Kelly’s birthday quilt

Finished!

My first completed project on the B350. I thought the only place we had room to hang it was over the bed. We measured it yesterday and it will JUST fit on the wall above the stairs. Phil is very pleased because he didn’t want it hidden in the bedroom.

My first quilt

Maybe my last. I need to start playing the lottery so we can build that addition.

Completed Sept 27, 2012

Yesterdays class focused on completing the zippered lining. WHAT A PAIN! I will need to practice zippers if I ever have to do one again. I finished the bag and attached the lining at home. I like this bag and the size is good for me. If I do it again I may do the medium bag and add pockets to the lining. I might skip the zipper not only because it was a pain but because this bag doesn’t need one.

I still feel like they rush you thru the class and don’t seem focused on teaching. Just finishing. I did learn a few very basic sewing techniques that I might never have picked up on my own. There were questions I would have asked but I felt like they didn’t want to be bothered.

Hayes Sewing Class today

22 pieces cut. Good thing I got the rotary cutter for this but I was sorry I chose to chalk mark the notches. My fabric is too dark for the washable pen but the chalk marks were hard to find after pressing. I left Hayes with a $10 chalk wheel. Homework is to finish the strap and sew the lining panels together.
