Week 5 -
* got caught up on worksheets
* finished the pinked and stitched seam finish strip
* checked out all the available fabrics to find the perfect fabric for the five-point star
* learned a new hand-stitch - the whipstitch

Week 6 -
* went over instructions for the star project
* did a trial run on the star project using paper towels
* learned how to use a template, add seam allowances, trim, and clip
For next week - add to your vocab list, if you haven't already. Any unfinished strips or assignments should be completed.
We start the "real" star next week. Everyone did such a great job on their "trial" stars - we should not have any problems next week.
As always - great job - you all are such a delight!!!

~ ~ ~ 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.
