“If you ever have the opportunity to retreat at Quiltworx.com in Montana, run, don’t walk. Sign up now! I’m having a blast sewing with 10 wonderful new friends from all around the US and Canada in a beautiful, comfortable retreat center directly across from the Quiltworx offices, production center and warehouses. The amount of individual instruction that Judy Niemeyer provides, along with demonstrations, tours, and trunk shows is amazing. I’m looking at my calendar to figure out when I can come back!”

Congo Star was my Oct 2024 Quiltworx University retreat project which was held in beautiful Kalispell, MT. Almost all of the fabrics are Tim Holtz. I colored my project in Quiltster. I quilted it on my Babylock Crown Jewel, all hand guided & ruler work. The backing is a wide back batik I got at the Quilt Gallery in Kalispell! This quilt is my son’s 2024 Xmas present, a little late! He has lived in MT for over 14 years now. My sister, Karen Preusser, was with me at the retreat. She spotted an eagle through the windows at the retreat center! I never thought I might enjoy some eagle watching during a quilting retreat!
