Last Saturday, we began our series of beginning sewing classes at the Southeastern Quilt & Textile Museum in Carrollton. It was also a Quilts of Valor quilt presentation and sew day. My students and I were invited to attend the presentation ceremony. Very moving.
Yes, my classroom is missing about half the tables because they were pulled for the QOV festivities. Not to worry – I have four students in this session – 3 adults and one ‘tween. (The kiddo was a surprise!) Everything was precut for our placemat project, so we didn’t need those extra tables. We’ll definitely need them next time!
The unexpected surprise was having the director inform me that the class tote bag sample had gone missing. She had the bottom insert, but not the bag. Very strange. Believe me, I took every other sample home that afternoon!
Students were all smiles as they posed for pictures with their completed placemats.
Sadie and I went shopping for more fabric to make another tote bag. Hopefully, I added in enough to make strap and boxed corner samples for class, as well!
Meanwhile, BOLO for our missing tote bag:
