SUMMARY:Quiltster - Quiltworx Design Software - a 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 $$ 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 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. \nI look forward to seeing you in class as we ZOOM our way into our own CUSTOM “Judy” quilts. \nNOTE:  The Coral Reef Quilt will NOT be available in Quiltster until the pattern is released in early 2021.  But  you can learn how to use Quiltster now so you can be ready when it comes online!!!

SUMMARY:Conquer The Quiltworx Double Wedding Ring - Virtually!
DESCRIPTION:The Double Wedding Ring quilt pattern is on every quilter’s bucket list.   Use your time in the Corona Virus lock-down to  check this one off your list! (And you never have to leave home!) \nWhile the world is slowing “opening up” — it’s still nice to sew from the comfort of your own sewing room!  Let’s all ZOOM our way to success!  All you will need is a smart phone\, tablet or computer to join me in this 5 ession class series!  The best part of all – you don’t need to pack up your machine and supplies!  You get to work in the comfort of your own sewing room. \nTake the plunge and join me and make your own DWR quilt!  We will start with the Quiltworx Wedding Star Table Topper – a pattern that teaches you almost EVERYTHING you need to know should you decide to make a larger wall quilt or even a queen- or king-sized bed quilt!    The table topper is the perfect introductory size – 2 rings by 2 rings – 30” x 30”.  This is one that can be easily finished in a very short window of time!  If you are ready to do a larger Wedding Star Quilt — just email me — and we can make that work as well. \nThis class series will take you from the very beginning until your table topper is complete – or nearly so!  Interactive classes allow you to observe and see what I do as well as ask questions along the way.  The class sessions will be recorded so you can re-watch later if you wish.  Questions between sessions?  I’m only an email or phone call/video chat away!  My promise to you is that you will have support every step of the way as you finish your quilt top! \nA $120 value including 5 sessions\, pattern and endless support for $99!\n Classes will meet Tuesday afternoons during November and December.  (Can’t attend the live sessions — join and participate via the recorded sessions.  You can email me if you have any questions at all!)  All times are CST (Central – same as Chicago or Dallas) \n\nSession #1 – Prep and General Information – Tuesday\, November 3   1:00 – 3:00 PM\nSession #2 – Sewing the Arcs – Tuesday\, November 10  1:00 – 3:00 PM\nSession #3 – Sewing the CDS/CMS/Melons – Tuesday\, November  17  1:00 – 3:00 PM\nSession #4 – Begin Assembly – & square up option – Tuesday\, December 1   1:00 – 3:00 PM\nSession #5 – Finishing Up (how to bind!)  – Tuesday\, December 8   1:00 – 3:00 PM\n\nWith your registration you will receive a complete supply list and fabric requirements list.  Shop your stash as this project doesn’t require large quantities of any one fabric.  I can also offer you a kit of Blues  or in Holiday Colors (Red/Green/Gold) \nClass fee is based upon the Wedding Star Table Topper Pattern — if you already own your pattern or prefer to make one of the larger quilts — just email me!  We can invoice you directly to accommodate the pattern of your choice! \nClick “Register Today” link below to register and purchase from our store) \nWhile ZOOM can allow very large groups — I like to keep this group manageable so that each student can get the attention and support they need. \nSo don’t wait!  Register today.

SUMMARY:Dresden Neighborhood for the Holidays
DESCRIPTION:Who’s Over My Neighborhood?\nIsn’t this a fun holiday quilt? It’s fast\, too! And other than the background – you probably have plenty of fabrics in your stash or scrap bin to construct your neighborhood!  A fusible appliqué project – it will go faster than you can imagine. And Santa and the reindeer will come with your pattern – pre-fused and pre-cut! I also will have kits available  precut / pre-fused (fabrics similar but not exactly matching the image or in your seasonal request). All you will need to add is your background fabric!  This is a fun quilt and you could easily adapt it to Halloween or leave the sky blue\, add a waving flag and make it a patriotic neighborhood.  When you discover how easy these fun quilts are to make – and how quickly they go 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 around the applique – you’ll be able to finish them without needing the services of a long arm quilter! \nBobKat’s Unique Online Courses\nJoin me and I will teach you everything you need to know – from the minute you register until your quilt top is complete. I’ll be there to support you and answer your questions! We’ll make sure you understand the Zoom platform first. Then if you are new to applique (or even if you are not!) we’ll discuss the steps for creating your own beautiful machine appliqué quilts. \nBest 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 attend in your jammies with your coffee or Coke right next to your machine where it always sits! 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 try 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. \nCourse Schedule\nClass Dates are as follows\n\nOptional Using Zoom – Getting set up and ready to go! – email me and we will set up a one-on-one Zoom Intro before the first class!  \nClass #1 – Monday\, October 12   from 9:30 AM – 12:00 PM (CDT)\nClass #2 – Monday\, October 19  from 9:30 AM – 12:00 PM (CDT)\n\nYou’ll receive your supplies list and pattern and everything upon registration. \nIf you are a Zoom novice\, or if you’re nervous about your equipment or set up\,  we’ll make sure you understand how it all works before the actual quilting class begins. \nWant to participate but you work during the day? Classes are recorded so you can watch them at your convenience – day or night. 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!  I’ll be here for you! \nMy Promise to you – I will make myself available between class sessions should you have questions or need a little help along the way! You won’t be stuck and unable to proceed. I’ll only be an email or text message or video chat away. \nA Great Value!\nYour course fee of $90 includes the following: \n\nAll instructional classes\nSanta holiday applique prefused ready to go\nDresden ruler\nDresden Neighborhood quilt pattern\nOn going support until your project is completed.\n\nWhile I can reach hundreds with an online course\, I keep my online class size limited so I can provide personal attention and support.   Don’t wait! Reserve your spot today! \nPurchase your Ticket below\nI  look forward to Zooming with you soon! \nQuestions?   Email me: Kathy@BobKatQuilt.com
