05/09/2005: "weaving with squirrels"

blogfans may remember a class i taught in march of last year. it was my first long term residency and involved a quilting project with a group of middle school girls. i affectionately nicknamed that class "quilting for schnauzers" because the girls reminded me of a group of puppies (noisy, busy, no attention span, always nipping and yipping). today's class has been dubbed "weaving with squirrels". they were a little more rambunctious and random than i expected. lots of running and hopping and squeaking and chattering. lots of hugs (some of them had me for class before). they had a great time, but i was ready to come home and put my feet up. (thanks, honey, for cooking dinner!)

try "shopping with dither fish", R had to choose 3 fabrics to make the traditional "9 patch" Jr high pillow. Remember?
No purple and silver for her...I wish YOU had been here to help with the selection. No blood was shed, but we have also a piece "to bring when I go to Becky and Andy's" so we can make a pair of pajama pants. You have been warned, it has been washed and dried and is ready to go.
