I'm home from teaching an independent study class to 17 lovely women at the most recent Empty Spools seminar. Everyone worked on something different – with the exception of Christy and Kathy who were both working on double wedding ring quilts. Carolyn, below, was coloring blocks from Kim McLean's Lolipop Trees.

Janie was preparing applique pieces for a quilt featuring eagles and flags. 

Marcella was working on an applique block of her own design.

Lynda (from Great American Quilt Factory in Denver) was sewing foundation paper blocks from books that she and Nancy Smith (who was also there) have written.

There were other piecing and applique projects going on and I should have gotten more photos. But in my defense I was as busy as they were! As a teacher I found it very fulfilling to be able to add a bit of information or advice that was helpful.

I'll tell you more about it tomorrow…
