If your little stitcher wants to learn how to use that sewing machine she got from Santa or wants to express her creative side, please indicate your interest by filling out this form:

Classes are now forming in the Smyrna/Vinings area.  Tentative class days are Monday and Thursday after school or Saturday mornings.  A Sunday afternoon class is a possibility, depending on the level of interest.

Here’s a photo of Boomer giving his seal of approval to Susan’s t-shirt quilt layout.  We had a fun, relaxing time at Stitch N Quilt on Friday evening learning how to prepare our beloved t-shirts for cutting and sewing.  This class will be offered again in February or March.  Watch the shop calendar for our next class!

P.S. The class is designed for a 9 t-shirt (lap size) quilt.  You are welcome to bring more t-shirts, but please be aware that you will not make as much progress as those who bring fewer t-shirts.  If you do plan to make a larger quilt, please email me at comestitchwithme (at) gmail (dot) com for a revised supply list based on the number of t-shirts you plan to incorporate into your quilt.

Last week, the entire teaching staff at my school attended a 2-1/2 day boot camp on Stephen Covey’s infamous habits.  I’d studied the 7 Habits while in undergrad and again while in library school, but never like this.  Last week’s session was a part of the Leader in Me program my school is in the process of implementing to help our students.  It was a fab team building opportunity for the small groups who worked together on the various habits.  I can say that I was able to put a couple of items into immediate effect that made a difference with a certain challenging co-worker.  I may not be able to do much about the situation, but I can choose my attitude and how I will react to the individual (and situation) from now on.  

I took the time to be proactive and plan my upcoming week.  I have my library and personal to-do lists done, but need to map out my action plan for this week’s sewing activities.  Prep for the class I’m teaching on Friday and I need to fuse, cut and finalize the layout of the mosaic t-shirt quilt for a customer by this weekend.  I also have a couple of baby quilt tops in process that I’d like to get moved to the “to be quilted” pile and out of the chair.
