SUMMARY:Quiltworx Wedding Quilts in Shipshewana – April 2026
DESCRIPTION:Don’t miss your opportunity to visit Shipshewana in Spring 2026 to work on  your Quiltworx Wedding Ring or Wedding Star Quilt!  With a number of patterns to choose from – I’m certain that one is perfect for you!  Almost all quilt makers have making a “Wedding Ring” quilt on their bucket list – and I guarantee that the foundation paper piecing technique is the way to go!  (I did one the old fashioned way – so  I speak from experience!  Paper piecing makes the sewing perfectly do-able for quiltmakers of all skill levels. The Wedding Rings and Stars patterns will be our featured patterns\, but as always\, you are also welcome to bring any pattern you wish to sew! \nWe’ll be retreating from Tuesday\, April 14 (start sewing at 10:00 AM) and we will sew until Sunday afternoon (4:00 PM).  THAT IS 6 FULL DAYS OF SEWING!!!   Start early or sew late… or both! \nWhy Shipshewana\, Indiana?\n \nLocated in northeastern Indiana – it is the heart of Indiana Amish country.  Within walking distance from the sewing room\, a visit to Yoder Department Store\, The Cotton Corner\, will give you THOUSANDS of bolts of fabrics to choose from.  Just a little further away –  Lolly’s\,  Essenhaus Quilt Shop\, Caroline’s\, Zincks\, Fabric Utopia and more!  And don’t forget your stop at JoJo’s Pretzels or Ben’s Pretzels!  Yummy is the word of the day! \nA BobKat Bonus!\nBased upon the pattern you plan to work on – I’ll provide you access to the Zoom Series for that pattern.  You can get started early or wait until the retreat to get going. If you choose one of the featured patterns the full Zoom video series for your pattern is included with your retreat registration!  Videos for other patterns you wish to work on will be based upon availability – but I have dozens of patterns ready and waiting for you.  You could pay as much as $300 for one of the Zoom series alone! \nThe Zoom series for the featured patterns are available independently as well if you are unable to attend the  retreat.  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! \nHold your seat with a refundable deposit!\nReserve your seat today.  Last spring this retreat sold out!   You can hold your seat with a deposit today. \nFull payment (or balance after deposit)\, is due by February 28\, 2026.  Extra Bonus! – Pay in full before January 31st and use coupon code EARLY-BIRD-SAVINGS to save an additional $75.    Refunds available through March 15 less 10%\,  after that\, any refund is at the discretion of BobKat Quilts \nI hope you’ll consider joining me.  With the video support included — 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\, even if you need support finishing your quilt after the retreat! \nReserve your hotel rooms independently at The Farmstead Inn (request rooms in the west wing) 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 host hotel to participate in the Retreat.  Guests at the hotel will have breakfast included in their hotel stay – but no other meals are provided. \nFeatured Patterns\nPattern choices include:  (Measurements shown are the base pattern size.  It’s easy to adjust most of these patterns to a larger size with additional papers / fabrics  — just email me and we can chat) \n\nAllisyn’s Wedding Ring – 55″ x 68″\nBali Wedding Star – 80″ x 80″\nBali Bedrunner – 30″ x 104″\nDiamond Wedding Star – 69″ x 69″ or 96″ x 96″\nDiamond Wedding Ring – 72″ x 72″\nFlowers for My Wedding Ring – 87″ x 100″\nGemstone – 54″ x 54″\nGrandma’s Wedding Ring – 68″ x 80″\nWedding Star Table Topper – 30″ x 30″\n\n(To select your pattern option below\, Click the “Plus” to choose pattern and scroll down and click on Get Tickets)\n[vc_column][vc_media_grid gap=”10″ item=”masonryGrid_GoTop” css=”.vc_custom_1760564071994{margin-top: 3px !important;margin-right: 10px !important;margin-bottom: 3px !important;margin-left: 10px !important;padding-top: 3px !important;padding-right: 3px !important;padding-bottom: 3px !important;padding-left: 3px !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: contain !important;}” grid_id=”vc_gid:1760566422999-4018c8ed-f20d-1″ include=”9256\,807\,534\,15337\,14248\,2630\,9478\,12105\,531″][/vc_column]
