Beginning Intro to Judy Niemeyer Quiltworx Paper Piecing with Michael Davison - Fri & Sat, Mar 1-2, 2024
Have you ever wanted to make a Judy Niemeyer quilt but were too intimidated by the lengthy instructions and extensive paper piecing techniques? This entry level friendly approach workshop will teach you everything you need to know at a very comfortable pace and with individual attention.
You will learn how to read Quiltworx patterns, understand Judy Niemeyer’s paper-piecing techniques and organizational methods, and complete several small samples, so that basic techniques can be practiced.
You supply the fabrics, Michael will supply you with foundation papers to practice the sample cactus flower blocks while you are learning. Your sample blocks could become part of a larger project, if you would like.
