Lauren Rogers' Judy Niemeyer Workshop

Have you ever been in awe any of Judy Niemeyer patterns (or envied your friend’s completed JN projects)? We have an awesome opportunity for you!

Lauren Rogers will be leading a 3-day workshop for beginners to Judy Neimeyer’s paper piecing techniques. We have chosen 3 projects for you to choose from: a placemat set, a wallhanging, and a table runner. We hope that all participants will go home with a completed project (or nearly completed project). Patterns will be ordered by Education for you to pick up at Silver Thimble.

Do you already have experience with Judy Neimeyer’s patterns and have some UFO’s? Maybe you have a pattern that has been sitting in your studio. You can join the group for 2 days (Saturday & Sunday) to get help and inspiration from Lauren! You will need to specify in advance what pattern you will be working on so Lauren can be prepared to help.

Time: 9:00 - 4:00 each day

Location: TBD

Cost: $175 for 3 days (for beginners) and $120 for 2 days (for intermediate)
