All three have never quilted and barely know how to use a sewing machine so I'll be "teacher" for most of our initial meetings. At some point, I'd like to be able to leave them to their own sewing and get some done myself but that's a few weeks off.
I'm starting them with muslin and how to sew a consistent 1/4". Then we'll go onto the Chinese Coin pattern which is simply 2.5"x3.5" rectangles sewn in a strip. I had them buy six FQs, two sets of light to dark. Hopefully, these FQs and pattern will give them enough practice using the rotary cutter & ruler, etc. I'm also hoping Lesson 2 will give them some practice with re-arranging blocks to get different patterns.
I've attached my first two lesson plans, the first will probably be started next week but no rush. I've never taught before so it's been interesting, to say the least!
Lessons 1 & 2
