Can’t Recommend Kathy Enough!
Take one of Kathy’s classes- live and/or zoom. You will be guided through the process with as much support as you need. I can’t recommend Kathy at BobKat quilts enough! She is wonderful!
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.
Ready for the Next Step…
Kathy is a great instructor with lots of patience, I really appreciate her availability in between classes for help! (We “faced-timed” to troubleshoot when I got stuck!) She always had a fix when I messed up.
Thanks for a great class Kathy!

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:

Thank you, thank you, thank you… for your most excellent ZOOM Class!
Thank you, thank you, thank you ,very much for your most excellent Zoom Wedding Star class this morning. I feel so much more confident about making this quilt. You are an excellent teacher and so far ZOOM is working well
Great group instructor…AND personal follow up!
Very thorough and knowledgeable teacher!
Here we are in a time when we can’t meet in person and there is a learning curve for everyone, but Kathy took it on and was able to succeed. I know she will see everyone through in completing their various projects. Kathy obviously is very comfortable teaching any class. Suggestions for Zoom would be to pre-record just the instructions for the day, and then take questions and open up for sewing, where appropriate. I really appreciate the instructions in the separate videos that were given after the fact. I would pay for classes that aren’t interactive, but are just the recordings. I’m sure I will take part in future classes.
