Free Improv Class!

 Apparently, I haven't been busy enough. I say that because I decided to host a free improv class on my website. My plan is to use the class to build a set of smaller classes. This means that "free" students will serve as my guinea pigs, so to speak. I'm going to ask for feedback in the hopes that I can improve the smaller classes before offering them online at a cost.



I'm finally back with you all to tell you about the class because I know what a dedicated group you all are, and I trust your opinions. Of course, I understand that not everyone is going to be able or willing to participate, but I hope some of you will try.

My plan for the class is to teach different concepts that I have put together while working on several quilts. It seems that while I am always trying to come up with something new, I also have some tried-and-true ideas that I lean on when I'm stuck, or I just want to get something (anything!) done.

AHIQ Quilt Project Finish for the Holidays! New Binding Choice in Sunflower Batik

Sunflower Batik binding sewn onto Two Hourglass Blocks with a Wild Geese Border table mat.

This small table mat had a solid purple binding sewn onto the front as can be seen in the previous post. Now the binding is a yellow/brown Sunflower Batik.

Happy Holidays AHIQ! 

I had to share my new binding on my scrappy table mat project. As you can see in the previous post, my first binding choice was a solid purple. Then I found a beautiful Sunflower Batik at a local fabric store and I knew that would be more bright and cheerful for the binding. And now four are finished for gift giving.

See you in January.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to Everyone!
