Did you find it usefull? My thinking is that because machine quilting skills are so dependant on practice, practice, practice is a class really that helpful, or would a book teach me just at much? What do you think? Pam in Spencerport I've taken a couple of machine quilting classes, and i think they've been worth it. It's a great opportunity to practice, practice, practice. And usually I find I learn something, usually just a tiny thing that makes me say "Duh!", and improves my skills. Just my $0.02. Maureen |

What great blocks. I love the curvy ones. I have not sewn anything
with curves yet.... quilter wrote: Hi all, I'm back from the Lowell quilt festival and my first quilt class ever (first four actually). Lesson #1 learned: 4 classes in 4 days is ALOT. It was exhausting, but also great fun. I feel like I did a little of everything and worked a little outside of my comfort zone here and there, and the classes were all wonderful. If anyone is interested in hearing about any individually, feel free to email me offline. I took Kathy Sandbach's beginner machine quilting class, Diane Hire's curvaceous squares, Sally Schneider's "Bard of Avon," and (today) Sharon Pederson's reversible quilts. All four women were talented, funny, friendly, and great teachers. I uploaded my class blocks here, just for fun. hopefully I'll finish them into something before next year!

Thanks! They are a bit deceiving, because they come out all wonky and
mismatched on the edges (at least, they do when I sew them!), and then you just chop off the edges and square them off. So they are not hard at all. It has made me braver to try some gentle curves, though. Maybe I will make it to a NY Beauty quilt one day afterall. Lynn NickName wrote: What great blocks. I love the curvy ones.

Thanks, Patti! They just spoke to me and told me where to put them. I
love it when they do that. Lynn Patti wrote: They look really great, Lynn. What fun those curvaceous squares are!! (though I wouldn't like the job of arranging them - you did really well on that g) |

I took Diane's class in Paducah this year. She's really nice, isn't she? I
love your colors and arrangement! I may have to make some more blocks. http://community.webshots.com/photo/...53918257nQEMmM I like yours better! hummmmmm I really should get my first class project finished before starting another one though. One of my numerous faults. KJ "quilter" wrote in message ups.com... Hi all, I'm back from the Lowell quilt festival and my first quilt class ever (first four actually).

Yes, she is super nice. I told her in the beginning of class that I
was a bit of a 'beginner masquerading as an intermediate' because I had never sewn a curve before. Near the end of class, she called the whole class over to applaud the "beginner". She was really fun. Your quilt is great - love your idea for the borders! I'm toying with making the outer border of bigger blocks (like she did - twice as big as the center ones).

I didn't really have enough hand dyes to make the bigger blocks for the
border. And I wasn't sure enough of my color families to sacrifice "favored" fabric for the bigger block border. So I sliced up the extra blocks I'd made for the inside to make the border fabric. It will do. I like it better than some class projects I've made. Kj "quilter" wrote in message ups.com... Yes, she is super nice.
