Castle Keepers Learn to Quilt

I don’t think I knew what I was taking on which was probably a good thing.

It was our monthly class for Castle Keepers and it was my turn to teach.

10 Castle Keeper girls and most with little experience on a sewing machine. That, however, wasn’t the problem.  The problem was trying to teach them all the proper way to cut fabric and that took so much time and all my attention.

The girls decided they learned more than how to cut fabric. They learned patience as well.

They worked for quite a long time cutting fabric.

Serenity was a big blessing – volunteering to help the girls cut. This saved everyone a lot of time.

We sat up outside under the pergola. It was so nice… even with the wind conditions that occasionally caught the material and sent it flying. 🙂

I loved seeing the girls help each other.

All but one are making a crib size quilt.

Audrey is making a doll size quilt.

We finally got the girls to sewing but next class they’ll have to continue it. I hope that seeing the fruit of all their labors (a completed quilt top) will inspire them to continue on.

I love quilting. You don’t have to be an expert seamstress to quilt. You just need to be able to cut fabric and sew a straight line. MY kind of sewing!
