workshops

During the quilt exhibition last October in the Library quite some women asked me whether I could teach them how to make quilts. They were very eager to learn. And.....yesterday I started my first lessons! A morning and an afternoon group.
I thought it would be nice for them to start with a mini-quilt to hang on the wall.




The block in the middle has an applique; a very simple basket with flowers, only two pieces. On the corners some triangles.








I choose spring colours to make the quilts. I did cut fabric to make 10 kits. The fabric is not in the right size, because the "students" have, of course, to learn how to cut.


It was fun having these women over. They started making the applique and the ones who didn't finish have some homework to do!!!!







I got them all a nice bag to put their kits in and can't wait till next Wednesday to continue!

  9. Wat leuk heb je dat gedaan. Als je iets leert is het altijd leuk als je na niet te lange tijd iets af kunt hebben. Je studenten zullen blij met je zijn.
