Fundamentals of Quiltmaking – A Must Class for Beginning Quilters
Kathy provided a clear outline for each week. We were provided with instructions on cutting out fabric to prepare samples of the blocks and techniques that were going to be demonstrated in the upcoming that class. We were also were encouraged to message any problems we were having or questions. Her responses were always timely and offered suggestions. We all proudly displayed our finished blocks for that session. We also were provided with additional resources.
I have been quilting for a few years but still referred to myself as a beginner. After this class I can walk through that door!
I can now do partial seams, flying geese, prairie points, a true 1/4 inch seam, and curves. Plus so much more.
I highly recommend this class.

Couldn’t recommend more highly !!!
Lots of Shortcuts…
I loved Kathy’s enthusiasm!. The class eval didn’t go high enough — it topped out at “Outstanding”. I learned lots of shortcuts. The class was challenging because I tend to be slower sewing in a group.

Shipshewana Spring 2025 – Quiltworx Technique of the Month Retreat
Sorry we are at capacity for Spring 2025!
We’re now taking reservations for our Autumn Shipshewana Retreat –
October 7 – 12, 2025! See the new listing.
Don’t miss your opportunity to visit Shipshewana in Late Spring 2025 to work on your Quiltworx Technique of the Month Quilt! Jungle Magnolia!! You know you’ll want to make it! Or bring any pattern you wish to sew!
We are adding an extra day this year — so we’ll be retreating from Tuesday, June 3 (start sewing at 10:00 AM) and we will sew until Sunday afternoon (4:00 PM). THAT IS 6 FULL DAYS OF SEWING!!! That week is also the week of the nearby Elkhart Quilt Show — so you can sneak away one day to take in the show if you wish! It’s about a 20 minute drive. Not to mention a visit to Yoder Department Store, The Cotton Corner, Lolly’s, Essenhaus Quilt Shop, Caroline’s, Zincks and more! And don’t forget your stop at JoJo’s Pretzels or Ben’s Pretzels! Yummy is the word of the day!
As always — I’ll start the instruction on Zoom in February — and you can join me then and get started or wait until the retreat to get going. The full Zoom Series is included with your retreat registration! A $300+ value!
The Zoom series is available independently as well. You can choose RETREAT ONLY or ZOOM ONLY or you can purchase your pattern with your registration (I discount them with registration!) for either the retreat or the Zoom Series. Since the pattern was released — Certified Shops have been offering KITS — which can include fabric only or fabric with pattern – make sure you don’t purchase 2 patterns! I can also help you custom design your own colorway using Quiltster if you want your own unique quilt. Or join me and learn how to use Quiltster to design your own!
Deposit will be refundable through January 31st, 2025 less a 4% processing (mostly what is withheld by the payment processor.) Reserve your hotel rooms independently at The Farmstead Inn or plan to stay at the nearby campground or check out some of the nearby VRBO / B&B options. There are other hotels a little less pricey you may want to check out. You do NOT need to stay at the hotel to participate in the Retreat.
I hope you’ll consider joining me. With the Zoom support added — this is a GREAT value — 6 days of sewing and the full Zoom Series (and my support from start to finish regardless of your timeline).
