Great patience with newer quilters

Great patience with newer quilters at Quiltworx University!
Your help was greatly appreciated!

Your help was greatly appreciated. Being a beginner paper piecer, you did a great job in helping me understand the steps.
One class gave me what I needed!

I completed my Prism Table Runner! Your “Geese in Flight Placemat” class gave me the basics (and the confidence to start this project. Thank you!

Quilting in the Lowlands


May Black (Left) and Kathy Groves (Right) Join Judy Neimeyer as instructors at Quiltworx University in Santa Fe
I’m thrilled announce that I’ll be joining the faculty for the 2026 Quiltworx retreat Quilting in the Lowlands. Come quilt with us in the beautiful northeastern part of The Netherlands. We’ll be staying at the Fletcher Hotel in Exloo, about 2 hours by car, east of Amsterdam, near the Drentsche Aa National Park. This area is known for its meandering river, great walking and cycling trails and a relaxing setting.
This 10 day retreat will be English spoken and presented by an international team of instructors including Netherlands-based Certified Instructor and host, Marianne Martens-Niemeijer, May Black a fellow US-based C.I. and and two more Netherland-based instructors Inge Janssens and Janet Wielinga in addition to myself! Check out the link below for the details on this inclusive, 10 day, quilt focused get away with lots of perks and support!
While 2026 seems like a long time away, don’t wait too long to register, there is space for about 30 quilters and we are almost halfway booked! Registrants to-date are coming from the USA, Canada, Ireland, Great Britain and the Netherlands! I hope you’ll join us for this great retreat!

One bite at a time!

Loved the Twinkle Star class sponsored by our guild. She broke it down one bite at a time. Excellent instructor and excellent at demonstrating techniques. Patient and meets you where you are in the process. Excited to try another one!
Fun instructor who teaches to all levels of skill

Just wanted to post a little note. I am very new to sewing and especially quilting. My friend, who lives in Indiana, asked me if I wanted to take a quilting class with her. So I did. Kathy was beyond fantastic. She is a true instructor who understands how not to overwhelm students who are trying to learn a new skill set. It was super fun, relaxing and I learned a lot. There were some very experienced quilters in the class who also learned a lot. I’ve already decided that I’m going to Shipshewana again next year (2025)!
Thanks for a fun week!
