SUMMARY:Electric Quilt 8 - Introduction
DESCRIPTION:Do you like designing your own quilt blocks?  or your own quilts?  Do you see images online but can’t find the pattern — but think — I should be able to figure this out!  Or maybe you have a pattern but would like to resize the blocks in it?   \nUnlock the magic of Electric Quilt Design Software!  I’ll get you started with understanding the screen interface and navigation\, designing basic blocks and quilts\, adding your fabrics to the EQ Fabric stash and more!  Don’t let this extraordinary tool go unused!  Let me help you unlock the magic of EQ8. \nStudents should have EQ installed and activiated on their own computer.  I suggest having a mouse for easier navigation within the software.  For the Zoom class — it is helpful if you log in and view the class from a second device — so you can see and do at the same time!  You will also receive supplemental handouts and “assisgnments” to challenge you to use your skills! \nClasses are recorded so you can go back and review and practice long after the live class concludes.  Look for the next class in the series coming later this fall. where we will look at more tools and explore creating applique designs! \nDate:  Sunday afternoon\, August 13 from 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM

SUMMARY:Carnival Flower - Zoom Class - Register Now!
DESCRIPTION:We had a great intro class on Jan 21\, but you can still join – Register today\, you can watch the recorded classes and be ready for our next class!\n\nNOTE:  it’s not too late to join us!  While we may have held a class or two — they are fully recorded and the schedule gives you lots of time to “catch up”.  Many students didn’t even receive their fabric kits until late February!  I’m always available for questions…  so if you are on the fence thinking “maybe it’s too late — NOPE!  Join us!   \n*********************************************************************************************************************************************************** \nThe two quilts – Wall (80″ x 80″) and the Queen (99″ x 99″) include all of the techniques that make Quiltworx special!  From their newprint Template Layout Sheets for fabric prep\, to ALL of the sewing foundations — not to mention their detailed and graphics intensive written instructions which make their quilts do-able by everyone — even confident beginners! \nThe Zoom Series (like all of my classes) will be recorded so you will have access to all instruction and teaching support materials for MANY months after the live class sessions conclude.  And you receive my guarantee to be available for questions and support until your quilt top is finished! \nThe first class session will be a general introduction to the pattern and the class series.  It will be my goal to help you understand all of the quilt’s components\, where each of the fabrics go\, how to prepare your papers\, cut and organize your fabrics and much more.  I’ll even provide fabric and bag labels to help you get organized. \nClasses will be on ZOOM live but recordings will be available 24-48 hours after each live session.  And look for the additional technique support videos! \nClass #1 —Introduction session met on Saturday\, January 21 – Recorded for new registrants and review. \nClass #2 –  Saturday\, February 18 from 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM (lots of time between #1 and #2 to get organized\, purchase fabrics\, etc!!) \nClass #3 – Saturday\, March 18 from 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM \nClass #4 – Saturday\, April 1 from 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM (no foolin’ !) \nClass #5 – Saturday\, April 22\, from 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM \nClass #6 – Saturday\, May 20 from 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM \nClass #7 – Saturday\, June 3 from 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM \nClass #8 – Saturday\, July 15 from 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM \nI’ve spread things out quite a bit to allow lots of sewing time so that hopefully by the time class ends you will have your quilt nearly completed!  That’s the goal but if it doesn’t work out that way — no problem!  Sew as you can and the videos will be there to support you as needed. \nMy fee will include the pattern — DISCOUNTED approximately 15% off retail!  So if you are purchasing a kit — I suggest you purchase fabric only – so you can save a few $$ on the pattern.  But if you have the pattern — you can purchase just the instruction.  Note:  final pattern prices are higher than anticipated — so those already registered\, you’re good!  But I’ve had to adjust the pricing going forward.  Sorry for the confusion. \nDeposits are refundable up through December 15\, 2022.  Payment in full is due by January 10th (and must be received before your pattern will be shipped).  I will invoice for balances due in Mid December – I’ll need to know  your pattern size preference.  Patterns will not ship until early 2023 (as soon as I can get them in from Quiltworx!) \n  \nSpecial Notice: \nWe are also offering an in-person retreat in Shipshewana\, Indiana April 25 – April 29  featuring Carnival Flower!  Register  and pay for the Carnival Flower version of the retreat by January 20 and get this zoom class free.   Click here for more  information

SUMMARY:Goodnight Star by Quiltworx - Zoom Class Series
DESCRIPTION:The Goodnight Star layout includes foundation papers to make (24) 16″ quarter lone star blocks for a quilt that finishes at 96″ x 96″. \nIt is a good introduction to Quiltworx patterns as it is basically a one-block quilt — and you’ll learn Judy’s Strip Piecing Technique for Lone Stars — a component in many of her quilts.  In addition\, you’ll learn many other Quiltworx techniques — from using the newsprint papers in  your pattern\, reading her instructions\, organizing and cutting your fabrics to name a few.   Quiltworx Stripsets will work beautifully for this quilt — but for Goodnight Star — each diamond will require one more fabric — suggested is a DARK blender of each colorway from your strip set.  (I have lots of strip sets available — check them out!) \nLooking for a smaller project — the StarBaby pattern is a great option to learn the techniques without the same investment in time\, fabric and money.  You’ll learn almost all of the same techniques — but in a fun baby\, table or wall sized project. \nClasses are taught live but recorded for your convenience.  If Tuesdays aren’t good for you — then watch the recording in the evening or on the weekends.  Either way — I’m available to you from registration through your last stitch – whether it is soon after the class concludes or months (and months) down the road. \nClass dates:  (all live classes begin at 10:00 AM Central Time) \n \nQuiltworx 101 – pre-recorded introduction to Quiltworx Patterns / Projects – on your own \nIntro Session: –  January 10 – learn all about the project(s) — from the pattern details\, papers and fabrics required. \nPrep & Fabric Cutting Session — pre-recorded so you can access as you are preparing your papers and fabrics \nSession #2:  January 24 — we will orgainze our Lone Star Fabrics and then start Phase 1 of the sewing of these \nSession #3:  February 14 — Phase 2 of the Lone Star Diamond Blocks — putting your Diamond Strip Sets back together again \nSession #4:  February 28 —  Assemblying your quilt top! \nThis quilt goes together so quickly you’ll want to make 2!  For those doing StarBaby — You’ll attend the same sessions — but will have much less sewing between classes.  Once you have learned this technique — dozens of Quiltworx quilt patterns are ready and waiting for you including:  Zen Garden\, Prismatic Star\, Rainbow Crystal\, Tattered Star\, Sparkle and many more!  And this is a fundamental component of many other quilts.  So join me and put another Quiltworx Technique in your Quilting Tool Box! \n

SUMMARY:Poinsettia - Zoom Class Series - A great first Quiltworx Quilt
DESCRIPTION:Small Quilt –  Big Learning\nThis beautiful small quilt is perfect for your tables\, your walls and make extraordinary gifts!  They are quilt patterns that with proper instruction every quilt-maker can make! \nIn a few short classes you will learn how to navigate Quiltworx quilt patterns\, how to choose fabrics for Quiltworx quilts and the fundamentals of paper piecing as well as curved piecing the Quiltworx way! These skills will lay a great foundation for future quilt projects. You’ll be amazed at how quickly these beautiful quilts go from start to finish!   A Quiltworx pattern — this foundation paper pieced table topper finishes at 30″ — either round or square!!  It’s quick to make\, quick to quilt and quick to bind.  That makes it a perfect quilt to gift to family and friends (or keep for yourself!!).  Make them in colors to match your decor — or seasonal — spring\, summer\, fall\, winter or holiday!  They are so pretty you’ll want one for every season! \nThe Best Seat in the Room…\nBecause classes are on the ZOOM platform – there is no packing up. No lugging your machine in the rain\, cold or snow.   No travel – no hotel bills!  You will be in your own bed every night. No worrying about social distancing or health risks.  You will work from your own sewing room and have all your tools set up the way you like available to you.  You can even attend in your jammies!  Unlike typical online classes where you can only watch – with ZOOM you watch\, listen\, ask questions AND get answers right then and there.  Like the online classes\, sessions are recorded so you can revisit them as needed.  Unlike a typical classroom where students huddle around the instructor during demonstrations where you wrangle to get a good view – EVERYONE has the same perfect view.  I utilize multiple camera angles as well as PowerPoint and graphics to make sure you have the perfect look at exactly what you need to see to understand what it is you need to do. From lectures to cutting to pressing to sewing – you’ll have the perfect view every time.   And \nKathy is always happy to answer emails\, text message or even set up a one-on-one video chat to make sure you will have no reason not to finish your quilt! \nCourse Schedule\nClass will meet on Tuesday mornings starting  from the end of September through October –  Want to participate but you work during the day?  Classes are recorded so you can watch them at your convenience – day or night.  Class recordings will remain available through the end of the year.  And I’m always available to answer questions outside of the actual class.  An email\, text or a quick video chat will get your questions answered! My BobKat Guarantee is that I’m here for you until your last stitch!  No UFO’s on my watch! \nClass Dates are as follows \nClass will include the following sessions:  (1:00 pm -3:00 PM — CENTRAL TIME ZONE) \n\nTuesday Sept 27  – General information and a cutting / prep session (especially for beginning Quiltworx quilt makers)\nTuesday Oct 11 – Start Sewing!\nTuesday\, Oct 25- More Sewing\nTuesday Nov 1 – Final Assembly\n\nYou can easily have this on your table (or your wall!) this holiday season!! \n\nCourse fee: $89  (includes the pattern!)\n\nReserve your spot today!   I look forward to Zooming with you soon!\nPurchase your ticket below – just click on the + to make it a 1. \nI hope you’ll plan to join me!  When you discover how easy this beautiful quilt is to make – and how quickly it goes together… you’ll want to make several for gifts!  And they are easy to quilt on your domestic machine – a simple stitch in the ditch to something more ornate – so you’ll be able to finish them without needing the services of a long arm quilter!  They can decorate your table this Holiday Season! \nPS:  Don’t forget to check out my fabric kits!  Or I can prepare one JUST FOR YOU!

SUMMARY:Quiltster - Zoom Class
DESCRIPTION:Do you love making Quiltworx quilts — but are overwhelmed at the thought of designing your own?  Getting a headache trying to imagine how it might look if you swap this color or that color and then understanding how to integrate your choices with your pattern?  Calculating how much fabric to buy!  It’s totally overwhelming!!! \nLet’s change that!\nJoin me in this 3 hour Zoom Class where you will learn how to choose your pattern\, add your own fabrics or choose from Judy’s palettes\, place your colors into your quilt\, print the necessary documentation or even use the Marketplace to buy your fabrics and design YOUR quilt!  QUILTSTER is an amazing tool and you’ll have fun designing your quilts and realizing how easy it can be to point-and-click your way to your own personal Quiltworx Quilt!  From standard Quiltworx patterns to creating your own MIXER — you’ll be ready to play (and play and play some more) on Quiltster.  You do NOT need to be a highly-skilled computer user — the software is very user friendly and you’ll be a pro in no time at all. \nYou can join the class and just watch — but I strongly encourage you to register for Quiltster for yourself  so you can work in your own account.  Sign up for just 1 month to get you started and to be able to follow along in class “hands on…”  – the best way to learn.  You can choose to continue your subscription having fun playing with Quiltster Color and Quilt design.  Love it?  You can save money by purchasing their annual subscription  ( Note: to have access to the cloud-based Quiltster program\, you need to subscribe directly with Quiltworx / Quiltster.   Again it’s a month to month subscription\, you can drop any time\,  with a discount for a year long subscription.  https://www.quiltster.com/subscribe ) \nQuiltster is cloud based and you can participate on your computer\, tablet or smart phone.  For class\, you may want to consider using 2 devices — one for Zoom to see what I’m doing and hear what I’m saying — and the larger screened device with Quiltster so you can work at full screen capacity.  If you are using a computer — you may want a good old-fashioned mouse to make placing your fabrics a little easier — not necessary – but helpful.  Chrome is the preferred browser — so if you are on a tablet with Safari as your sole browser — you may want to install Chrome.  It is free. \nWant to learn more?  We offered this class previously and it received rave reviews.  Learn how to work from your stash\, design your own unique Mixers\, create “rainbow” quilts and so much more!!

SUMMARY:Tequila Lime by Quiltworx - Zoom Class
DESCRIPTION:This beautiful NEW pattern by Quiltworx is one I’m super excited to be making!  And I hope you’ll consider joining me and make one of your own.  As always\, the Foundation Paper Piecing Technique makes most of those sharp points happen when you aren’t looking! \nThe Zoom Class will take you from start to finish!  The pattern for the WALL sized quilt is included with your registration.  There are 7 options for taking it to a 99″ x 99″ QUEEN quilt.  Please email me for information on that prior to class!  (kathy@bobkatquilts.com)  Pricing for the Queen Extension varies from $16 – $40 — depending upon the pattern you select.   I can help with additional fabric requirements to go from WALL to QUEEN. \nThe class begins with an information session and then with the second class we start sewing!  Times are CENTRAL TIME ZONE. \nInfo Session:  Wednesday\, March 16  –  10:00 AM – 12:30 PM  (we’ll talk pattern\, papers and fabrics and prep!) \nSession #2:     Wednesday\, April 6  – 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM (time to start sewing!) \nSession #3:     Wednesday\, April 13 – 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM (more sewing) \nSession #4:     Wednesday\, May 4 – 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM (more sewing – and introduce pre-assembly) \nSession #5:     Wednesday\, May 25 – 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM  (final assembly) \nAn open sew will be scheduled in early June (likely Saturday\, June 4) – so stay tuned.  The Open Sew allows you to drop in and share your finished top or ask questions about anything Tequila Lime or Quiltworx! \nCertified shops have a wide variety of kits available or color your own with Quiltster.  Or I can help you shop your stash (or your favorite shop) with a Quiltster consultation. \nAs always\, all classes will be recorded and made available within approximately 48 hours after the live session.  Recordings remain available for several months after the live class sessions conclude.  There will also be a number of additional support videos to help you hone your Quiltworx Techniques.  And I’m only an email away until your quilt top is complete — whether that is June 2022\, December 2022 or whenever!

SUMMARY:Twinkle Star - A Great Introduction to Paper Piecing and Quiltworx Patterns
DESCRIPTION:Twinkle Star is a great introductory pattern for learning the Judy Niemeyer approach to paper pieced patterns\, essential paper piecing tools and tips\,  cutting and preparing foundation papers\, fundamental paper piecing processes\, curved piecing\, floating points. and lone star units.  The pattern includes three distinct groups that combine to create a stunning 38″ x 38″ quilt that goes together very quickly.   I’ve taught this pattern in several in-person guild retreats\, to rave reviews\,  because there is so much great learning in a manageable and affordable package!  If you’re looking for an “on-ramp” to the world of Judy Niemeyer and Quiltworx\, it doesn’t get better than this!  No previous paper piecing or quilting experience is necessary! If you can use a rotary cutter & a ruler and sew a straight line\, you have the skills to tackle this course! \nA Versatile Design\nLike many of our favorite quilts\, your choice of color way can create a wide variety of looks.  Experienced quilters may want to use this project to practice their design and color-way skills!    This small sampling of Twinkle Star designs I snagged from the Quiltworx Facebook page gives you just a little taste  of  the potential of this pattern. \n  \n  \nFor those who want to experiment\, Twinkle Star is Quiltster compatible\, meaning that you can plan your Twinkle Star with your colors and fabrics using the online Quiltster digital quilt planner.  (I’m offering a great online tutorial on how-to-use Quiltster in January – click for more information!) \nOnline Classes  – In your sewing room –  On your schedule. \nI offer my classes on Zoom\,  an online platform that will allow you to see and hear my lessons live on a smartphone\, tablet\, or laptop or desktop computer.(Or if you have a conflict — catch the recorded class at your convenience.)   Once you have registered for your class\, (from the link below)  you just need your device and access to the Internet\,  you don’t need to purchase any software or pay for any other services to participate in our Zoom class.  By the way\, you don’t have to be a geek to use it. I will send you a web link for each class and you click the link at the scheduled time to participate in the class. That’s it!  If you’re worried about the technical aspects\, I’ll even schedule a time where we can chat and I’ll help you get logged on to Zoom on your device. \n \n  \nMany of our past participants prefer Zoom classes because you don’t have to pack up your machine\, and lug your material and tools to a shop or meeting room for classes.  It all happens in the comfort of your own sewing space!   I use multiple cameras so you have a front row view whether I’m explaining an illustration in the pattern booklet or showing you how to feed a finicky piece through the sewing machine.  If you have questions during the class\, it’s live and interactive – ask questions\, ask for a closer look or show us your progress — all live!   And here’s the bonus… I record the classes and make them available for several months.  If you have to miss a live class\, you can review the recording at your leisure.  If you’re having problems with a particular technique\, just retrun to that part of the video and watch that section again!   Plus I include additional technique specific videos to help you master those techniques.   Because things happen\, and life gets in the way of sewing (I hate that!)\, I’ve had a number of quilters complete my classes by only watching the recordings and an occasional phone call or question over text or chat.  So don’t let the class schedule limit your participation.   You will be provided access to all materials\, including the class recordings for months after the class ends.   My exclusive BobKat Quilts guarantee is that I’m with you until you finish your project.   If you have a question\, I’m available to you by chat\, email or call  (even a 1-on-1 Zoom session) until you finish your quilt (even if the formal classes ended weeks ago)! \nWant to know what others think of our classes?  Go to the home page of this site and scroll down the page for a slide show of nearly 100 testimonials from other quilters. \nClass Schedule\nThis project class is bargain priced so you can give paper piecing a try.  If you are already a paper piecer — you are still welcome to join us! \nWednesday\, February 16 – 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM (Central Time) \nWednesday\, February 23 – 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM \nWednesday\, March  2 – 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM \nWednesday\, March 9 – 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM \nClass fee includes pattern\, all instruction (videos will remain available for months after the live class concludes) which includes both live class sessions and additional technique videos.  Plus my BobKat Guarantee — which means I’m here for your until your quilt top is complete!!  Whenever that is! \nWhat you get: \n\n12 hours of instruction (plus several hours of additional support videos!)\nYour Pattern (retail value $27)\nSupport and assistance from start to your last stitch!

SUMMARY:Sulky Village - Paper Pieced Wall Quilt - Zoom Class
DESCRIPTION:Join me and learn the process for intricate paper piecing.  This is NOT a Quiltworx pattern.  It is a free pattern from Sulky International.  Class fee is for INSTRUCTION ONLY and the support information I will prepare for you. \nThis fun quilt will require you to raid your scraps!  Make your village in Brights\, Christmas Fabrics\, Reproduction Fabrics\, Tula or Kaffe or whatever you can imagine.  Each month you will receive the information you need to tackle 1 or 2 new blocks — so that by the last class — you’ll be ready to put your parts together. \nQuilt finishes at 33″ x 40″ — but you can make more houses\, add borders… and just go wild to make your quilt the size you wish!  Each block is made up of several individual paper pieced components.  Make the components and then join them together to create your building.  Some buildings have nearly 100 patches — and the “block” is only 7″ x 9″ for example! \nWe will not be doing a lot of sewing in class after our first class — but I will introduce each building.  We’ll talk about colors and fabric placement.  We’ll discuss the techniques for paper piecing itty-bitty little pieces of fabric.  I’ll be ready to answer all of your questions. \nClass meeting dates are the 2nd Tuesdays of the month.  All classes will be recorded — so if that time doesn’t work for you — just watch at your convenience.  And as always — when you take a class with me — my help is there until your top is completed! \nTuesday\, February 8: – 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM (Intro – How to’s:  organizing\, technique options\, and more ) \nTuesday\, March 8:  –  10:00AM – 11:30 AM  Block #1 — and Paper Piecing Basics \nTuesday\, April 12:   –  10:00 AM – 11:30 AM   Blocks 2 & 3 \nTuesday\, May 10:  –    10:00 AM – 11:30 AM  Blocks 4 & 5 \nTuesday\, June 14:  –   10:00 AM – 11:30 AM   – Blocks 6 & 7 \nTuesday\, July 12:  –  10:00 AM – 11:30 AM  – Blocks 8\, 9 and 10 \nTuesday\, August 9:  –  10:00 AM – 11:30 AM  – Assembly & Finishing \nPattern can be downloaded free at:  https://sulky-shop.de/SULKY-Village-BOM-2004/A-100003 – but is written in German with measurements in cm’s instead of inches!  I’ll be translating the information to English for you –  and have all  you need to successfully create each block and your quilt.  ( Once registered — if you need help acquiring the pattern\, I can help.)  I’ll be creating coloring diagrams for you — so you can easily design your blocks fully before sewing them.   $99 per person will get you help from start to finish! \nSupply and fabric information will be available early January 2022. (Although this is truly a great scrap bin projects for much of the piecing of the trees and buildings\, etc.)

SUMMARY:Quiltster - Zoom Class
DESCRIPTION:Do you love making Quiltworx quilts — but are overwhelmed at the thought of designing your own?  Getting a headache trying to imagine how it might look if you swap this color or that color and then understanding how to integrate your choices with your pattern?  Calculating how much fabric to buy!  It’s totally overwhelming!!! \nLet’s change that!\nJoin me in this 3 hour Zoom Class where you will learn how to choose your pattern\, add your own fabrics or choose from Judy’s palettes\, place your colors into your quilt\, print the necessary documentation or even use the Marketplace to buy your fabrics and design YOUR quilt!  QUILTSTER is an amazing tool and you’ll have fun designing your quilts and realizing how easy it can be to point-and-click your way to your own personal Quiltworx Quilt!  From standard Quiltworx patterns to creating your own MIXER — you’ll be ready to play (and play and play some more) on Quiltster.  You do NOT need to be a highly-skilled computer user — the software is very user friendly and you’ll be a pro in no time at all. \nYou can join the class and just watch — but I strongly encourage you to register for Quiltster for yourself  so you can work in your own account.  Sign up for just 1 month to get you started and to be able to follow along in class “hands on…”  – the best way to learn.  You can choose to continue your subscription having fun playing with Quiltster Color and Quilt design.  Love it?  You can save money by purchasing their annual subscription  ( Note: to have access to the cloud-based Quiltster program\, you need to subscribe directly with Quiltworx / Quiltster.   Again it’s a month to month subscription\, you can drop any time\,  with a discount for a year long subscription.  https://www.quiltster.com/subscribe ) \nQuiltster is cloud based and you can participate on your computer\, tablet or smart phone.  For class\, you may want to consider using 2 devices — one for Zoom to see what I’m doing and hear what I’m saying — and the larger screened device with Quiltster so you can work at full screen capacity.  If you are using a computer — you may want a good old-fashioned mouse to make placing your fabrics a little easier — not necessary – but helpful.  Chrome is the preferred browser — so if you are on a tablet with Safari as your sole browser — you may want to install Chrome.  It is free. \nWant to learn more?  We offered this class previously and it received rave reviews.  Learn how to work from your stash\, design your own unique Mixers\, create “rainbow” quilts and so much more!!
