I met on Thursday with a group of quilters that are fairly new to quilting (3rd project for most) and doing a great job! The first time we met to make the Dresden Plate Special they learned how to cut out the blades, make the nice sharp points, then begin to sew the blades together. Their homework was to finish sewing the blades together so that they could sew them to the background sq. when we met again. They came back prepared and ready to sew! Two of the quilters had made another version of the top in the 2 weeks between classes.

I'm excited to see what these quilters do next!
I started working on a store model of the the
Spring Sling by Janelle MacKay the other day and hope to finish it today. It's been fun so far and I'm excited to get it finished. It's my first time using fusible foam interfacing and I love it for this project so far.
I also got to use one of the hole punches that I recently purchased to cut the turnlock hardware hole. So much easier and neater than cutting out with a scissors. I should've taken a pic after the punch...sorry. I will next time!
I still sometimes have trouble getting the screw holes made without making them too big. Any tips?
Heading to the sewing machine now. Have a great Sunday!
