Your trunk show at our guild was stunning….

Kathy, your trunk show and presentation of your work was stunning. You have given me the ambition to try tackling these stunning patterns. All I can say, if you have the chance to see Kathy’s trunk show- you must! Her

Loved making my Fractured Star

I enjoyed the  Zoom classes with my guild!  I finally got my top done for Fractured Star and now I am  contemplating quilting it. Kathy is a great teacher and provides extra help when needed.

Great foundation for foundation paper piecing!

I was thrilled when I found this class for the Twinkle Star. I wanted to be introduced to Judy Niemeyer paper piecing and this was the perfect way to do it. I thought I was going to have to do

Quiltworx Wedding Ring Quilts – Zoom Class Series

July 31, 2022 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm CDT
$25.00 – $229.00

Judy Niemeyer has designed several beautiful Double Wedding Ring quilts — all with the same underlying sewing techniques.  You choose which one you would like to make based upon size and design.   Choose a more traditional DWR or one of the Wedding Star Quilts.  Choose to make a table topper, bedrunner, wall quilt or a bed quilt (anything from a twin to a king!)

Previously those who have taken my Wedding Star Table Topper Class have been able to go on and complete queen size Bali Wedding Star quilt, so this time I’m giving you the option  from the start!  Select your preferred Double Wedding Ring or Wedding Star pattern from the ticket list below.  The common elements and techniques will be the core of the class and I will provide supplemental information to help you with the variations.  (Already have one of the patterns?  Choose the instruction only option!)    All classes are recorded so available to you when you need them.  You won’t miss a moment AND you’ll have a front row seat every time.  Additional support and technique demo videos will be included.  Plus I can assist with that curved binding if needed!!  All told — more than 40 hours of instruction, and as always — the BobKat GuaranteeI’m here for you until your quilt top is complete!

Want to add applique to your quilt using the Fabric Confetti (FC) Digitized embroidery designs?  Don’t forget to add the separate FC Wedding Ring Embroidery Workshop when you register as well as add the designs to your purchase!  Retails for $55 — save $10 if you purchase with your registration!

Sold Separately:  A hands-on Quiltster workshop where you can use Quiltster to design your Wedding Ring Quilt (Bali Wedding Star isn’t there — but we can use Gemstone or Bali Bedrunner to give you a running start!)

Pattern Options include:

  • Wedding Star Patterns:  Wedding Star Table Topper, Gemstone, Bali Bedrunner, Bali Wedding Star
  • Traditional DWR:  Grandma’s Wedding Ring and Ribbons & Bows
  • Applique: Flowers for My Wedding Ring

Tickets will include pattern unless you choose the Instruction Only Option.
