A new sewing centre opened up nearby and I approached them to teach some basic patchwork classes and was excited when they said yes.
I love the idea of spreading the quilting love and helping others make beautiful handmade items. My first class utilised my own pattern "Baby Love" available on in my etsy store here. Check out some proud quilters; one who had never used a sewing machine before this class.
I also teach a beginners patchwork class using 5 inch squares. The quilt uses 8 different fabrics with 10 squares cut from each fabric. I made a few sample designs from the shops fabric for them to display. Here are some pics of the samples I finished recently.
This one is a plus sign design. I show my students that something as simple as fabric placement can create many different quilt designs.
This is a diagonal design and pictured here is just the quilt top. I love the way the light came through this fabric when I took this picture.
I'm linking up with these fun places today Crazy Mum Quilts, Confessions of a Fabric Addict and Thank Goodness It's Finished Friday.
Till next time....happy sewing....
