Well, making table runners at least!
So I've been working on a simple project that is suitable for beginners,
in preparation for teaching this as a class at StitchCraft Studio, Grantham
I asked my lovely friend Katy of I'm a Ginger Monkey if I could use her book as the basis for the class,
and I was thrilled when she agreed!
If you don't have this book, it's a great compendium of blocks and small makes, ideal for the beginner,
I'm more than happy to recommend it!
I chose fabrics from Art Gallery Fabrics
made a few blocks
remade one
made a few more
and before long a runner was in the making
and of course I had the perfect match for the quilting too!
I quilted in the ditch on this runner, I wanted the blocks to pop and don't want to intimidate my beginners with any fancy schmancy quilting ...
so, if you are a beginner quilter, been watching from the sidelines thinking you'd like to give it a go, but don't know where to start, I will be teaching this as a beginners class, along with all the basics of cutting, 1/4" seam and the difference between borders, sashing, and half square triangle!

Gorgeous wee project for your beginners! Go girl! Jxo
That's a beaut, Trood! And good call on the simple quilting - us moderate quilters get intimidated by your amazing fancy-schmancy quilting! *g* Good luck with filling the spaces, surely a no-brainer for anyone in your locale? Methinkso!
Perfect for a beginners class! Love your choice of colours as well xx
Love the fabrics - will be a winner for sure! Now get back to the fancy schmancy stuff!
Can I admit I nearly fell off my seat when I saw the title? ;o)
Still, looks like a great class project!
It will be a great class. Great idea of a little sampler table runner.
No fancy quilting? I bet you had to quilt the bejeezus out of something else just to get it out of your system!!
Looks sweet though x
Oh thank goodness I thought you meant actual running and that you had gone mad! Very relieved when I realised it was a very lovely table runner!
Beautiful, but even better in person!
