So this morning I realized that I somehow forgot to post my classes from the
Panguitch Quilt Walk clear back in June!!! Ya, I will just add that with the other things I am blaming on this summer, tee hee hee. Anyhow, I had such a wonderful time in Panguitch!!! The classes are always so much fun and just filled with the nicest people!! I love that I get to see friends that I have met and had in classes over the 8 years I have been teaching there. And of course, there are always new faces and friends to be made and it is just such a happy atmosphere. We truly are happy quilting!!! And this time, my daughter came along, so double bonus!!!
The first class I taught was on Thursday evening and it was my
Square Dance Pattern :) This is always a fun class to teach as it is super fast and easy!!! It's just a great class to just sew without having to think to much and everyone always get's so much done ;) In fact, it was so popular that this was actually an added class so that more people could get in the class. And I am so glad they did because we had such a great time!!!
Friday Afternoon was the "first" signed up class for
Square Dance Pattern. And we had a super full class which just made it all the more fun. Gotta love the sound of machines just humming away ;) And I just loved getting to see all of the different fabric combinations everyone choose. They really mixed it up and I can't wait to see these finished ;)
And Saturday morning I got to teach my final class from my
Playground Picnic Pattern. And I have to say, I just love teaching this class. The pattern just doesn't go together the way you assume it will, and when students in class see how much easier it is then it looks, they just get all kinds of smiles, and that of course, makes me smile in turn :) It was just such a fun class and these ladies did such a great job!!!
And the best thing about teaching at a retreat year after year, I get to see awesome finshes from past years classes!!! It is just so neat to see what started as a block in class, all finished and quilted :) And this year, I had one student that brought back her beautiful Petal Pop quilt that she made!! Isn't it just so pretty :)
And speaking of bringing quilts back, I had two ladies from my Thursday night class, stop by my Saturday Morning class to share their finished
Square Dance Quilt tops!!! Wow, like as in a day later!!! I told you, fun and fast ;)
And don't they both just look amazing!!!! I just love the happy batiks, makes me totally want to remake this quilt in all batiks as well ;) Both ladies just did such a fantastic job and I am so glad they brought them back to show me, what a treat!!!
And speaking of treats, as I mentioned at the beginning of the post and
in this post, my daughter Jessi came along, and spent the weekend working on her own project. You might recall
this project Jessi started last year using the
tutorial from Cluck, Cluck, Sew. Well, she finished all of her blocks and aren't they just so fun!!! She is in the process of sewing the rows together now and then it's on to the long arm, so hopefully she will be able to share this finish soon ;) So proud of that girl!!!!
I hope you all have a very Happy Quilting Day!!!
That must be cool for creators.
