Kick Off

Today was the grand reopening of the store where I'll be teaching.  I talked to dozens of nice people.  I had four class samples to show:  a full-sized quilt top, a patchwork tote, patchwork coasters, and a pillowcase.  Folks seemed very interested in the summer classes for kids, and I'd really like to make that a success.  We had a lot of registrants, and the education coordinator was very pleased with the day's turnout, as was I.  Here's a pic of the Cottage Quilt.  It's a four-patch.  Each block is topped with an appliqued square.  The outer borders are pieced, with mitered corners.  Three people commented on the striped fabric in the border in particular.  That was a good fabric choice!
