Love your Quilt of Thorns! Very pretty!
I also love Judy N quilts. Time consuming, but beautiful.

I also took a class on making her quilts back in 2009. Loved it was my first time to do paper piecing. Here is picture it was not quilted at the time just a completed top. I believe I gave it to my sister do not have a picture of it quilted though :( It was her pattern " Quilt of Thorns". I sold a couple of her patterns I had as someone was looking for some.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]422111[/ATTACH] I have 4 more of her patterns but have so many UFO's I hate to start anything else right now. I still have " The." Feathered Goose", " Briar Patch", " North American Bear Paw", " Goosberry Garden." She has some really nicce news available that are calling my name but have too many patterns now waiting to be made :o |
Love, love, love the quilts. They are so beautiful and colorful! But I believe they are more than a couple steps above my ability level --- for the moment!

I started the Bali Wedding Star with Judy as teacher and it's sitting in the pile. I still want to finish it, but get sidetracked. I am going to do one from her Lone Star series in November when she comes to my LQS.

Yes JN quilts are not for the faint of heart. My JN "Feathered Goose" is at the LA quilters, orherwise I'd proudly display it. It was a lot of work!!

I have been drooling over Judy's quilts for a couple of years. I love to paper piece. My next project might be her Mariners Compass quilt. I have the pattern and have been studying it for weeks. There aren't any certified shops in this area. I think the closest is 200 miles. The LQS that I don't like was talking about getting certified not sure if she ever did. I guess I will have to do it on my own. I bought fabric for the background yesterday. Not sure about the rest of it. Can't wait to start.

Hey buddy, I'm so happy to see you back on here now. I'll bet your work is great & I'm anxious to see pix of your progress. Welcome back, Your buddy |
They are truly amazing patterns and not for the faint of heart!

I receive Judy Niemeyer's newsletter. Yesterday their newsletter announced that four of Judy's patterns are on sale through 7/5/13 for 40% off. The patterns that are on sale are Sea Urchins, Fourth of July, Rain Drops and Total Eclipse. I immediately ordered them before they ran out!

I am planning to do one of the 3-day retreats offered by Pinwheels and Posies, but it's going to have to wait until 2014, since I'm saving the rest of this year's vacation time for the Quilt Festival. It's great being a quilter and living in the Houston area. There are so many wonderful LQSs and the Quilt Festival right in our backyard!

I started paper piecing with Carol Doak. I like the precision. I also am a Judy Niemeyer fan. I attended a class in February taught by Judy in Tucson, AZ. Wow what am experience. I am working on the Coxcomb. I changed the colorway to bright orange, turquoise and muted burgundies. Once you see the repetitive steps it is easy to break the patterns down. The process appeals to the my creative geek side. Through the class I also found a Long Arm quilter who uses Judy's digitized patterns. My next Judy Niemeyer experience will be quilt retreat in Montana.
