Yesterday was the Cardinal Table Runner Class. Actually the students learned how to machine applique 3 different ways.  Satin Stitch, Blanket Stitch, Raw Edge.  Now, some found out their machines were not capable of making a good satin stitch or didn't have the decorative stitches needed to use the blanket stitch.  Oh boy, looks like someone is getting a new upgraded machine for Christmas.  Wonder who?????????
I think everyone went away from this class with new information on machine applique and how to use the Teflon Pressing Sheet. They also got a lesson on what some of those other feet in their box of goodies that came with their machine are used for.
Now I want to see pictures when they are all finished.
Never talk with chewing gum in your mouth.  What a funny face I am making. 
 Loretta took her quilting machine home and made so much more room in the classroom.  We can now stretch out and put 2 to a table.
Learning to use the Teflon Pressing Sheet. Only trouble is I can't reach the ironing board.  Need a stool.......... 

Livia is showing of her B--bs, I mean her applique piece. 
Now they are cutting their pieces out and aligning them on their background. By the way, in the pink top is Barbara Saap, new to our classes.  Welcome Barb.....hope to see you in more classes.  Now I have 6 Barbaras to keep track of.  OMG...........

DONE!  I can wait for the quilting and binding.  Great job done by everyone.


****************************************************************************


Wallet Class

This was a great class.  Everyone did a great job and even though we had one late for class, she even caught up and got ahead.  There are lots of sections to cut and number before assembling and everyone paid attention and kept all their pieces in order. Because of the large number of students we did go later than expected. At one point I thought we were going to spend the night. But all finished and went home tired but happy with another finished project.  Great  Job Everyone!

Sandra and Barb are busy cutting their pieces for the wallet.


Here I have a design board to show them the assembly process


Jeanie is now sewing the binding around the completed wallet


Liz and Sandra also sewing binding

The Credit Card and Tissue Cover Class was so much fun.  Everyone was so surprised to see how fast and easy it was to make these two adorable items. Brought smiles to their faces.
Now you know there is always one cut up in every class and Melissa won the prize.  We had to put her in the hallway several times for talking too much. Bad girl, bad girl......but all in fun....Bet I know what gift everyone in their family is getting for Christmas this year.
