I know that it is not Monday, but that is where the Queen steps in. On Monday evening I went to the Garden State Quilters and presented The Legacy Lives On – Live Generations of Quilters. I stayed overnight in Chatham, NJ and taught The Color Wheel Magic workshop on Tuesday. Well, being the Queen that I am, I was rushing around like a chicken with its head cut off on Monday trying to get everything together for the workshop that I wanted (and needed).
The persentation and workshop went well. I did pick up some pointers and now I am rethinking the cuting of the project because we spent about 2 hours cutting during the workshop. If we would have had most of that time on the back-end, most of the students would have completed the color wheel during the workshop. So, major redoing in the way I have students prepare for the class. Also, I need some practice of using the camera for the class and how to show the steps. I choose a light gray for the background fabric and there was not enough contract between the fabric and the table. So, another point to rethink.
Anyway, this sharing is cutting into the post for next week.
Village Squares Quilters will summer challenge charity quilts – fabrics donated from Blank Fabrics.
This past week I had the monthly meeting for Village Squares Quilters. I am the president this year and have really worked hard to keep the meetings moving. I was thrilled when we adjorned the board meeting and I looked at my clock and it was 11:15 am. Exactly when we were suppose to be completed. I think the agenda with times noted on it has really helped all in attendance be aware of how long they are taking (and other keep them on track because they don’t want to loose time to someone else.)
Completed color wheel kits
At the end of the week the fabrics arrived and I was cutting (and cutting, and cutting and cutting (it seemed) color wheel kits for the workshop I was talking about. There are 12 colors with a light, medium and dark of each of these 12 colors. So, a total of 36 fabrics in the kit.
After I had the kits completed they it was time to make one more color wheel out of the exact fabrics that are in the kits. Then, of course to be a good teacher, I needed to design and work on the handout (complete with picture examples). Now you can see why I was rushing at the last hours on Monday.
Well, I am home now. Which fire should the Queen work on next. (Maybe next year I can organize things to be able to step down from my title, but until then …………….I am glad that I have a patient husband that loves me and will put up with me and all my crazy last minute things that I do.
the new colors in the color wheel looks amazing!
