Kid's Camp finish and the footstool...

 The girls got  finished in the nick of time and were so happy to have made a quilt! Teaching kids is a lot more strenuous than teaching adults, but it was fun. They were really getting the hang of sewing straighter seams and I think these young ladies will be looking for their next project!
 I painted the footstool legs a deep brown. I like it much better.
They still look like tree trunks, but at least they don't show up as much.

I haven't done any sewing the past few days, so hope to get back at it today. It's supposed to be very warm again, so a good day to stay inside! I have watered everything so I'm ready to sew!

Good job girls! The seams look pretty straight from here!

Yes the legs are much better in a dark color.

YAY for the girls! Their quilts are so cute. Love the footstool.

What lovely quilts the girls have made.
It always amazes me how a group of people can be given the same 'pattern/blocks' for a quilt, yet once they are all finished they are all so different due to fabric/colour choice.
That is so cool.

You wee stool is gorgeous!

Justified big smiles on these young quilters' faces. The seams definitely look straight and true to me. What a great accomplishment for each of them.
Love the little stool, and I agree--I prefer it with the dark legs. It just "grounds" your creation--gives it a solid-looking base. (I heard that term on some HGTV show; hopefully I used it correctly)
