Your explanation of  “Judy’s way” of paper piecing was very clear and easy to understand. You had some good tips to make it easier too. I liked having the card with the step-by-step process you could have in front of

Wedding Star Table Topper Zoom Class – Autumn 2021

October 8, 2021 @ 10:00 am - 12:30 pm CDT
$99.00

The Double Wedding Ring quilt pattern is on every quilter’s bucket list.   Join dozens of past students who are now enjoying their beautiful Wedding Star Table Toppers decorating their tables!

While the world is slowing “opening up” — it’s still nice to sew from the comfort of your own sewing room!  Let’s all ZOOM our way to success!  All you will need is a smart phone, tablet or computer to join me in this 5 session class series!  The best part of all – you don’t need to pack up your machine and supplies!  You get to work in the comfort of your own sewing room.

Take the plunge and join me and make your own DWR quilt!  We will start with the Quiltworx Wedding Star Table Topper – a pattern that teaches you EVERYTHING you need to know should you decide to make a larger wall quilt or even a queen- or king-sized bed quilt!    The table topper is the perfect introductory size – 2 rings by 2 rings – 30” x 30”.  This is one that can be easily finished in a very short window of time!  If you are ready to do a larger Wedding Star Quilt — just email me — and we can make that work as well.  Options would include the Bali Bedrunner, Gemstone or a Bali Wedding Star!

This class series will take you from the very beginning until your table topper is complete – or nearly so!  Interactive classes allow you to observe and see what I do as well as ask questions along the way.  The class sessions will be recorded so you can re-watch later if you wish.  Questions between sessions?  I’m only an email or phone call/video chat away!  My promise to you is that you will have support every step of the way as you finish your quilt top!

A $120 value including 5 sessions, pattern and endless support for $99!

Classes will meet Fridays in October and into November 2021.  (Can’t attend the live sessions — join and participate via the recorded sessions.  You can email me if you have any questions at all!)  All times are CST (Central – same as Chicago or Dallas)

  • Session #1 – Prep and General Information – Friday, October 8, 2021 – 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM

NOTE DATE CHANGE:  No class on October 22nd — a class has been added on November 12 to compensate for the missed week.  I apologize for any inconvenience.

With your registration you will receive a complete supply list and fabric requirements list.  Shop your stash as this project doesn’t require large quantities of any one fabric.  I can also prepare a custom kit in a number of color ways — email me for more information  or check out the options of pre-designed kits in my webstore.

Class fee is based upon the Wedding Star Table Topper Pattern — if you already own your pattern or prefer to make one of the larger quilts — just email me!  We can invoice you directly to accommodate the pattern of your choice – or no pattern included at a reduced cost.

Your Presentation Change my Mind!

Kathy. I So loved your time with us at the Greater San Antonio Quilt Guild. I was one of those quilters who said I would never do quilts like these. You definitely changed my mind! You and your quilts are

Quiltwork 101 On-Demand helped me avoid abandoning my project!

The “Quiltworx 101” video on-demand class was great! I’m a QW newbie I was having problems understanding the instructor and her instructions in the class I was taking.  I was ready to give up!   Your simple and clear instructions helped
