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 me understand the other instructor’s directions! I would definitely recommend this class to others.
Your video-on-demand, Quiltworx 101 class helped me avoid abandoning my project!
I hope to take your “Quiltster Hands-On” on-demand class soon.
Thank You!
I’m so happy with the result!
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!
Quiltster Class – I earned SO MUCH!
Just had a great zoom class learning how to navigate Quiltster with Kathryn Groves from BobKat Quilts. I learned so much! Great class to take.
She follows through! The BEST!
Everything that Kathy tells you she will do, she follows through! She is ALWAYS there to assist you to finish your quilt! You couldn’t pick a better Quiltworx Certified Instructor!
A Must See On-Demand Class Video!
I downloaded Quilworx 101 on demand class video to provide feedback. I have also taken zoom class with Kathy on Dinner Plate Dahlia several years ago. The Quiltworx 101 video is an excellent introduction to the Quiltworx system. The instructions to download the video were very clear and worked as described!
Your Classes are Fabulous!
I thoroughly researched many educators offering classes for the Quiltworx Jungle Magnolia and BobKat Quilts was the best fit for me! Your classes are FABULOUS! I’m so glad that I found you!
Courage to Try!
I took a class from Kathy last year. It was the Bali Wedding Star. I made it for my daughter and son in law. On a lark I entered it in our local guilds quilt show. I won viewers choice ! Just wanted to thank you again for being a phenomenal teacher and giving me the courage to take on this project!
Hands down the best Quiltworx class I have ever taken!
For the first time in over 9 years I finally know what to do and how to read Quiltworx pattterns! I owe it all to Kathy Groves and her BobKat Quilts zoom classes. I love the fact that if I didn’t understand all the instructions the first time around I can always review the recorded zoom class. Kathy is an amazing instructor I hope to take many more zoom classes from her. KATHY PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DON’T EVER STOP ZOOMING!!!
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!
Wonderful Online Quiltster Class!!!
BobKat Quilts Thank you very much for a wonderful online Quiltster class. I learned so much and have already worked on planning and ordering fabric for one of the quilts on my list. I hope to take another class with you in future!
I enjoyed the class today
I enjoyed the class today even though I wasn’t doing the actual Judy Niemeyer quilt that was being taught. My feedback is that I would like to have seen a little more of the actual stitching, especially doing the inside & outside points. I did have some interruptions on my side when you was talking about the threads to use & I’ll go back and watch that (the advantage of sharing the class recordings!) I did enjoy seeing the needle books, I will have to do that also.
Thank you very much!
Applique…..Afraid No More
As an enthusiastic new quilter who has never been taught applique before, I highly recommend this zoom class. I avoided applique in my newbie years as a quilter.
Not anymore!! Thank you Kathy for taking the unknown applique technique and making it possible to do.
Very happy with my poinsettia quilt!
Very happy with my poinsettia quilt! Thank you Kathy for a great class!
Great foundation for foundation paper piecing!
I was thrilled when I found this class for the Twinkle Star. I wanted to be introduced to Judy Niemeyer paper piecing and this was the perfect way to do it. I thought I was going to have to do it on my own, purchased a Twinkle Star quilt kit over a year ago and hadn’t gotten to it. I will hopefully have time in the future to take more classes! Thanks Kathy!
I highly recommend BobKat Quilt Classes!
I took a zoom class for my Dinner Plate Dahlia from BobKat Quilts, It was a great series of classes. Kathy is a wonderful instructor who is always there for you. In addition to the interactive classes, the instructional videos online are so detailed and you can watch them over and over. I highly recommend her classes.
One class gave me what I needed!
I completed my Prism Table Runner! Your “Geese in Flight Placemat” class gave me the basics (and the confidence to start this project. Thank you!
Loving Kathy’s Zoom Class in Australia
I can only say how fantastic the zoom Poinsettia class was. Kathy is an excellent instructor. All stages are made very clear and simple. This was my first project and because I’m in Australia I found the recorded lessons great to follow. Hardest decision is to decide what class I can do next
A Marvelous Experience!
The Wedding Star Table Topper on Zoom was an absolutely fabulous class! Kathy Groves is an outstanding instructor with excellent instructional skills; she is never rushed giving instructions. Moreover, Kathy is patient and very eager to help students. I have taken other classes from a QW certified instructor where I could not see or hear what the instructor was showing us. If, I or others asked questions were were blown off or the instructor told another student to see what we needed. I felt as though, Kathy valued her students! I will be taking more classes with Kathy. I find the Zoom classes superior to in shop classes because I can see, hear and replay the instructions.
Successful Finish!
Quiltworx patterns are more than a little overwhelming when you first read the instructions. I was a little nervous thinking of tackling one on my own and came across your ZOOM class. You are a very good teacher… kind and patient. There are some areas of the Quiltworx instructions that are not as clear as I would have liked them to be (adding the veins, is one example.) Your class added the extra know-how for a successful project. Thank You!
Your teaching is fantastic – Just the right mix of show and teach!
On the fence about Kathy’s Zoom Classes? I highly recommend them!
I just saw your last call for a new round of classes, I hope you offer these again! Want to finish my Coral Reef before undertaking another!
For those of you on the fence about Kathy’s zoom classes; I highly recommend them! Very organized, very helpful and kind! I will do another with her!
Quiltworx via Zoom – I’m hooked!
My introduction to Quiltworx through Kathy’s first online ZOOM class. I’m hooked!
Table Topper Finished! – King size planned!
Bali Star Wedding Ring table topper – Finished!
I finally found all the pieces that were packed away when the hurricane tore the roof off of the sewing room. It got very wet and had a little color bleed- but, that’ll be part of the memory!
Once the building rebuild is completed, (slow going due to COVID and wide spread damages supply and demand) I plan to make the king size quilt in same pattern.
Thank you Kathryn Eifert Groves of BobKat Quilts for the ZOOM class!! I didn’t have the knowledge until your class!!
Fabulous teacher, she really cares about your quilt project
I highly recommend Kathy’s zoom classes. She is very thorough in her instructions. I took the poinsettia class and was extremely pleased. She answers any questions you have either during the online class or later via email or chat very promptly. In my opinion she goes above and beyond! Thanks Kathy!
Beautiful Tea Time Placemats
Enjoyed this Zoom class sponsored by my guild. Kathy made me feel at home with my skill level. She gave great tips and was eager for all of us to have completed projects. She did not leave us hanging – she stayed with each of us until we were confident we could finish. She was very patient.
Zoom Class – Much Better than in Person!
I purchased a Dinner Plate Dahlia quilt kit awhile back and I realized had no idea how to make that quilt. Then I found Kathy’s zoom class. I was so glad I took her class. She’s an excellent instructor. Very patient and does her best to make sure all students are following along. She’s very responsive to questions. The zoom platform is really much better than an in person class. It’s very easy to follow the instructor and see exactly what she’s doing unlike an in person class where your vision is obstructed by others. I plan on taking the Coral Reef class once I finish my DPD. Thanks Kathy for offering great classes!
Great Experience
I did the Harboured Lighthouse quilt as a zoom class with Kathy. It was easy to follow along during the class. If I missed anything or wanted to recheck part it’s easy to watch the class again. Kathy is always available for questions and always got back to me quickly.
Poinsettia Zoom Class — I loved it! You will, too!
Just finished up Kathy’s Zoom class for the Poinsettia Table Topper. I cannot express how happy I am, not only with the class experience for my first Judy project, but with my project overall. Kathy explains very well on how to do each piece. She is very patient and answers everyone’s questions until they get it. I highly recommend her classes for anyone, beginners and experienced quilters both will love it.
All my Quiltster Questions Answered … And MORE!
Kathy, Your Quiltster class answered my questions completely… And more!
Quiltster is a phenomenal tool.. and you made it even more useful for me in understanding the “sync” button and swapping out all fabrics from the print/fabric screen.
I wanted to let you know your approach to virtual teaching is total complete and truly well put together for your students success. Your use of PowerPoints and PDF electronic handouts all kept handy and accessible in an online folder add tremendous value to your classes.
I might add you come across very well in sharing compassionately with students of all levels of experience, keeping it fun and rewarding.
Fantastic Quiltster Class
I just attended Kathy’s Quiltser class. This was my first experience with Quiltser and Kathy made it a breeze. She’s a great teacher and very patient. If you’d like to learn more about Quiltster then I encourage you to take this class with Kathy.
Great class on Quiltster!!!
This was an excellent, informative class, presented by a teacher who really knows her subject.
Judy recommended a wonderful instructor!
What a relief it was to have Judy recommend Kathy Groves’ Bali Wedding star quilt class. I have been quilting since 2016 and have taken one other Judy N class. I just love Kathy’s classes as she is well organized and teaches to each participant’s skill level. Although I was working on a King size wedding quilt instead of the table topper, Kathy took the extra time to walk me through the process, double check my piecing and cutting math and generally just give me the support I needed to finish this quilt. I will definitely be taking another class with her. The advantage of zoom classes is being able to see her work close up and clearly, which is something I always missed with in person classes. Hopefully soon we will be able to have in person classes and I look forward to meeting her in person. She is just outstanding.
Your Quiltster class was so much fun!
This class was so much fun. I learned a lot. Thanks Kathy for an excellent session on Quiltster.
First day of class and already I feel more confident!
Thanks for today’s wedding ring topper class. I have several of Judy N. patterns and have been intimidated by them. You helped to demystify the pattern. I’m so hopeful now and I feel more confident about these patterns!
Thank you for all your help! Not such a huge Mountain!
I am really glad that I got an opportunity to take the Summer Solstice class with Kathy. I have always admired Judy Niemeyer designs but got discouraged when I saw how many pages there were to the instructions for a single quilt.
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!
Thanks Kathy… Beautiful Kit! Great Class!
My Poinsettia table topper is sewn and ready to be quilted! Thank you Kathy for this beautiful kit as well as a great class!
From “No Way” to Success and Comraderie!
This was a great experience. I would never have had the nerve to try this on my own. When I first opened the pattern I almost said no way. The only thing that kept me from backing out was knowing we had a certified teacher. The best part for me was being able to watch the videos multiple times to be able to figure out what to do. As the point person for this group training, I can’t thank Kathy enough for all of the back and forth emails answering all of my questions.
The perfect choice for our quilt club!
I enjoyed my quilt club’s 3 session zoom class. Zoom is a good way to give quilters continued access to classes during a time of social distancing, and the pattern Kathy chose for our group was the perfect one for a Judy Neimeyer Zoom class. Kathy was well prepared and very helpful throughout the class. She knows JN pattern construction very well and also provided many useful quilting tips I can use on other projects.
Quitworx Class #5 and I still learned new tips!
Thank you for the marvelous Poinsettia class! This was my 5th Quiltworx retreat. I took the class to learn about Zoom. The added bonus was the several tips you gave us to make things a little easier! 
Fundamentally Wonderful!
The Fundamentals of Quilting was a wonderful class, lots of information and links to fully understand new techniques. I finished the class with three sample quilts and ready to tackle bigger projects. Kathy has a wealth of experience and willingly shares, answered questions and helped everyone be successful. Most classes went over in time. Make sure you budget time to practice between sessions — She’ll give you instant feedback!
I would definitely take another course through zoom, as I still have so much to learn.
Bring her back soon!
I attended the Zen Garden class at Yoders in Shipshewana, IN. Kathy was great! Bring her back soon and the Fort Wayne gals will come.
Clear concise instructions and lots of fun!
Clear concise instructions and lots of fun. My project isn’t done but will be in a bit. Thanks, Kathy for your encouragement and help.
Paper Piecing, Judy Niemeyer, Kathy and Zoom – it was meant to be!
I had tried paper piecing before, but not in the depth of the Judy Niemeyer classes. I didn’t care for pp until I took this class. I love Judy’s patterns and have been trying to find an instructor nearby. When I found out about Kathy’s zoom class, I felt it was just “meant to be”. I have learned so much from this class and I even purchased another Judy kit. It was a lot of fun and Kathy gave us plenty of time to do our homework! If anyone has been putting off doing a Judy pattern, I strongly recommend taking a zoom class from Kathy.
Coming back for More!
Looking forward to another great class! Wedding Star Table Topper on Zoom was wonderful!! ?
Love the Flexibility of Zoom Classes
I’m glad I signed up for this class on Zoom. I work full time and may not be able to participate in all the live sessions. The videos are great so I can work at my own pace!
Fantastic Teacher – I just signed up for another class!
I’m in Kathy’s Dinner Plate Dahlia Zoom class. I just signed up for the upcoming (March 2021) Coral Reef Zoom class as well! She’s a fantastic teacher. Clear and concise instructions and very helpful and patient.
I’ve taken many of classes, Yours are among the best!
I have a Masters degree along with my Nurse Practitioner and have taken many college courses as well as Continuing Medical Education over the years. I have been telling my husband (who is a pulmonologist) how much I have learned from you already (only a couple of classes into the course) and how much I have enjoyed your classes. He commented that I have appeared very interested and happy about learning each time I have taken your class in this series.
It is obvious that you have taught before. You have a lot of clarity and seem to anticipate your student’s needs. It is obvious that you want things to go well and are very patient. Your follow up videos help break things down and reinforce class learning.
Looking forward to next weekends class and I have already registered for your Dinner Plate Dahlia course coming up.
Very thorough and knowledgeable teacher!
I would strongly recommend classes with Kathy!
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.
Thank you, thank you, thank you… for your most excellent ZOOM Class!
I love how she makes me feel comfortable doing classes on ZOOM!
Kathy is a great teacher and inspires you to want to jump right in! She will be there with you each step of the way! . I love how she will makes me feel comfortable doing classes on ZOOM!
