Weeping Willow Tonga Treat Strip Set

The following two quilts were made using a limited release strip set called the Weeping Willow Strip Set designed by Judy and Judel Niemeyer, with Timeless Treasures.  The strips are Tonga Batiks, all with the same print, but in 20 different colors, with 2 of each strip included the package.

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 Fabrics

The 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,
using the 8” Hexi Block Charm Element by Quiltworx.com!

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. For more information on Charm Elements, click HERE.

The Quiltster app has been developed by Judy’s son, Billy, as a way to audition fabrics and help plan quilts anywhere, anytime, and on any device in a user-friendly, visual operating platform designed with the quilting consumer in mind.  Learn how to use this tool to plan kits, design unique projects exclusive to your own shop, interact with your consumers, and improve your customer service through increased confidence at the point of sale in the fabrics selected for each quilt.  There will be iPads for you to take Quiltster for a test drive, a large display showcasing Quiltster in action, and expert staff on hand to answer your questions.

We believe that Quilt Shops are the heart and soul of the quilting industry and Judy’s commitment to shops through teaching programs and Certification programs speaks to our commitment to your success.  A core part of Quiltster’s mission is to provide a unique and efficient tool for shops to create and sell kits.  Shop Owner Service Packs are coming soon, which will have a wide-array of cost-saving features, including, but not limited to:

• Accurate yardage calculations
• Photo-realistic digital samples
• Fabric inventory management directly in Quiltster
• Print-quality quilt renderings
• The ability to create custom cover sheets for your kits
• The ability to create custom layouts using ‘Mixer Patterns’ to create samples unique to your shop
• Working with pre-released fabrics and patterns from wholesale providers
• A sell button, giving you direct access to the Quiltster Consumer within the Quiltster Environment
• Creation of unique “Quilt Signs” from your kits for decorating your shop and displaying rendered kits
• As a fabric provider, Quiltster will send you quilters hunting for that perfect bolt
• Kit marketing in growing social networking venues managed by Quiltster (i.e. Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram)

We hope to see you there, and show you how Quiltster can take your business to the next level, saving you time and money, and setting you apart from other quilt shops.

With the Wildflowers Collection you’ll be like a kid in a candy store.  The bright candy colored fabrics feature a wide variety of wildflowers and garden creatures that come together in a bright rainbow pallet that make for show-stopping quilts.

In contrast, our Lakeshore Batiks feature fabrics 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.

You won’t want to miss being the first to see all of the stunning quilts showcasing these two beautiful fabric lines at the Timeless Treasures Schoolhouse.  With almost 20 projects to launch these two collections, and more to come from both over the coming months (including additional coordinating batik collections and an expanded line of Wildflower Cottons in the spring), this schoolhouse will set the stage for several months of project planning for Quiltworx!  If your customers are avid Quiltworx fans, you’ll want to be here so you are ready to serve as their go-to resource!

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.

Craftsy Dresden Plate

Announcing the Quiltworx Dresden Plate!  This is the first Quiltworx block exclusively designed with instructions available in the excellent Visual Learning Environment offered by Craftsy.com.  As a departure from our current publication process where patterns include full instructions and papers, the Quiltworx Dresden Plate must be obtained by purchasing a workshop from Craftsy, taught by Certified Instructor, Jackie Kunkel, then either downloading papers as part of class materials (downloadable files are only available through Craftsy.com, after purchasing the class), or purchasing the optional newsprint packages from either Quiltworx.com or Craftsy.com.

Promise Ring

The Promise Ring pattern is a Cut Loose Press pattern, which 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 like our Creative Grids Diamond Wedding Ring Ruler set.

Seasonal Gatherings Table Toppers

The Seasonal Gatherings Table Topper pattern is a new layout created from our Seasonal Portraits fabric collection for the Quiltworx Circling Geese block. It creates two possible 4 x 4 overlapping circlular layouts, one with a squared off border and the other with a scalloped border.

Sunflower Illusions

The Sunflower Illusions has been updated to include Template Layout Sheets on the newsprint with some small updates to Template Layout Sheet format and cutting information. The cover quilt is shown in two colorways from our Bird of Paradise Batiks Collection, one with a light background and one with a dark background, and the instructions have been updated to include both versions!

Starburst 2015

The Starburst 2015 Pattern is a classic Quiltworx design that Judy and Brad completed back in 2000. It has been out of publication for around three years and is returning to you now with new borders, an updated sample, a quilting design, and new instructions!

Winter Wonderland

The Winter Wonderland Table Runner uses the snowflake block from the center of the Glacier Star, which is also featured in Simple Elements Design, Ice Crystals. This little snowflake is point intensive, but delicate, classy, and versatile!

Cactus Flower Applique

We are SO EXCITED about this!!! We now have our first official set of applique pieces available that use Stitch-N-Peel, laser cut to the shape of our applique design for the Cactus Rose and Pepperdish pattern.  The Cactus Flower Impressions Stabilizer Kit will give you the PERFECT turn under applique pieces, and you can pick your own fabrics!

Linda Tellesbo Legacy Trunk Shows

Linda Tellesbo 1950-2014

Harvest Moon

The Harvest Moon is a wonderful beginner’s pattern using our introductory blocks for flying geese and cactus flowers in a fun and colorful 6” block layout designed to show off your favorite batik collection!

This version was done in our Firestorm Batiks Collection from Timeless Treasures.

If you are interested, there is also a collection of Digitized Quilting Designs meant for these blocks.

Tarnished Windmill

The Tarnished Windmill pattern was inspired by our Reclaimed West fabric line and incorporates the windmill block designed for that collection.  The instructions introduce new techniques that make piecing the lone star blocks more efficient, and help to eliminate fabric waste, AND there are now Y-seams during the assembly process!

For those interested, here’s a link to the Digital Quilting Design.

Woodcarver’s Star

Also inspired by the Reclaimed West fabric line, the Woodcarver’s Star pattern, is a queen version of the block used in Prismatic Star.  It can be completed with 2-1/2” strips, and has been designed without Y-Seams.  It incorporates the windmill block developed with the Reclaimed West fabric collection and it is Judy’s first Broken Star Quilt Design.  Requiring just under 21 Yards of fabric, this Queen-Size quilt may be one of the most efficient Queen designs Quiltworx has ever published.

We also offer a stunning Digital Quilting Design for this pattern, available in as complete set or as individual units.
