I've Created Another Quilting Addict

I taught another class at the Bunney-Hutch yesterday. I had one student in the class. Hopefully they will start picking up and having more. I did enjoy my day yesterday. The lady that came to the class had never quilted or sewn anything by machine. She had done a little hand-sewing though. So, she decided that she wanted to learn how to quilt. She went out and bought a new machine and many of the supplies needed for quilting. She came to the class without any fabric or pattern. So with this in mind, I helped her pick out a pattern and fabric and started teaching her about quilting. From 10:00 until 5:15 she worked hard and finished an entire quilt top including the borders! I am one proud teacher. I scheduled an extra class this coming Friday so that she can learn how to sandwhich her quilt and quilt it. I successfully created another "quilting addict". lol

happy quilting,

What Was On My Door Step?

Yesterday I told you that I came home to something exciting on my door step. It was my first package from Crafter's Vision. I felt like a little girl getting a present in the mail. I was excited to see what my first group of samples were going to be. I am going to make three pillows from amy butler's "must have pillows" pattern.

There are three groups of fabric and the pattern below. Which is your favorite group of fabric?

I'll post a photo when I finish the fun pillows.

Preparing For Teaching Another Class

I have been working on making samples for quilt classes to teach. I finished another quilt top. Now I need to quilt it so I can hang it up in the shop and advertise the class. This pattern is called "Yellow Brick Road" and is a great beginning quilting class. It looks harder than it really is. I picked out all of these fabrics, which are Batiks, and kits are available at The Bunney-Hutch.

Check back tomorrow for an exciting post! I'll show you what I found on the stoop by my front door today.

Another Job Opportunity...

For those of you who have been reading my blog, you know that I love beading and designing jewlery. I know I come by this love naturally being that my Dad loved to make cast jewelry. Two of the amazing pieces that he made for my awesome hubby and me are our beautiful wedding bands. I miss him so much and wish that he could see what I've been making.

Well, I also love quilting! I love to make quilts and design patterns! I was contacted by the owner of craftersvision.com and asked if she could hire me to make samples for her and her website. I am so excited about this adventure! I will post photos as I start to make products for her. She had asked me to send some photos of quilts that I've done. I will post one of my favorite quilts here. I designed this I Love Lucy quilt for a quilt contest. (I received 2nd place in the professional category. I was very pleased!)"With The Invention of Black &White Came Lucy"
