That's me, peeking over the top! |
Last Saturday I taught my very first
TLC Quilters guild workshop,
all by myself!
I taught the Jelly Roll Race quilt
and we had a lot of fun.
2 of my sample tops |
My first instruction to my students was this:
"Take out all of your strips,
fluff them up
and put 'em in a big pile on the table!"
This one had all of her strips neatly separated by color
and wound around cardboard tubes!
There were batiks, civil war repros, Halloween,
red-white-&-blues, and Christmas strips.
Making sure there weren't any twists. An impossible task! |
Out of the 8 students that were sewing,
5 of them had completed tops by the end of the workshop!
A 6th one emailed me on Monday, that she finished her top on Sunday. I think that's pretty good!
Here they are, in order of finishing:
Marlene |
Jean |
Carol Look how it divided itself - dark on one side, light on the other! |
Jenel |
Dawn |
And the whole crew:
Laura~Marlene~Carol~Dawn~Jean~Jenel~Lydia~Donna~Mary Ann |
They were wonderful students!
They've made me start thinking about
what I could do in another workshop.
Thanks!

Looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteI bet you all had a great day!! Those Jelly Roll quilts are so clever!! I can just imagine getting tangled up in the strips!!
ReplyDeleteHow interesting Cat Patches lead me to you. I think I knew you, does Elizabeth A. ring a bell? Anyway congrats on teaching your first guild meeting all alone. To funny when you told the girl with her strips on tubes that they needed fluffed up and mixed up.
