Sundial
|
Sundial is a wonderful project for beginner, intermediate and advanced students, with all straight-lined foundation strip piecing, and some very gradually curved piecing required for final assembly. It is compatible with Quiltworx 48-piece 2-1/2” strip sets and can also be expanded using Quiltworx On-Point Expansion packages (listed on under Related Products on the pattern page), which would bring this design to 99” square.

Our location in Northwest Montana, adjacent to the Quiltworx Warehouse inspires creativity and excitement. With two Certified Shops within 15 minutes of the Retreat Center, Quiltworx-inspired shopping is plentiful!
And, with mountains and lakes out your back door, there’s plenty of extra exploring to be had. Book an extra day and tour Glacier National Park or ski at Whitefish Mountain Resort or drive or kayak the shores of Flathead Lake! Attend a trunk show where Judy will show you her latest and favorite quilts in her own collection, and learn Quiltster from staff in a one on one or group setting. And don’t forget, we pamper you from sun up to sun down. Your only responsibility is to sew as much as you like, with someone there to help you through every step of the way, no matter what project(s) you choose. If you can’t make a scheduled retreat, the Quiltworx Training Center is also available for your own personal sewing get-away, any time you like! Book a couple days with friends or even just yourself to get away from it all and sew. Judy and instructor staff is even available for hourly bookings (3 hours a day, maximum) if you’d just like someone to help get you started each day! For custom and nightly booking rates and options, review the website and check the calendar for openings when you’d like to come. Then, call Quiltworx and we’ll help you book your customized stay!

INTRODUCING QUILTWORX WORX SESSIONS!
FREE Online Classes Featuring the New Amethyst Pattern
On September 15th, Judy Niemeyer will be holding her first ever workshop on our Youtube Channel. This workshop will be free, available forever after it is posted, and is called a Quiltworx Worx Session. The quilt she will help you make is the Amethyst pattern. The September 15th class will be focused on a block called Moon Star, and will begin at 12:00 noon, Mountain Time, include two (1 hour and 15 minute sessions), followed by a Facebook Live Event that will air around 3:30 p.m. Additional Worx Sessions to make the Woven Star block and the Razor Star and Background blocks will happen on October 20th and November 17th. If you can’t make the workshop launch dates and times, don’t worry! You can join us for this workshop on our Youtube Channel any time!
Patterns are available on our website or through your favorite quilt shop. A Work Sessions with Judy Niemeyer event is located on Facebook. You can join this event and find shops that are sponsoring in-store events, have kits available, and are able to help you along the way with your own specific needs!
You can also join us on the Quiltworx Support Network to network with others that are creating this pattern along with Judy, and even use Quiltster to design your own colorway.
Is Quiltster a mystery to you?
Check out this video on how to color the Amethyst pattern.
To make sure you have everything you need for the workshop, watch our pre-class preparation video and be sure to subscribe to Quiltworx on Youtube so that you don’t miss out on important content!
Make Amethyst with us. We can’t wait to share our techniques with you!

Many of these patterns are also being prepared for the Quiltster App! If you’ve never heard of Quiltster, it’s an incredible fabric auditioning software that allows you to pick and choose fabrics before you spend money.

Wholesale purchases are available to those approved with a wholesale account. Visit our wholesale page to order (minimum purchase of 3 and advance approval of wholesale account is required). Amethyst We’re so excited to introduce Amethyst, Quiltworx.com’s first ever “Work Sessions” pattern which comes with free online classes on YouTube!

With Mixers, you can DEFINITELY save money over all. Say you bought all 5 patterns in the Sunrise Mixer series (Allisyn’s Wondered Land, Shattered Ruby, Sunsations Magnolia, Lakeshore Sunrise, and Butterfly Garden) the patterns would cost a total of $290. However, if you buy all the mixers, plus one Instruction Intro that works with all of them, the cost is only $245! That saves $45 for those of you that collect patterns, which is nearly 50% of your Quiltster account cost each year. And, your collection still includes everything you need to make ALL 5 patterns. Plus, you can mix and match and create something that no one else has, and you can see what your quilt looks like in advance. You can see where Quiltster and Mixers can really give our valued customers, like you, more flexibility and more control, and the ability to BE UNIQUE!

What's New in July 2018
6 New Patterns Are Now Available! These patterns are now available for purchase on our website, and the fabric lines are available in a quilt shop near you! There will also be digitized quilting designs available in the near future. Many of these patterns are also being prepared for the Quiltster App! If you’ve never heard of Quiltster, it’s an incredible fabric auditioning software that allows you to pick and choose fabrics before you spend money. Look for the Quiltster Compatible logo on the patterns below, and click the quilt images or links to learn more about each pattern, find replacement papers, see samples made by Quiltworx.com and others, find kitting information, and purchase the pattern! Wholesale purchases are available to those approved with a wholesale account. Visit our wholesale page to order (minimum purchase of 3 and advance approval of wholesale account is required). Solar Flares Solar Flares is a Quiltworx favorite now in a new colorway designed to create a scrappy look using 2-1/2″ strips from the Prismatic Strip Set, a collection of 48 fabrics sorted into 6 groups of 8 fabrics ranging from light to dark colors. Summer Solstice Having run out of papers for this pattern, Summer Solstice has been revamped to a size that’s compatible with other mixer blocks currently available in Quiltster. We’ve removed the Y-seams, and floated several points that were previously challenging to keep perfect and have also updated the technique for the lone star block to current technique standards. Please note that this pattern is not compatible with the previous version. Bali Wedding Star The latest version of our very popular Bali Wedding Star has been refreshed using 2 of our newest strip sets, Prismatic and Gypsy, and the instructions have been updated to offer two layout options. The Rainbow Garden layout option is pictured on the cover sheet and quilt sample, but we’ve kept instructions for the more random layout option too! Kaleidoscope Part of the Kaleidoscope Wall Hanging Mixer, Kaleidoscope was designed using 24 diamonds including the Basket Star and Woven Star blocks. We love these mixer patterns because their easily expandable to 80″x80″ or even 99″x99″ with compatible border mixers to suit your fancy. Rainbow Crystal Rainbow Crystal is a great pattern for the beginner to intermediate quilter because there are no Y-seams or curved piecing. Blue Lagoon Created from the Queen Star Mixer, Blue Lagoon is inspired by tropical waters, and bright colorful fish. It’s created from 48 diamonds in four different layouts including: the Ribbon Star, Razor Star, the 16-Colored Diamond, and the Blank Diamond. The diamonds are surrounded by the Spiked Ring Background which really makes a splash (pun intended). Have You Seen Our Mixers? For those of you that are crazy addicted to Quiltworx patterns, have you considered the value of Mixers? With Mixers, you can DEFINITELY save money over all.

Two NEW Digital Quilt Designs – Now Available!
We’re pleased to present the newest additions to our digital quilting library. If you’re looking for rich, beautiful, heirloom-quality designs that fit our latest patterns perfectly, they’ve arrived! Most can be purchased as a complete package or in individual units, and are compatible with most commercial machines that can read quilting design files. Refer to the QUILT DESIGN web pages below for details. Please note, spaces that are shown as blank in the design were quilted using line work following the shape of the units and pieces in the blocks. This type of quilting approach is typically easier to accomplish and place without a digitized option. It is up to you how you choose to quilt these open spaces! To see how we quilted the open spaces, click on the links below labeled “QUILT DESIGN“, and hover over the “Alternate Views” images. Snowy River Hosta Queen
Summer Solstice Queen
