successful class
I taught a simple quilt class yesterday and think it was a great success. Our Guild hosts beginner classes, but so many beginners don't get their sampler quilt finished in time for our show because they struggle to do the actual finishing, so we decided to have a very simple quilt class (we used a MSQC pattern) that can be put together in just a few hours and then spent the afternoon focused on how to sandwich and do some quilting on the DSM. While not all the participants were beginners, those that were, I think, really did learn enough to empower them to move forward on both this and their beginner class quilt.
I know some Board members have had negative experiences in classes, but I love how my guild really encourages anyone that wants to tackle teaching a class to do so and ALL of us learn from it because we organize them so that there is lots of interaction. I'd never used a Supreme Slider but one of the ladies brought her's and shared how it worked. Just a great experience.
