To get you prepared for the class before you even go, here are a few tips.
1. have 6 gallon size baggies numbered 1 - 6
2. have your fabrics in each set labeled which number and group they belong
3. on a sheet of paper, write the numbers and color descriptions from the book and a swatch from your fabrics that you have assigned to each number/group
DON'T CUT ANYTHING until you go to the first class.
I hope this helps a little bit. I hope this is the same book you have. It comes in a zippy bag with templates and it has this star on the front cover.

Oh, the getting around. I had foot surgery last Wed, and last night in emergency rm, as it's infected, looks enflamed & blistered. Took away the cast, put me in this stupid boot & a ton of wrapping to protect it, it's bleeding and this boot is a LG and I wear a size 5, so it's super heavy, and I keep tripping on it. I'm staying down until they decide what's happening on this foot this Tuesday.
Anyway, sewing rm is upstairs and I don't do stairs well in this contraption & crutches. Now if only the benadril would take away this insane itching.

Well Thank you. I sure will adopt you. I don't know everything but I can help you with anything you need help with. Just pm me and I'll be here for you. The pictures I posted are just a very few that I have made. I don't even have a tenth of what I have made on my website. I do a lot of craft shows that I sell them at. Like you, I've only been sewing since August 2008.

[quote=tkhooper]Hi Amma, Do you want to be my mommy?
I did one quilt when I was in high school. One more when I was pregnant with my daughter and how have joined a quilting group.
I have a Sample Quilt 38x58 at the point where I am adding sashing and I'll be doing quilted solid blocks on the corners.
And I've bought the material for one and pattern for 3 Geisha panels that I want to make into Window Quilts.
Sorry to butt in, but what's a "Window" quilt? I'm new to this site, but have been quilting in a hand-quilting group for 6.5 yrs, even tho I learned to quilt from my Granny when I was 14 (LONG time ago - ). ;) We rotate thru the members & so far I've completed 2 quilts, got another on the Q-snap frame almost finished (except for the border area on one end & putting on the binding). I have 2 promised quilts for grandkids (1 that needs machine embroidery added to the top & the other that hasn't been cut-out yet). :roll: Hmmm... I don't make resolutions anymore, but if I were, guess I need to get busy on those.... :oops:

Have you checked out sewing centers for a free motion foot? You can get themfor most machines at Nancy's Notions (http:\\www.nancysnotions.com) If youir feed dogs don't drop cover them with masking tape. Give it a try on a scrap sandwich. It's sew much fun...drawing with your machine.

Thanks, Debbie ~ I've HAVE heard of these. :thumbup: Thanks for the link, I printed out the instructions & will pass them along to my DIL who lives in IL. It's been an especially bad winter & I'm sure these would help. Thanks again -- this is a great website, but how does anyone get anything done??!! :-D

Oh my. I'm so sorry to hear of your dilemma. I can't hardly walk any more myself because of a birth defect. I'm going to a new surgeon and pain management doctor soon. Hopefully they will find something to help with the pain other than 8 10mg Oxycodones every day.
