First Heirloom Quilt Block
Today was my first heirloom quilt class and it was great. The teacher Gail, was fantastic at explaining how to do things and so helpful at showing everyone just what to do.
We managed to get one block done in class today. There are 9 different blocks in the quilt, each one using a different heirloom sewing technique. I just keep imagining the baby clothes I will be able to make after this class, with the new knowledge of how to do so many different stitches.
Doing the pin tucks was so easy but look so hard. I sure appreciate the pin tuck foot for my machine !
When the class started and she was just explaining what we were going to do, I thought, "boy am I in over my head" but Gail is a wonderful teacher and set all our fears to rest very quickly.
As soon as I know if we are having a girl or boy grandbaby, I think I will make a quilt like this in the appropriate color.
Can't wait for the next class !
