Couldn’t recommend more highly !!!

I have done a little paper piecing in the past and enjoyed it, but have learned so much from Kathy that future endeavors will be so much better! I love the fact that the classes were recorded enabling me to

Quitworx Class #5 and I still learned new tips!

Thank you for the marvelous Poinsettia class! This was my 5th Quiltworx retreat. I took the class to learn about Zoom. The added bonus was the several tips you gave us to make things a little easier!

From “No Way” to Success and Comraderie!

This was a great experience. I would never have had the nerve to try this on my own. When I first opened the pattern I almost said no way. The only thing that kept me from backing out was knowing

Poinsettia – Zoom Class Series – A great first Quiltworx Quilt

September 27, 2022 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm CDT

$65.00 – $89.00

Small Quilt –  Big Learning

This beautiful small quilt is perfect for your tables, your walls and make extraordinary gifts!  They are quilt patterns that with proper instruction every quilt-maker can make!

In a few short classes you will learn how to navigate Quiltworx quilt patterns, how to choose fabrics for Quiltworx quilts and the fundamentals of paper piecing as well as curved piecing the Quiltworx way! These skills will lay a great foundation for future quilt projects. You’ll be amazed at how quickly these beautiful quilts go from start to finish!   A Quiltworx pattern — this foundation paper pieced table topper finishes at 30″ — either round or square!!  It’s quick to make, quick to quilt and quick to bind.  That makes it a perfect quilt to gift to family and friends (or keep for yourself!!).  Make them in colors to match your decor — or seasonal — spring, summer, fall, winter or holiday!  They are so pretty you’ll want one for every season!

The Best Seat in the Room…

Because classes are on the ZOOM platform – there is no packing up. No lugging your machine in the rain, cold or snow.   No travel – no hotel bills!  You will be in your own bed every night. 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.  You can even attend in your jammies!  Unlike typical online classes where you can only watch – with ZOOM you watch, listen, ask questions AND get answers right then and there.  Like the online classes, sessions are recorded so you can revisit them as needed.  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 look at 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.   And

Kathy is always happy to answer emails, text message or even set up a one-on-one video chat to make sure you will have no reason not to finish your quilt!

Course Schedule

Class will meet on Tuesday mornings starting  from the end of September through October –  Want to participate but you work during the day?  Classes are recorded so you can watch them at your convenience – day or night.  Class recordings will remain available through the end of the year.  And I’m always available to answer questions outside of the actual class.  An email, text or a quick video chat will get your questions answered! My BobKat Guarantee is that I’m here for you until your last stitch!  No UFO’s on my watch!

Class Dates are as follows

Class will include the following sessions:  (1:00 pm -3:00 PM — CENTRAL TIME ZONE)

  • Tuesday Sept 27  – General information and a cutting / prep session (especially for beginning Quiltworx quilt makers)
  • Tuesday Oct 11 – Start Sewing!
  • Tuesday, Oct 25- More Sewing

I hope you’ll plan to join me!  When you discover how easy this beautiful quilt is to make – and how quickly it goes together… you’ll want to make several for gifts!  And they are easy to quilt on your domestic machine – a simple stitch in the ditch to something more ornate – so you’ll be able to finish them without needing the services of a long arm quilter!  They can decorate your table this Holiday Season!

PS:  Don’t forget to check out my fabric kits!  Or I can prepare one JUST FOR YOU!

I really appreciated the detailed instructions!

One of the most helpful classes I’ve taken.  Great instructions, both written and verbal,  made it easy to follow along. I never felt lost.
