Thank you for all your help! Not such a huge Mountain!
Kathy was great at taking it in segments and working through the process to make it not seem like such a huge mountain to climb. She incorporates some of her own ideas/techniques that make the process even easier.
You won’t regret taking a class with her!

From “No Way” to Success and Comraderie!
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.

Sulky Village – Paper Pieced Wall Quilt – Zoom Class
February 8, 2022 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am CST
$99.00
Join me and learn the process for intricate paper piecing. This is NOT a Quiltworx pattern. It is a free pattern from Sulky International. Class fee is for INSTRUCTION ONLY and the support information I will prepare for you.
This fun quilt will require you to raid your scraps! Make your village in Brights, Christmas Fabrics, Reproduction Fabrics, Tula or Kaffe or whatever you can imagine. Each month you will receive the information you need to tackle 1 or 2 new blocks — so that by the last class — you’ll be ready to put your parts together.
Quilt finishes at 33″ x 40″ — but you can make more houses, add borders… and just go wild to make your quilt the size you wish! Each block is made up of several individual paper pieced components. Make the components and then join them together to create your building. Some buildings have nearly 100 patches — and the “block” is only 7″ x 9″ for example!
We will not be doing a lot of sewing in class after our first class — but I will introduce each building. We’ll talk about colors and fabric placement. We’ll discuss the techniques for paper piecing itty-bitty little pieces of fabric. I’ll be ready to answer all of your questions.
Class meeting dates are the 2nd Tuesdays of the month. All classes will be recorded — so if that time doesn’t work for you — just watch at your convenience. And as always — when you take a class with me — my help is there until your top is completed!
Tuesday, February 8: – 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM (Intro – How to’s: organizing, technique options, and more )
Tuesday, March 8: – 10:00AM – 11:30 AM Block #1 — and Paper Piecing Basics

Pattern can be downloaded free at: https://sulky-shop.de/SULKY-Village-BOM-2004/A-100003 – but is written in German with measurements in cm’s instead of inches! I’ll be translating the information to English for you – and have all you need to successfully create each block and your quilt. ( Once registered — if you need help acquiring the pattern, I can help.) I’ll be creating coloring diagrams for you — so you can easily design your blocks fully before sewing them. $99 per person will get you help from start to finish!
Supply and fabric information will be available early January 2022. (Although this is truly a great scrap bin projects for much of the piecing of the trees and buildings, etc.)

Fantastic Quiltster Class
I Loved the Retreat!
If you get a chance, join Kathy at one of her future in-person or zoom classes or at an upcoming retreat
I had no idea how much I could do with Quiltster!
I just attended a fabulous Quiltster Zoom Class with Kathy of BobKat Quilts. I had no idea how much you can do with Quiltster. It was a full 4 hour class with hands on training.
Kathy explained the software so clearly. I had just signed up for Quiltster and had not used it before. I like the zoom format because now I can go back to the recording and review at my own pace. I am looking forward to coloring some quilts!
If you want to learn more about Quiltster, I highly recommend this class!
