We’ve been super busy updating patterns with new techniques and creating samples with our newest fabric lines designed by Judy and Judel Niemeyer with Timeless Treasures. The following patterns are now available for purchase on our website, and the fabric lines are available in a quilt shop near you! Click the images or links below 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). Weeping Willow Tonga Treat Strip Set
Stepping Stones Stepping Stones was designed for all skill levels making this a fun and easy quilt for any beginner or advanced quilter to make up in just a few days. The pattern was republished in November of 2015. Wisteria Lane Wisteria Lane, a very unique display of color introduced as a Chevron Wall Hanging, will add a splash of color to any Modern or Southwestern living décor as a Wall Hanging, Couch Throw, Table Topper or Bed Runner. Lakeshore Batiks Collection
This next quilt features Lakeshore Batik fabrics which were designed around some of Northwest Montana’s most famous lake shores, where waters are a rich turquoise color, the glacial rock deposits are deep reds and purples and shine brightly in the clear mountain waters where wheat fields line the shore. Stay tuned for more beautiful quilts created using this bright collection. Lakeshore Sunrise
The Lakeshore Sunrise pattern was designed after the Prismatic Star using the same techniques, adding a border, and setting the stage for a wide range of quilt sizes that feature the exploded lone star design. A circling flying geese block was designed to frame the exploded star and a large open background was added to showcase quilting designs. Robert Kaufman FabricsThe next quilts have been long awaited and were created using Robert Kaufman Collections. Southern Belles The Southern Belles pattern was designed to feature our newest lone star technique using 1-inch diamonds to complete a 20″ block. We bordered the blocks with a very traditional antique quilt layout consisting of tiny spiked borders and floating stars. The quilt was designed with two different border options and two different sizes. The overall impact is a soft, vintage deep south quilt with no Y-seams, simple construction, only three different techniques, and will be available soon in expanded sizes. Digitized Quilting Designs are also available for this layout! Southern Belles was created using the Penny and Friends fabric line, or choose your favorite line of vintage/reproduction fabrics! Into the Northwoods Into the Northwoods was designed around the Robert Kaufman Batik Collection, Northwoods. Robert Kaufman called us and expressed interest in our Glacier Pines quilt design, so we took advantage of this and started designing new 20″ blocks to fit in the center of the set-in borders. This pattern is first in a line of designs that will show different 20″ center designs, which will ultimately be published through our Charm Elements program, to mix and match and make your favorite layout.
Northern Star Table Topper
Cut Loose Press Pattern by Cindi McCracken Designs,
The Northern Star Table Topper pattern is different than a traditional Quiltworx pattern in that it utilizes various tools and Charm Elements to create fast, fun, projects and layouts aimed at the beginner or a customer that simply wants to try out a fast project to learn a new technique or how to use a new tool.

October Newsletter
We’ve been super busy, and the following patterns are now available for purchase on our website! Click the images or links below 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). Amazon Star The Amazon Star has been recently updated in a new color palette using Malam Batiks designed by Jinny Beyer, with RJR fabrics! The wonderful spring inspired color palette is reminiscent of lilac flowers, and is a refreshing departure from the original color palette of the Amazon Star in rich golds, greens, and browns. This quilt sample was created by Certified Instructor, Kristen Bender! Cozy Cabin Comforts The Cozy Cabin Comforts pattern is a variation on one of the Geese Migrations book designs called Cabin Comforts designed by Certified Shop, Cottonpicker’s Quilt Shop located in Chardon, OH. The updated design allows for quilters to complete only some of the geese and star blocks, which finish to 24″, and fill the open spaces with a variety of 24″ block options to create something unique and different. We used fabrics from our Seasonal Portraits fabric collection to create a window to Northwest Montana. Maple Leaf Flurries
The Maple Leaf Flurries is a wall quilt size version of the Indian Summer Pattern! This pattern was created using a simple color palette from our Seasonal Portraits Collection to accentuate the maple leaf element of the quilt pattern and provide a great introductory pattern using one of our simpler foundation units! Prickly Pinecones Tree Skirt This pattern is the first design in our collection of patterns to teach one of Judy’s latest innovative techniques, the basted registration point. You’ll never misalign large units again using this approach! The perfectly spaced spikes, rich, chocolate and vanilla color palette (from our Seasonal Portraits Collection), and log cabin center star are sure to make your Christmas Celebration just a little more inviting! We are sure to have one under our tree this year! Starling Murmurations Starling Murmurations is a companion pattern to the Geese Migrations book. You must purchase the book to get the instructions for each of the units in the pattern, but from there, you can follow the instructions included here to put together this fun, introductory, and simple pattern using the large stars and a variety of geese blocks! The cover quilt was made using Hoffman Batiks and the colors mimic a pasture of poppies and swirling starlings, creating a phenomenon called “Murmurations”. Summer Solstice Judy and Judel Niemeyer’s Seasonal Portraits fabrics were used to create the latest cover sheet version of one of our most popular patterns called Summer Solstice! Featured fabrics were designed around some of Northwest Montana’s most famous lakeshores, where waters are a rich turquoise color, the glacial rock deposits are deep reds and purples and shine brightly in the clear mountain waters where wheat fields line the shore. Our Mariner’s Compass inspired solids in the collection are a wonderful reminder of the summer sailboat races across Flathead Lake, with every fabric embracing the season of Summer. Tea Leaf Table Runner Due to its popularity as a staple in our Leaf Collection, the Tea Leaf Table Runner cover sheet was in need of an update using Malam Batiks designed by Jinny Beyer from RJR Fabrics. The colorway was selected and the samples were made by Certified Instructor and Certified Shop Owner, Shahena Fredricks, of Cozy Quilts, in Port Hope, Ontario, Canada.
Three Quiltworx.com Leaf Series Three: Quiltworx Leaf Series, created using our Seasonal Portraits Collection, adds a new leaf design to our Leaf Series Pattern Collection, incorporating three fat leaves is a fun wall quilt concept with the leaves lined up in a row. A curved stem is used to join the two leaf blocks. Judy introduces her NEW Registrations Points Technique, simplifying the process of finding your match points on long seam lines perfectly every time! Rocky Mountain Bear Claw Table Runner and Pillows The Rocky Mountain Bear Claw Table Runner and Pillows utilize a squared up version of one of our newest blocks, a viscous, bright grizzly bear claw featured in the Rocky Mountain Bear Claw quilt pattern (also available for purchase through Quiltworx.com). Fabrics from our Seasonal Portraits, Reclaimed West, and coordinating batik collections were used for these projects. Butterfly Barnyard Baby Blanket Butterfly Barnyard mixes the softness of the 1930s, with an updated, classic border design of repeating spikes to create a fun “fence-inspired” layout, inspired by a barnyard. With appliquéd butterflies to offset the background, you create an adorable baby quilt that is sure to keep every baby it touches wrapped in love. We used a reproduction line by Darlene Zimmerman for Robert Kaufman Fabrics called Penny & Friends and selected two contrasting prints for a simple, modern layout of just one Quiltworx border block.
