SUMMARY:Midnight Gala by Quiltworx - Zoom Series
DESCRIPTION:Midnight Gala is more than a quilt pattern; it’s a celebration of seasonal beauty\, thoughtful design\, and the joy of craftsmanship. Whether you’re drawn to its geometry\, its evocative color story\, or the legacy of the Niemeyer family’s artistry\, this quilt is ready to become your next heirloom. \nThis quilt captures the essence of autumn with a rich\, spicy palette that evokes cinnamon sticks\, clove pods\, and steaming mugs of mulled apple cider. At its center lies a striking motif reminiscent of a sliced apple core\, radiating outward in symmetrical layers that invite both admiration and introspection.  As designed — pattern uses the Quiltworx Strip Set:  Apple Cider but you can take it in any direction you choose.  Let Quiltster allow you to play and help you see and realize your vision. \nQuilt measures 96″ x 96″ and can be expanded. \nClass will meet live for 5 sessions and in addition\, multiple sewing demonstration videos will be available.  Live sessions will be for checking in\, answering questions\, etc.  The sewing instruction will mostly be in the pre-recorded sessions.  From planning your colors\, to cutting your fabrics to sewing your units and then final assembly — you will have guidance and support from start to finish!  Class will remain accessible indefinitely. \nIntroduction to Pattern\, Fabrics\, etc…  Tuesday\, June 23rd – 10:00 AM – noon \nClass #2:  Tuesday\, June 30th – 10:00 AM – noon \nClass #3:  Tuesday\, July 21 – – 10:00 AM – noon \nClass #4:  Tuesday\, August 11 – 10:00 AM – noon \nClass #5:  Tuesday\, September 29 – 10:00 AM – noon  (subject to change) \nIdeally — you’ll have plenty of time to sew between sessions so you’ll be more than ready to assemble by the end of September! \nIn addition to FULL video support — I will be available by email\, phone or one-on-one Zoom calls — but always start with an email!  Be as detailed as possible with your questions and I will work with you to keep you sewing! \nChoose class only or with discounted pattern which retails for $120. \nEmail me at kathy@bobkatquilts.com if you have any questions!  I hope you’ll join me!
