Students start off with pencil and paper and then we move to needle and thread.
This group was fearless! I did a demonstration on quilting free-form feathers and they were mastering these by the end of class!

While I was there for the class, I was asked if I would consider working on an upcoming special event. So, I am excited to tell you that I will be collaborating with Stacy at Pins and Needles on a special Quilters' Retreat scheduled for early May. Check her Facebook page, or contact the store, and let her know you are interested!
The creative wheels are spinning and were're cooking up several fun projects and activities. I can't reveal all the project details just yet, but the retreat will be lots of fun, with great food [I've seen a preliminary menu] and the locale is beautiful and picturesque!
