 Cydney was one of my student for the Metro Rings Quilt Class I taught at The Little General Fabric Boutique. This was the first experience my students had using Sew Kind of Wonderful’s Quick Curve Ruler. Cydney did an outstanding job and I had fun custom quilting it like Jenny, from Sew Kind of Wonderful, quilted hers.

Gettin’ It Done

Posted on February 10, 2013 by ginabean • 0 Comments

I am focusing on trying to get my sample for the BOM class Kathleen and I are teaching finished up before I head to Austin next week. This has been a fun quilt to make. I have really learned a lot of techniques that are new to me to make it. Now I get to share all those fun techniques with my students. 
Last up is the Lemoyne Star border. This is my first time making Lemoynes and I have to say….not as scary as I thought they would be to make. I’m kinda getting addicted to making them. That’s a good thing, too, because I need to make 20 for the final border. Easy Peasy!

Weekend Workshop

I spent this past weekend with 4 lovely ladies teaching them how to quilt in my Beginning Quilting Weekend Workshop. It went great. The ladies were so studious and work really hard. By the end of the weekend each one had completed a beautiful quilt top. I am so proud of all of them!

Head of the Class

I get to teach some classes at Karen Gray Design so I have been busy getting some samples made up. Tomorrow is a Patchwork Belt class where we get to make these cute belts. They are quick to make and I think would make perfect Christmas Gifts.
These cute little Ric-Rac Napkins are also on the schedule for October and November and I think they would make great little gifts, too.

Check out Karen Gray Design for her new October/November class schedule. She has tons of great classes just in time for the holidays. It is loaded with tons of gift ideas.
