Ellen Lindner: Art & Creativity

Don’t you just love taking a class?  I do, and I also LOVE teaching them!

I’ve shared many class photos on this blog, but I don’t always have time to take photos.   And, since I thought perhaps you readers were growing  tired of them, I didn’t intend to post photos of my recent Double Reverse Applique class.  But, one of the students, Nancy, did such an excellent job  capturing the students’ concentration and jubilation I just had to share them.

The class was held in Port St. Lucie, Florida, sponsored by The Thimblebuddies.  (Isn’t that a great name?)

Chris is the president of the guild, and she was a very gracious host.  Although her machine didn’t cooperate during class,  her upbeat attitude never wavered.

Carolyn demonstrated the concentration required for learning a new technique.

It helps if you hold your mouth just right, too.  See Cindy’s example.

Pat, Gerri, and Lori shared a table (and a few stories) as they worked steadily along.

With the Double Reverse Applique technique, sewing is done from the back, as Cathy is doing.

Before the end of the three hour class, several students had completely finished their apples.  Jeanne chose very vibrant colors for her apple.

Can you get a sense of the steady progress, fun, and sense of accomplishment these ladies experienced?  Isn’t that what makes a great class? 
(I enjoyed it too!)
