Retreat

I enjoy Kathy’s method of teaching. It’s relaxed and free form. I can progress at my pace. Kathy is always happy and open to suggestions. She had a terrific solution to a fabric problem. I didn’t need to recreate a section or buy more fabric! I wish the workshop was four days. I felt that I was just understanding the methods of construction plus making progress when it was over! I am looking forward to her return to Shipshewana.

What a terrific project this Jungle Magnolia was to make. I’ve been quilting for over 30 years, but this is truly the most challenging quilt I’ve ever made. I couldn’t have done it without your help. I’m so happy with the result.
With your explanations and videos, I learned how to read, divide, and assemble a Quiltworx pattern.  Thanks for that!
What I really appreciated about the videos was the clear structure, your personal explanations and countless tips and tricks. Even when something went wrong, you guided us through it… what a huge help.
Thanks for all of your help!
Now I have to start quilting!
 
 

Five Stars for Fundamentals of Quiltmaking!
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.
