Ready, Set, Plan Your Projects!

PLAN YOUR PROJECT!
There are three options for selecting the pattern and your fabrics:
OPTION 1 – PURCHASE A PUBLISHED PATTERN AND PREPARE YOUR OWN PROJECT: Purchase the Maritime Compass pattern through Quiltworx or Stitchin’ Heaven once signups are allowed, and we will ship upon publication in February 2024. The price hasn’t been set yet, but will be available once ordering for the event opens up in December 2023. Yardage charts will be available at the same time as pricing so you can begin sourcing your fabric as well. 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 Compass 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 Stitchin’ Heaven! 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.

Maritime Compass Pattern
This pattern can be ordered through Quiltworx or Stitchin’ Heaven once published in February 2024. At that time, we’ll provide yardage information so you can prepare your own kit. If you would like a kit, you can contact Stitchin’ Heaven directly to create one.

Compass 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 Texas 2024 to get started). Once you have opened the desired project (by clicking Customize) and given it a name, save it to your account.
Hang on to your projects (and endlessly tinker) until ordering is open in mid-December 2023. We’ll send out a announcement that ordering is open! At that time, 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 60 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 a $40 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. For this option, click on this link to pay the Design Fee, and then email judel@quiltworx.com letting her know which blocks you want and any inspirations for design and color. 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.

PROJECT SNEAK PEEK!
Judy and Brad are developing a project especially for this event and you! We’re pleased to announce that your exclusive project will be the Mariner’s Compass Mixer Series. We’re updating and redesigning our Technique of the Month pattern, standardizing the size to accommodate our newest Expansion Borders, and adding our newest techniques for piecing and assembly.
We will be opening up the coloring phase of the workshop in early November, so the layouts and blocks are not quite ready to select and color in Quiltster yet, but we’re thrilled with the new block designs that are coming, and can’t wait to share them with everyone! Here’s a sneak peek at a few of the design possibilities! The images below are all 99×99, but, there will also be 68″, 80″, and 118″ quilt layouts and blocks to choose from!
