My thought is that the girls will be happy with a finished product and fellowship rather than learn the mechanics of quilting in a spoonful of time. I can do a demo on rotary cutting sewing a 1/4 seam. I will also do a tiny trunk show of my quilts. As of this writing, I have no idea on what sewing skills any of the girls have or if any have sewn on a machine before. I live an hour away from where I will be instructing and my non-quilting BFF is one of the troop leaders.
Sandygirl: I don't have time to teach them from the ground up. I only have one day. Usually, if you go to a LQS a beginning quilting class is about 5-6 weeks; so I need to compress as much as possible.
Plumtree: Yes, it will be a long day, but I plan to ask parents to bring a dish to share.
