This week's sewing

Another super sewing week for the Kids!  Keira came in last week and sewed a dress for her Maplelea Girl.   She did a super job!  Then she decided she wanted to sew a quilt.  Here it is!!!!  I don't need to say anything more about the proud smile do I?

Kenzie started the week with a Quillow.  A quillow is a quilt inside a pillow.  We have the kids stitch a reversible applique pattern of their choice and make a pillow.  Then we use fleece and make a blanket.  We put the two together to make a Quilllow.  Hemming stretchy fleece is a challenge.  Kenzie did very well.  She started today on an wall hanging with her name appliqued on it. We'll show that off tomorrow!!!

Victoria is another beginner sewer this summer.  Last week a pillow and purse were sewn. This week....pants with pockets, elastic and drawstring in the waist and contrast trim at the waist and pant hems.  Super job!!!!

We had an evening adult class this week as well.  Here's Lotties Simply Strips quilt.  Two of 6 blocks to sew.....

....and Alice's blocks look so very different. 

I got the borders on my Simply Strips quilt yesterday.  Got is layered today and am going to start quilting in tomorrow.  I'll show it off when its done.  This post is for student show and tell!
