I try to take at least one new class each year to learn or relearn or broaden my quilting "experience". Yesterday I went to a "Hand Quilting without a Hoop" offered by Sharon Stroud. Hand Quilting Sharon's Way. It was one of the best I have attended. I am so anxious to get my redwork piece sandwiched together (need her recommended batting) so I can get started. In the meantime I have my little sandwich to play with. I had not known she was a recognized teacher, author, lecturer. She taught us so much, I'm still trying to put it all together.

Sounds great ... can you share any tips ?

Well, the first thing I did when I came home was clear out my old markers, I can never remember which ones erase, wash out, etc., my old 1/4 in quilters tape that was too sticky to use. I bought a new silver prismatic marking pencil & new in-betweens sz 10. I have never used Hobbs Thermore batting. Has anyone????????

Hobbs Thermore is great for clothing. It's quite thin and has a lovely drape to it. Wish I had access to a really good handquilting teacher! Have fun!

Sharon coming to the Austin Quilt Guild next year to do work shops. My girl friend was just talking about her this morning.

I don't know what she is teaching, all kinds of hand quilting, whatever it is, anyone will benefit.

It sounds like fun. I'm glad you had fun.

FYI---don't iron over the silver markings---you will not get them out no matter what you use...... guess how I know~
