Another successful table runner class

Debby taught another great Dresden Plate table runner class on Sunday and look at the results -- each one is gorgeous in its own way! Everyone who's ever taught a quilting class knows that the instructor has as much fun as the students -- it's so great to see the creations come together using all those different fabric combinations.  It's a good thing we don't have to pick a favorite because that would be beyond difficult.  The exciting thing is that each combination gives you ideas for future creations and projects.

Yes, it's been a looooong time since we've posted on our blog, but we're going to change that and start updating it on a regular basis.

Let's start with a couple of great classes we had this week.  Our own Debby Phillips taught the first session of Table Runner of the Month.  She showed everyone how to make great Dresden Plate blocks, as well as the bonus of using Deb Tucker's trimming tool for easy Flying Geese.  Looked like everyone was having a great time and their creations were varied and beautiful.  She's teaching another class on Sunday, so you may still be able to get in on the fun!  Check out class details here.

On the same day, Martha had three students learning her ever-popular Hunter Star  -- also using a great Deb Tucker tool!  Look at the great blocks they created; the Hunter Star pattern is so versatile, stunning and easy to create with Deb Tucker's tool.  Stop by the shop for a demonstration of how this great tool works.  Put together a group of four or more people and schedule a class with Martha.  As part of the class fee, she will do a custom quilt design for each person, check out more details here.
