NEW QUILTERS AND THEIR PROJECTS

Busy this past week.  Started out teaching two brand new quilters with their very first project.  A couple months ago these ladies came in with their brand new sewing machines and wanted a class on how to thread them, how to fill the bobbins and how do you make them sew.  REALLY!  I spent about 4 hours with them and they left with not only those skills but also they could sew a perfect quarter inch seam.  Next step these table runner.  They did a great job.  Now, next  step.  Setting up a two day class to quilt and bind them.   

My daughter arrived on Friday for a visit.  A new quilter with several projects ready for quilting and binding lessons.  
This is her very first project.  We will be quilting it this week and then binding it.
This was a second project and we spent yesterday teaching her to bind it.  She did a great job.
And this runner to bind as well.  She did a great job before she arrived doing the straight line quilting on it.  
We walked outside yesterday afternoon and this is what we saw right over the top of our house.

    You're doing a great job teaching those new quilters - especially your daughter! I love her Halloween runner. That's a beautiful view of the rainbow above your house, too!
