Between lockdowns we did get to have some classes. While I couldn’t really demonstrate anything my verbal teaching skills got a jolly good workout and, dare I say it, improved!

I do hope you’ve enjoyed seeing what my students have been up to over the last couple of months. And how do I know about the updates? I’m continuing Video Class each Thursday so we can see progress and I can give advice and encouragement as needed. Such a good way to stay in touch. Hoping though, it won’t be too long until we can meet face to face.
Hope your sewing/knitting/crocheting is going well.
‘Til next time

Lovely to see your posts again – all the best for an excellent wrist recovery.
so lovely to see you back ๐ I saw some Outback Wife fabrics the other day and thought of you!
What inspiration! Now I think I need to find a pattern for those Blooms blocks.
Absolutely fantastic. What a wonderful group of projects, talented and skilled quilters. Thank you for sharing. Tons of inspiration!
Such great work! Love the way you say ‘fabrics auditioning’ … I like it!
I am SO glad to see you posting once again. I so enjoy seeing everyone’s projects!
Good to see all the fabulous projects!!
Good to have you back – and just think how much your explaining will have benefitted – a true brain workout, too!
Some really lovely projects! So glad people are still quilting and using their hands during these hard times. I bet it was invigorating to see all these in person!:)
