Not Your Typical Judy Niemeyer Retreat
Hosted by Quiltworx Certified Instructor in Training - Michael Davison and his guest co-teacher, Quiltworx Certified Instructor - Tracy Thompson
September 07-10, 2023
When someone mentions Judy Niemeyer to you, does an image of one of her quilts pop into your head? Do you see a medallion style design with a center star? Do you envision spikes of varying lengths pointing out towards a gaggle or two of flying geese? Do you picture all of this exclusively in shades of batiks? Would you call that image in your head a typical Judy Niemeyer quilt? What is a typical Judy Niemeyer quilt? Is there such a thing? To many quilters who were introduced to Judy Niemeyer and her foundation paper piecing methods back in the late 1990’s, this might be an ongoing assumption of what a Judy Niemeyer quilt might look like - and many of those elements that created the Judy Niemeyer look are still alive and well in even her newest patterns. But times change. Judy and her pattern publishing company, Quiltworx has changed. Now would be a great time to reacquaint yourself with Judy Niemeyer Quiltworx and reassess that image you might have in your head about what a “typical” Judy Niemeyer Quiltworx quilt is.
Michael and his guest, Certified Instructor Tracy Thompson will not only teach and demonstrate basic Quiltworx foundation paper piecing techniques developed by Judy Niemeyer to help you construct your own quilt, but will also introduce you to a new world of design and coloring possibilities of Judy’s patterns. Michael will guide you through the steps he takes to create unique quilts, based on all the elements Judy Niemeyer and Quiltworx has to offer, and see them come to life with fabric and color through the use of Quiltster, a digital quilt coloring and planning tool.
Your weekend includes:
-
4 days, 3 nights accommodations
-
All meals included
-
Two fabulous Quiltworx patterns and kits to choose from that will be precut into strips for you
-
A weekend to learn new techniques and the ins and outs of Judy Niemeyer patterns!
Option 1: Sundial featuring Tula Pink's True Colors 68"x68"
Option 2: Summer Solstice featuring Laundry Basket Favorites Linen Texture 60"x60"
Cost of the weekend: $599 *half payment options available when you register!*
