In all my years of teaching at
Greenbaum's Quilted Forest, I think my current class line-up is my favorite! In March, I taught
Serendipity Quilts, which is based on
Susan Carlson's book of the same title. It's only a 6-hour class, so students typically don't get to the quilting stage of their projects. In fact, they discover that it's the finishing touches added later -- in the 7th, 8th, or 10th hour they've spent on their collages -- that really makes the piece come alive! It's all in the details.
Here are some of the works-in-progress by my students:
 |
| Anne's two colorful fish. |
 |
| Carlene's flowers (with Angelina fibers at their centers). |
 |
| Shelley's amazing green-eyed cat. |
 |
| Alice's smiling sun. |

I hope to see these pieces when they're quilted and finished. Great work!
