Quilting Art 101

What a fun day last weekend. Several students attended our first Quilting Art class. Students brought finished tops, learned quilt line 'design principles', made a quilt plan for their 'top', and got to quilting. The one request.... make it 2 days.... we'd all love more time to quilt, huh? MANY THANKS to my students!!!! We'll definitely offer this again. Here's a few student pics..

Patty Seabold....First, Patty planned her quilt lines with colored pencils atop tracing paper laying over her quilt top. I "think" Patty was having fun! :-)




Time to load up the machine with choice of thread. Carolyn Lombard (great name) ready to quilt her painted foul.


Okay... it sure looks like everyone was having fun. It's a big part of class... relax... have fun. The serious.. well maybe not so serious goal of the day.... To eliminate that fear of beginning the quilting. Everyone did well.

HAPPY QUILTING!!!
