This is the first team teaching event I’ve ever participated in –and I wasn’t sure how this would all come down ---new things sometimes leave me a bit nervous…..This is also the "BETA TEST" for this class, the first time we have taught it.

But there was NOTHING to be nervous about with these quilters!

We are in two LARGE rooms ---the ladies were divided into 2 groups ---don’t worry we kept friends who came together with each other, we are not into separating folks who want to sew with their besties!

I spent yesterday with Group A ---doing the pieced background while Mickey was busy with group B, giving them her wonderful class on the pieced hexie rosettes. I kept peeking over there to see what fun they were having!

Today we will do the switcheroo – the students get to stay in their places through the whole event – WE, the teachers, are rotating! I’m really excited to spend today with Group B!

A happier group of quilters I have never seen ---hands down--

Four of my machines are here and giving hours of pleasure to those who traveled long distances and didn’t want to risk bringing a machine. THIS makes me happy too!

I love seeing what the students have brought – nifty notions and tools and gadgets….but don’t mess with Mary --

We were trimming seams, I turned around there Mary weilding this honking huge pair of sheers --- HOLY COW!

Okay, Mary --- how did you get these past the Canadian US Border, and what’s more…HOW are you going to get them back across? LOL ! These belonged to a family member way back. This family member was a dressmaker and seamstress, and the scissors date from 1890. They hold a sharp edge forever and cut like butter!
