Join in on the fun and see what has been brewing in these hoppers homes.
And on another note, this week we finished up the Free Motion Quilting class for beginners. I had 8 ladies learning and and quilting up their sample sandwiches. I know with some practice time it will be smooth sailing for them all. I remember when I first started to do fmq that I thought ," no way will I ever do this to a quilt", but now I do it more that hand quilting. I do love the look of hand quilting but find I need a long time to get it done and my hands get stiff so fmq is what I can do and get my quilts done :0)
In a couple weeks we will be working on Christmas Stockings. Right now that sounds early but when I look at the calendar I see that really it is not, just over 2 months until Christmas. Wow where did the year go??
Thanks for stopping by ...... now go and check out the hop

Well done Ladies you made me proud of all you got done in class and your home work too.
Next week will be free motion quilting. This will be the first time teaching this class for me I am sure the ladies will do well.

Fall classes have started
Yup I taught the first night of my first class for fall this week. The class is a 3 D Attic Window quilt.
It is done a little different only one seam per block and you get a window with little pockets. Pictures will come next week. ( forgot my camera ) The ladies have all picked different fabrics and have created some great combinations.
The class went sew well I am sure the ladies will have their quilt tops done by the end of the next night. I will have a later post to show the steps and a link to the pattern.
A little frost on the roof tops again this morning. We have been picking off the garden and I have started doing up the tomatoes .... I will be doing them for a while with some salsa to help use up peppers as well.
Enjoy your day and happy stitching

stitching stockings
A few stitches here and a few stitches there and I have gotten started on the Christmas stockings that I want to get made this year .....
2 down and about 4 to go.... maybe one or two extras I have to do a recount.
There will be a couple for baby's first Christmas.
With stockings this size I try to let Santa know that they do not have to be filled to the top, they just have room for those coloring books and story books and other such treats.
I will be teaching a quilt as you go stocking this fall sew this is a good way to get them made and get a little practice in for the piecing and quilting.
Some will be quilted after they are pieced and others on the go. The next one will have a appliqued center.
Have a great week and remember to stay
