Hello Everyone,
My final class at Vermont Quilt Festival, the Mini Stars Table Runner. A fun class to teach and take. Large and small LeMoyne Stars all done with paper piecing. This is great because it is relatively quick and it is just a table runner.
These students were terrific too. Let's see what they did.
Hello Everyone,

I took tons of photos, I will share a few here. But then you must go see the rest in the album I created!
Hello Everyone,On Thursday, I taught the last session of the Indian Summer Quilt Class in my classroom studio. It was great to see these quilts coming together. But they are so totally different. These two quilters looked at this design in totally different ways. You will see from the fabrics that they chose. Very uniquely different and it gives the quilt a new perspective.The day began with them laying out the design on the wall so that they could determine how they wanted the colors to flow. This one is more of the bright and jewel tones.These strips were chosen...

Hello,On Thursday, I taught a Semi-Private class on paper piecing. I had two fabulous students who wanted to learn the pattern Indian Summer.Wonderful batiks all stacked and ready to cut.All cut and sorted.Some of the trimmings.Look at these great binder clips that were used.

Great little tip!Organized in the order that they will be sewn.Oh yeah... here is my sample and what the quilt will look like when done. It is a great beginner quilt, no curves...
Hello Everyone,On Friday, I had the pleasure of teaching a wonderful group of ladies from the Evening Star Quilters from Mineola, NY.
