A couple weeks ago I taught my new class, "color + stitch", at the American Sewing Expo in Novi, MI. Kate (always an incredible sport and help) and I shuffled into the expo center super early (we didn't mind too much, we had coffee) and began setting things up.
I admit, I always get a little nervous before class. Mostly because my teaching style is a little more on the relaxed size. I'll boss you around as much as you want me to but for the most part, I give you all the space you need to do your own thing.
Turns out the bunch that showed up for class embraced it with style and boy, did we have a good time. As proof to their adventurous spirits, here is the class sample that the demos were centered around:
And these are shots from class of the awesomeness that everyone made:
I had a blast. :) I slept thirteen hours the following day but still, a total blast in every way. I so enjoy teaching, I wish my schedule allowed for more of it. But rather then lament over how rarely I do it, I'm thankful for the times when I can. :)

It sounds like your class was an overwhelming success, I'm so sorry I missed it but loved running into you and Kate at the show.
One of these days you will find me staring out at you from your students ;o)
Great Pics! I would love to take a class from you someday...do you ever get to Texas???
Looks like an awesome class and what great results!
What a terrific class; from the photos it is clear to me that you taught your students how to find and use their own voice in their work during the class...lovely, varied and personal color palettes. Nice.

Looks like it was so much fun! And what a kick I got out of seeing that someone had used my screen!
Thanks so much for teaching a fabulous class. Hope we can do it again next year!
Fabulous results from everyone. Would love to take a class with you if ever you get over to the UK.
They all look wonderful! Wish I could have been there!
