WATERMELON PLACEMAT - INTRO TO JUDY NIEMEYER QUILTWORX PAPER PIECING 2-DAY WORKSHOP

Do Judy Niemeyer quilts leave you inspired and intimidated at the same time? In this workshop, we’ll take away the intimidation factor with a step-by-step approach to one of Judy’s beginner friendly patterns in a laid-back, stress-free environment. We’ll start by talking about how to read a Quiltworx pattern. Learn to cut and organize your papers and fabric to make paper piecing a breeze. Assemble the units with Judy’s easy curved-piecing. Finally, use Judy’s method of machine appliqué and watch the stitches almost disappear into the fabric. You’ll have lots of practice in basic paper piecing techniques and be well on your way to completing a set of six placemats - size 18" x 13".

Techniques used include: Curved Piecing, Cut Out Template, Cutting and Preparing Foundation Papers, Floating Points, Paper Piecing Template, Paper Piecing Tutorial, Templates and Template Layout Sheets, and Tools for Paper Pieced Quilting.
