“Love It And Leaf It” in San Diego

The San Diego women in my “Love It and Leaf It” class had a great time and did wonderful work! I didn’t save my photos properly, but several of them were kind enough to send me photos after class.

The expression on Diane’s face, above, is a good example of the delight each student felt as she finished her composition.

Shelly’s perfect “running stitch” adds a nice bit of contrast to her quilt.

In this class, I not only show the students how to face their small quilts, but also how to frame them with “the Ellen technique.” Iris used a different technique, but the effect is the same. Doesn’t the mat and frame elevate it?

Corky’s blue background worked very well with her fabrics.

Working from home (like everyone else,) Karen was seduced by her lovely stash fabrics and altered the colors quite dramatically. I think it’s very successful.

I don’t know who made this one, but didn’t it turn out great? They all did!

This is an easy and fast class: only 3 hours. In January, I’ll be teaching it at Road@Home, the virtual version of the Road to California show, which had to be canceled this year. I’d love to see you in class. See the details here.

After creating their flowers, students learned about composition as they arranged all their elements and…
