PLAN YOUR PROJECT!
There are three options for selecting the pattern and your fabrics:
OPTION 1 – PURCHASE A PUBLISHED PATTERN (COMING AUGUST 2023) AND PREPARE YOUR OWN PROJECT: Purchase the Dragon’s Tail pattern for $72.00 through Quiltworx when it publishes in August 2023. Once you have purchased your pattern, you will choose your own fabrics from your stash or as desired. With this option, you will be responsible for cutting your fabrics to the strip size, labeling them, and bagging them so that you are ready for class.
OPTION 2 – CHOOSE A PRE-DESIGNED KIT: Select one of the Stella Maris mixer kits, exclusive for this event! There are several pre-designed kit options that have been created for you to choose from. You will have a Quiltster account for six months (from sign up) as part of your event and will need to use it to purchase your project if you choose one of these options.
OPTION 3 – DESIGN YOUR OWN CUSTOM QUILT: Create your own completely customized quilt, where you pick the combination of blocks for your quilt and your favorite fabric collections from the list offered by Pine Needles Quilt and Sew! If you haven’t received it already, any day (or upon sign-up!) you’ll receive a 6 month subscription to Quiltster, allowing you the opportunity to mix and match blocks and fabrics in 4 different quilt sizes to achieve your perfectly unique quilt! You may use Quiltster, or contact Judel Niemeyer for an additional design fee to help you create your perfect quilt.

Stella Maris Mixer Kits
If choosing blocks and fabrics seems overwhelming, we’re also offering the following exclusive fabric kits only available to event attendees.
If you select this option, we’ll cut the kit, and prepare it for the class. We’ll bring the kits to the workshop for you so there is no preparation needed!
To order these options, you’ll need to find the one you want in Quiltster (click on Quilt Planner from your Dashboard, then scroll down to the bottom and click the blue Enter button next to Quiltworx University MISA 2023 to get started). Once you have opened the desired project (by clicking Customize) and given it a name, save it to your account.
When kits are ready to be purchased, you can click the Add to Cart button and it will walk you through the order submission process. All you need to do then is show up at the event!

Create your own completely customized quilt, by selecting a quilt size and blocks for each section of the quilt shown below along with fabrics from over 35 collections!
There are two ways to do this:
- Use Quiltster! Prior to this event, you’ll receive a 6 month subscription to Quiltster (as part of the fee for attending the event), allowing you the opportunity to mix and match blocks and fabrics in 4 different quilt sizes and 4 different layouts to achieve your perfectly unique quilt!
- We’ll Design it With You! For an additional design fee, you can work one on one with Judel Niemeyer as she uses Quiltster to mix and match blocks and fabrics to create your one of a kind quilt. You’ll have final approval before your quilt is kitted.
Whether you use Quiltster on your own, or have us do it, your finalized quilt kit will be prepared for you and brought to the event for you to complete! No preparation on your end will be needed!

BLOCK AND FABRIC OPTIONS
Your options for blocks and fabrics are shown below. If you have any questions about how to use Quiltster, we strongly encourage you to visit the Quiltster Youtube Channel and watch some tutorials before you get started.
Here’s a valuable video (not directly related to this project, but related to the Quiltworx University Planning process) which gives you a great walk-through of how the program works. While the video below is in an older version of Quiltster that looks slightly different than yours, once you click into the Quilt Editor, the process works the same. Click the image below to watch the tutorial.

Meet the Certified Instructors!
Kristen and Elsa will be on hand teaching along side Judy. Each of them will be demonstrating the techniques for making of the blocks in your quilt! You’ll know step by step what you need to do to complete your beautiful quilt.
Kristen Bender • Minnetonka, MN
Kristen has been teaching since 2011 and is thrilled to share Judy’s techniques, tips & tricks with others. She loves to see students’ eyes light up with excitement when they learn about them for the first time.
Her passion for sewing began in Germany at age 9, when she sat with her mother and sewed clothes for her dolls. After she discovered quilting in 2004 her patchwork addiction was born. When she’s not quilting/teaching, she manages an office full of non-quilters and enjoys spending time with her husband and golden retriever.

Elsa Neubauer • Greenville, SC
Elsa’s love of the sewing and creating started young. She made her first quilt in her teens, but was not in love with the processes. In the early 2000s, Elsa decided to give quilting a try again. She saw a Quiltworx ad in a quilting magazine and knew she was up for the challenge and wanted to make that quilt.
She found a quilt shop offering a class and made her first Quiltworx quilt, Summer Solstice. Since then she has attended numerous retreats and has now made over 40 Quiltworx projects and has many more in the queue.
Elsa loves to share the Quiltworx processes with quilters and has many years of experience in teaching adult learners at a variety of skill levels.
