November 2020 Program and Workshop
Judy Niemeyer will be our featured guest and presenter at the November meeting. Guild members should watch their email for details about the workshop; those who are not guild members but would like to take the workshop will see the information posted in the "2020 Programs" section on this blog when details are published.
Judy Niemeyer is an internationally renowned quilt pattern
designer and instructor. Her pattern company, Quiltworx.com, focuses on
foundation paper piecing. Quiltworx.com patterns have become loved by
customers due to detailed instructions, the inclusion of all of the papers,
which are pre-printed, labeled, and included in the pattern on newsprint.
When meeting Judy in a workshop, students are instantly put at ease by her
laid-back, but productive teaching style, not to mention, the endless sewing
tips and techniques she has perfected over the years to make even the newest
quilters confident and accomplished artists.
Quiltworx.com has been in business for 20 years and is now a world-wide company
with a Certified Shop and Instructor program that not only reaches across the
United States and Canada, but also into Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia,
South Africa, and Europe. Judy works with her son, Bradley, to create the
pattern designs, and her daughter Judel manages her business, helps with the
design of fabric collections, and facilitates the publication of the
ever-growing inventory (nearing 200 designs) of paper-pieced pattern
designs. She publishes around 8 to 15 new pattern designs each year,
teaches internationally, leads a team of instructors in a unique teaching
experience called a Quiltworx University, designs fabric with Timeless
Treasures, has a line of notions specific to Paper Piecing, and offers week
long retreats in Montana, at the Quiltworx Training Center. She makes her
home on the shores of Flathead Lake in Northwest Montana with her husband,
Del. And, together, they have three children, Brad, Billy, and Judel, and
7 grandchildren that spend their summers with Grandma and Grandpa.
