Six brave delightful ladies signed up for the 4 free lessons Di B and I (“Team Di”) will be teaching over the next three months in conjunction with St Mark’s Quilters.
Next week they’ll have Lesson 2 up one end of the hall where our regular SMQ-ers will be meeting, with all the laughter and chatter that’s sure to accompany our first get-together after the summer break.
However, not wanting to overwhelm our newbies the very first time, we gave them a quieter lesson on their own this morning to get them started.
There was laughter…
…and concentration.
They learnt about fabric choice and preparation.
Straightening the fabric.
And rotary cutting.
All six of our enthusiastic quiltmakers went home with their squares cut out and ready for next week’s lesson when they’ll begin to sew them together. Some of them couldn’t resist laying out the pieces for a preview.
10 out of 10, ladies!

Fun times!! At least you didn't slice your finger with a rotary cutter. ;D
ReplyDeleteHope your hand is better!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet of you to give lessons to newbies; when I inquired about joining the community quilting group I was made to understand that it was not to be so I could learn to quilt!
