Last weekend I had the pleasure of introducing people to the art of quilting! Some time back, I accepted Burritt on the Mountain’s Folk School’s request for participation. It was a lot of preparation and moving stuff, but I enjoyed spending time with the people who came through. Check out some of the pictures below.

As people tried their hand at sewing/quilting, they added another piece to a log cabin block. Several blocks were completed by the end of the day.

My favorite part was teaching kids to use the sewing machine. No one went crazy on the foot pedal, thank goodness!

In mid-afternoon, I presented a talk on quilts. Half the audience was 16 and under! There’s hope that quilting isn’t a dying art.

I hope as we enter the colder months, you will find a craft you enjoy. Make mistakes! Try new things!
