As you have come to expect with Quiltworx University your week will be an all-inclusive quilting retreat packed with learning and fun with Judy Niemeyer and her wonderful team of teachers giving you personalized instructions on Judy’s legendary foundation paper-piecing techniques as well as traditional piecing, curved piecing, strip piecing, and appliqué.

Students will have the opportunity to learn a process which simplifies and minimizes waste that has come to be associated with many common foundation paper piecing methods. In addition, you will learn how to use templates and speed-cutting techniques as well as chain-piecing and curved piecing techniques. Your time will also incorporate instruction on selecting colors, designing unique layouts of her patterns, and useful instruction regarding sewing and overall organization. Judy will be on hand to share many of her short cuts and tips when doing her own paper piecing. She will also demonstrate the use of the tools and products she has found over the years that are extremely helpful in completing her patterns.

Don’t miss this once in lifetime opportunity to combine your desire for quilting with a trip to Shipshewana, Indiana!

Retreat costs for the week will be determined very soon but for now, an initial deposit of $500 will hold your registration spot. This deposit will become non-refundable on March 10, 2027. Remaining retreat costs will be due by August 1, 2027.

We can’t wait to see you! ~ Sincerely, the Quiltworx University Team, Yoder Department Store.
