Great class, Can’t wait to take another!

She was very patient, she didn’t ‘over-teach’.  She’d let me try a new technique, but she would catch me before I made a serious mistake by asking me to explain what I was going to do next.   This really

Friendly, Knowledgable, Nice and Very Helpful…

Kathy is very nice and friendly. She helped me a lot at Quiltworx University. She is very knowledgeable with Judy Niemeyer quilts.

A Confidence Booster!

I had never tackled anything like the Dinner Plate Dahlia before.  I was really skeptical whether I could do it, but Kathy made it do-able.  I really appreciate not only Kathy’s help and instruction, but especially her support!  Great class,

Paradise in Blooms – Quiltworx Pattern – Zoom Class

November 6, 2021 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm CDT
$30.00 – $450.00

Introduced in 2015 – PARADISE IN BLOOMS – is a favorite of many Quiltworx quilt makers!  This gorgeous quilt can be finished in two sizes:  Wall (76” x 76”) or Queen (97” x 97”).    With a touch of appliqué, this Technique of the Month quilt will allow you to learn many of those techniques that make Quiltworx patterns special.  And because of those techniques — like all Quiltworx quilts — anyone with the confidence to start — I’ll make sure you can finish!

This pattern (at this time) is NOT Quiltster compatible. ☹  But I can work with you to identify the units and fabric ID’s so if you can visualize your quilt – you’ll know exactly what you need in the way of fabrics to make it. And I can help with the FABRIC ID’s so you can integrate it with your pattern.   You would want to purchase a “PIB Color Consultation” – but understand that we will NOT be working within the Quiltster software – but within the outlines and tables that I will have drawn up.  I will also provide a “coloring page” that you can print out, grab your colored pencils, and design away.

DO NOT LET THE APPLIQUÉ  make you steer clear of this pattern.  Judy’s appliqué  technique is very beginner friendly.  I will help you master the art of appliqué  on your domestic machine OR you can use your embroidery machine with the digitized designs that are sold separately.

Mark your calendars now.  The plan will be to introduce the quilt in November, meet once in December to address fabrics, cutting, bagging…  — all the things you need to know to get ready.  We’ll address the one major section the QUEEN quilt makers might want to get a head start on.   Then we will all enjoy the holidays.  Come January, we will start meeting regularly over the next 3 months.  As always, classes will be recorded and made available for many months after the class concludes.  So you can’t miss a thing!

And don’t forget the BobKat Guarantee – “I’m here for you until your quilt top is complete!”  Period!   email, text, phone or even a 1-on-1 zoom.  I will help get you to the finish line!

So sign up today to reserve your spot!  Then sit back and relax until late summer when you’ll hear back from me to get you started on your quilt planning!  Questions?  Just email me at kathy@bobkatquilts.com!

In the meantime – check out all of the great classes we have going all spring and summer!

All Classes are CENTRAL TIME:  (I sometimes run long — but we’ll do what it takes to make sure everything you need to know to continue is covered!)

Saturday, November 6 — 10:00 – Noon  (general pattern intro / info)

Saturday, December 18 — 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM (fabrics/cutting/bagging and more)

Kathy was exceptional to make sure no student was left behind!

The Zoom class was a great way to teach and the cameras were positioned to really see what she was teaching. The nice thing about the recorded classes is the ability to re-watch tricky areas of the sewing. It really

Lots of Shortcuts…

I loved Kathy’s enthusiasm!. The class eval didn’t go high enough — it topped out at “Outstanding”. I learned lots of shortcuts. The class was challenging because I tend to be slower sewing in a group.
