Judy Niemeyer Quilt Trunk Show

 My friend

Jackie Kunkel (Canton Village Quilt Works)

flew in all the way from Connecticut

to teach some quilt classes in the Phoenix Metro.

It's always so fun to have her here!

 Jackie is a 

Nationally Certified Judy Niemeyer Teacher,

and started the day off today

with a trunk show/ lecture

at 35th Ave Sew and Vac

I will show you several of Jackie's quilts,

but because she brought so many, I will split

this trunk show up into several posts.

Jackie made

 Sunflower Illusions

in her favorite colors of pink and green

to look like the Asters planted in her yard.

  The original pattern

is an example of

  how different the quilt looks in 

this color way.

 All of Judy N's patterns can be found

on her Quiltworxs web site 

HERE

 Many of Judy Niemeyer's quilts have a 

New York Beauty feel.

Jackie pointed out that Judy designs her patterns

so the stars "float"

Notice how the star ends

have plenty of room within the circle

and are never cut off?

 Love love love this 

Willow Bed Runner

I think it has a Frank Lloyd Wright feel.

 Jackie likes bright, happy colors

and often uses

Kaffe Fassett fabrics for her quilts.

 Indian Summer

is a nice place for a beginner to start

as they learn the 

Judy Niemeyer techniques.

The block really is fairly simple.

Jackie's samples ranged from 

easy to complex.

More tomorrow!
