I made a quilt as well so I could demonstrate all the steps as we went along.
They learned about pieced backs because I didn't have enough fabric. LOL
This is Lorraine's lap quilt. She, too, finished everything except hand stitching the binding. It's hard to tell from the photo, but two of the prints have purple in them, so we went bold with a purple binding.
Heather also made a lap quilt. She did some extra homework, so she finished the binding during our last class. The colours don't come through as rich as they truly are. That's a beautiful orange print.
And Darlene just kept adding pluses until she ran out of fabric and then added a border. It ended up being a double quilt. Pretty impressive for her first quilt. She only needs to hand stitch the binding.
And finally Kat, with a lap quilt. Kat works at the LQS and had to work during our third class. So she's not quite finished...just a bit more quilting and then the binding.
Kat used her leftover squares to piece the back. It's a reversible quilt.
I enjoyed sharing my love of quilting. We had good discussions and just had a great time. I've been asked to teach two more classes in the winter session starting in January. So I need to put together two classes and create supply lists before the middle of November. Panic...but I'm excited!

Did you have fun teaching? It looks like you did.
ReplyDeleteI just started work at a local LQS. It is just one day a week, but ...
Well call you teacher! How exciting that your class went so well!! And that you will be teaching again! Congrats on the success! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilts! I think it would be fun to teach too, but I'm not sure if I have proven myself enough yet. I love that most all your students got all the way to the binding. And yes, congratulations on the class success and on getting to teach again!
