-saver!  However, with that

Courage to Try!

I took a class from Kathy last year.   It was the Bali Wedding Star.  I made it for my daughter and son in law. On a lark I entered it in our local guilds quilt show. I won viewers choice

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

Zoom Class – Much Better than in Person!

I purchased a Dinner Plate Dahlia quilt kit awhile back and I realized had no idea how to make that quilt. Then I found Kathy’s zoom class. I was so glad I took her class. She’s an excellent instructor. Very

Kathy is a Great Teacher!

Kathy provided clear detailed instruction that did not assume we had ever used that technique before.  We never felt talked down to.  Her class was EXCELLENT !   I know  — I took home finished parts! Thank you Kathy

Your explanation of “Judy’s way” was very clear and easy to understand!

Your explanation of  “Judy’s way” of paper piecing was very clear and easy to understand. You had some good tips to make it easier too. I liked having the card with the step-by-step process you could have in front of
