A good time was had by all

The class went well and everyone is excited to play with their block layouts next Tues. Notice the different angles of the 3-D by rotating the block in the last group.We had time to try the flying geese layout. One student moved to the Sat. class in Oct. and one left early so I only got pictures of 3 students' work.
I have the other half of the purple strips left and think I will use a bright green with them.

Here is one more picture of Mr. Finch posing for me. I would think that would hurt his feet to stand on those sharp seeds.
Today I need to tackle the dump-all bedroom. I have kept the guest bedroom nice and neat and it is mine that is a pit. It isn't a fun job but it has to be done.

  2. The bird photo is great! From which distance did you catch this one? And was it from inside the window?

  5. I love the purple and greens together. I'd like to give that pattern a try sometime. Are all the strip cut the same width?

    Why is it that our bedrooms are always the last "to clean" on the list when we have a good project in the works?

  10. Enjoyed seeing your students work. Were they impressed with all the layout they could acheive with this block. I was that is for sure.

    Purple and greens are glorious, and I'm anxious to see them stitched together.

    And your finch photo... I just love small birds and song birds. I had to take down my feeders for several days because mr. black bear paid us a visit, damaging one feeder. He was just hungry for the sunflower seeds. My birds still came often and I felt bad to have disappointed them. They are back up just today, and I hope mr. black bear will stay away.

  11. Hi Wanda,
    Looks like your students had fun playing with the blocks.
    Do you do a "choosing your fabrics" session during the class as well? Sometimes I find it's good to bring way more than you need to class in case inspiration strikes or you learn a tip or two during class.
