A Thread-aholic in Colorado

When the classroom is full, the store is the happiest!

We had a full house today for the monthly "Jelly Roll" class. I knew it was going to be a fun day, when the laughter started rolling, right after the first sewing machines were set up. Cyndi does such a great job teaching and explaining the fastest and easiest techniques to create their quilts.  Today's pattern was called "Strip Cocktail" by G.E. Designs.

The the spread of food was spectacular (I don't know who brought the vegetable salad, but it was delicious -- yes, I sneak in sometimes and snack when I can... they've not kicked me out yet!)

All in all, when the classroom is full, the true joy of sewing shines through.  The laughter, the quiet-time while they're concentrating on sewing, and the enjoyment of fellow sewists, who simply love to sew.

Great way to spend a Friday, I'd say!

It's a great time to learn to quilt!

Another class graduated from the Beginning Quilt Making class this week.  One of the best parts of my job is to see someone who has never even sewed in their life, take this class and walk away with a finished quilt top, 6 weeks later.  And even better, they're amazed they actually did it themselves.

Our quilt instructor, Cyndi, is simply awesome! She is one of the most skilled quilters I'll probably ever meet! We feel so fortunate to have her here locally.

There's a new Beginning Quilt class starting up in April.  Click here for more info.
