Quiltworx University - Boise 2025 - Ready, Set, Plan Your Projects!

Ready, Set, Plan Your Projects!

Hello everyone! We're beyond excited about this upcoming retreat, and the beautiful design options Judy and Brad have created especially for you! We're pleased to present your exclusive project, which features exciting NEW blocks and layouts for the Kaleidoscope Mixer series which can be purchased for this workshop through Quiltster or the onsite shop hosted by Stitch n' Snip.

 

⚠️IMPORTANT⚠️

Because of the size and complexity of the project and the class, students MUST work on only the Kaleidoscope Mixer for this event.

PLAN YOUR PROJECT!

Planning your Quiltworx University project offers three exciting paths, each tailored to different quilting preferences and levels of customization.

OPTION 1 - PURCHASE A PUBLISHED PATTERN AND PREPARE YOUR OWN PROJECT: If you prefer to start with a published pattern, this option allows you to purchase Confetti Cake or Fields of Aster patterns through Certified Shop Stitch n' Snip, Quiltworx, or the Quiltster Event Portal (you must be logged into your Quiltster account). With yardage charts included, you’ll source and prepare your own fabric, ensuring everything is cut, labeled, and ready for class. This choice is ideal for quilters who enjoy selecting their own materials while working within a structured design.  

OPTION 2 - CHOOSE A PRE-DESIGNED KIT: For those who prefer a streamlined experience, this option provides pre-designed kits, exclusively created for this event. These Kaleidoscope Mixer kits offer a variety of curated designs, eliminating the need for fabric selection or pattern customization. As part of your enrollment, you will receive a six-month Quiltster account, which is essential for purchasing your kit. This option is perfect for quilters who want a beautifully coordinated project without the extra work of choosing individual elements. 

OPTION 3 - DESIGN YOUR OWN CUSTOM QUILT:  This option offers the ultimate creative freedom, allowing you to design your own custom quilt. Through Quiltster’s platform, you can mix and match blocks, select fabrics from Stitch n' Snip’s collection, and even explore six different quilt sizes for a fully personalized project. Your six-month Quiltster subscription enables you to experiment with endless combinations, or, for additional guidance, you can consult Judel Niemeyer for a design fee to refine your vision. This option is ideal for those who love innovation and want their quilt to be truly one-of-a-kind.

 

⚠️IMPORTANT⚠️

Yardage and purchasing options are not available yet. We're working to have them ready by June 15th. Until then, no need to worry about yardage details or fabric availability!

 

Purchase a Confetti Cake or Fields of Aster Pattern

Both patterns are available for purchase through Stitch n' Snip. If you select Option 1, you will have the flexibility to choose your own fabrics and assemble your kit using the yardage details provided with the pattern. Once you place your order, the pattern will be shipped to you. For those interested in a pre-arranged kit, Stitch n' Snip also offers the option to create one upon request—simply reach out to them directly.

CONFETTI CAKE • 100x100 • $72.00

FIELDS OF ASTER • 91x91 • $87.50

Kaleidoscope Mixer Kits

If selecting blocks and fabrics feels overwhelming, we’ve got you covered with exclusive fabric kits designed by Judel Niemeyer and Anna Gardner of Stitch n' Snip—available only to event attendees.

By choosing this option, we’ll handle all the prep work for you. Your kit will be cut and fully prepared for class, eliminating the need for any advance preparation. We’ll bring it directly to the workshop, so all you have to do is start sewing!

To order, locate your desired kit in Quiltster by clicking on Quilt Planner from your Dashboard. Scroll down to the bottom and click the blue Enter button next to Quiltworx University Boise 2025 to begin. Open the project by clicking Customize, give it a name, and save it to your account.

Hold onto your project and refine it as much as you like until ordering opens in mid-June 2025. We’ll send out an announcement when it’s time! Once ordering is live, simply click Add to Cart, follow the checkout process, and your kit will be ready for the event. Choose one—or more—of Judel and Anna’s inspiring designs!

Create a completely customized quilt by selecting your preferred quilt size, blocks for each section, and fabrics from over 120 collections!

You have two ways to bring your vision to life:

  1. Use Quiltster! As part of your event enrollment, you’ll receive a six-month subscription to Quiltster, allowing you to experiment with different combinations. Mix and match blocks and fabrics across six quilt sizes and eight unique layouts to create your perfect design.
  2. Let Us Design It With You! For a $40 design fee, you can collaborate one-on-one with Judel Niemeyer as she uses Quiltster to craft your ideal quilt. Simply pay the Design Fee, then email judel@quiltworx.com with your preferred blocks and any inspirations for color and design. You’ll have final approval before your quilt is kitted.

No matter which approach you choose, we’ll handle all the fabric preparation. Your quilt kit will be cut to exact strip sizes, meticulously labeled, and ready for you to begin cutting out templates. It will be waiting at your quilting station, so there’s no prep work required—just arrive and start creating!

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.
