Ladies, how impressive we all were on Tuesday! Got right into class and started getting back on track, movin' right along!
To recap the last class and what to have completed by next class:
Google "charm quilts" - the history and anything interesting you can find on them. The charm quilt is what our next project - "charming twirl skirt" is based on. Write a paragraph or two on what you found and bring it to class on Tuesday.
Cut 25 of the 5-in. squares, or as many as you can before Tuesday. The fabric should be pressed well before marking the square with your template.
The skirt won't take long so we will be thinking about the following "pillow" project that will follow. Think about fabrics that you already have around the house that can be used.
See you Tuesday!
Mrs. B

~ ~ ~ About the teacher ~ ~ ~
I am the mother of five, currently homeschooling my last kid. I love sharing my desire to create - using various forms of textiles.
In addition to family and homeschooling, I run the Encore Homeschool Fine Arts groups. My husband and I serve on the TEACH Board of Directors with three other sets of homeschooling parents.
My philosophy is that anything worth doing, is worth doing well. I credit my love of sewing to my junior high sewing teacher and my grandmother. Their encouragement is what lead to a skill that has benefited me over many years. That is
what I hope to share with each student that comes my way.
