I told the ladies when they agreed to come to my quilting class that they were my guinea pigs. I had never taught a class before and wasn't real sure what I was doing. I had one desire....to pass on the love for quilting art to others around me.
I think I've succeeded in that!
I've learned more than they have (as is the case with most teachers). I'm so proud of them all. Out of 10 ladies that started....I only lost 1. Not sure what happened that she stopped coming (she was sick one week). Finding time to learn something new is hard and even harder is finding time to add this new love into your daily routine. There's been a couple of times that certain ladies couldn't come to class, but they reassure me that they are on target. I must be a good teacher and find out about that one.
Well, here it is....a slide show showing the classes' progress. I can't wait until we have our very first quilt show of all the students from Quilting on the Piney (I'm trying out that name....what do you think?).
Along with the simple striped borders I taught in class, I also overwhelmed them with showing them the technique for mitered corners. Here's a slide show for this technique. It's really not that hard and it adds such a beautiful finish to the quilts.
