Sew Fun!
I'm busy teaching Sew Fun classes this week and most of next, so my blog postings may be a bit scarce this week.
But it's worth it - Sew Fun is a monthly club series that Quality Sewing hosts. There are several of us who team up to teach at the "Northern" and "Southern" stores and it's a great learning opportunity - for both the teachers and the attendees. Every month we feature a different theme, usually centered around a particular set of books or products. We demonstrate various techniques and share tips.
One of my favorite parts is the 'show and tell' which takes place during the break. I love to see the pride and joy of the participants as they talk about their latest projects. Regardless of what we sew, there is a common sisterhood (and brotherhood!) that is shared in our love of fabrics and sewing.
Sometimes it's easy to get caught up in the 'Oh, I'm a quilter" or "I only sew garments" - forgetting that we're all truly doing the same thing - finding pleasure and creative outlets in the use of fabric and thread to create something of beauty (and even utilitarian items have their own humble beauty).
So hooray for Sew Fun - hope to see you there!

My wonderful husband gave me a "Day with Katrina" dying silk for my birthday. Two classes. We had such a wonderful time, and my scarves & pillow are beautiful. I stayed thru lunch just to do an extra scarf!! I can't wait for Sew Fun to show off!!!
In fact, I was able to show off at a class the next day. So easy, and SO much FUN!!!
