Kevin the Quilter is in town. He came to speak at my large quilt guild,
Pride of the Prairie, and also to teach a class. His presentation last night was great! Sorry I didn't get any photos, but I was holding up quilts (and getting to be one of the 'Huffman's Hotties' (search his blog and find the Huffman Hotties).
Today was Kevin's Crumb Star class. Kevin taught us how to 'make' fabric from our tiniest scraps. Remember that large bucket of scrap fabric I sorted?

Lots of ladies used fabrics from the bucket, but it still feels pretty full.
Here are some of the pieces of fabric I made.

What a fun class! Tomorrow is another class, with my little quilt guild, Wego Quiltin'. We'll be learning String Stars from Kevin. Guess where that bucket of scraps will be tomorrow.
It would have been a fun class no matter what but I bet having Kevin there made it great! ~Jeanne
ReplyDeleteOne of the things I miss most about moving from the Chicagoland area, was the workshops!!! Looks like it was a successful fun day! I have a box of scraps... maybe I should play... with them. Nope not enough time!!! EVER.
ReplyDeleteFun! Your class and blocks look grand!
ReplyDeleteLove all the crumb star blocks, thanks for sharing your fun with us;)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great class and your block is fabulous. I always new you had aspirations to be a Huffman Hottie! Enjoy the next class.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of Kevin! I’ll be looking him up. Love your crumb blocks!

ReplyDeleteSEW jealous!! I'm sure that everyone had a blast. The resulting Star blocks look fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteOh how fun! I am jealous!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a fun and interesting class! I like to make "fabric" from my scraps too but I usually don't know what to do with it! Now I know!
ReplyDeleteWonderful class.
ReplyDeleteIt was! Both classes were great!
DeleteThat looks like my kind of class! I could bring scraps for EVERYONE and still have a bunch leftover.
ReplyDeletePretty way to use scraps. I love your block.
