I Loved the Retreat!

I joined Kathy at her BobKat Quilts Shipshewana Retreat where I worked on my 1st Quiltworx Quilt Carnival Flower. I loved the retreat and Kathy’s world of knowledge! If you get a chance,  join Kathy at one of her future

SHIPSHEWANA QUILTWORX ACADEMY – Guest Instructor

September 18, 2023 - September 22, 2023

You are cordially invited to join us in the heart of Amish Quilt Country!

Yoder Department Store and The Cotton Corner are proud to announce Shipshewana Quiltworx Academy coming this fall September 18-22, 2023, at the Blue Gate Garden Inn, Shipshewana, Indiana, and I’ve been asked to participate as a featured speaker and workshop leader!

This multi-day event will highlight the Judy Niemeyer Quiltworx Program and have workshops for all skill levels.  If you are new to Quiltworx, we have ½ day introductory workshops just for you!  We will be offering 1, 2, 3, and 5-day project workshops as well as Quiltster color designing sessions.

Your week will be packed with learning and fun.  Workshops will be led by certified instructors (including yours truly!!)  that will share their tips, tricks and instruction on Judy’s legendary foundation paper-piecing techniques as well as traditional piecing, curved piecing, strip piecing, and appliqué.  There will be opportunities for exclusive shopping, an Amish dining experience and sew much more!

Students will learn a process, which simplifies and minimizes waste that has come to be associated with many common foundation paper piecing methods. In addition, you will learn how to use templates and speed-cutting techniques as well as chain-piecing and curved piecing techniques. Your time will also incorporate direction on selecting colors, designing unique layouts of Quiltworx patterns, and useful instruction regarding sewing and overall organization. They will also demonstrate the use of the tools and products they have found over the years that are extremely helpful in completing Quiltworx Patterns.

Don’t miss this opportunity to combine your desire for quilting with a trip to Shipshewana, Indiana!

All registration will be handled by Yoder Department Store and the Cotton Corner! Check out their link bellow:

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
