VQF Class Day # 1

Today is my BUSY day!

Two half day classes ---Sister’s Choice in the morning, and Boxy Stars in the afternoon.

Bring it on, I’m ready!

But first I’ll have to get the Sister’s Choice quilt off of my bed because that’s the one I’m sleeping under…

This is the entrance to St Michael’s College where my workshops are.

The college was founded in about 1904 and it is just a beautiful campus – this pic was taken yesterday as I walked through the drizzle to head to the cafeteria for lunch. I’m not complaining about the rain! It was cool and misty and the temperatures were wonderful – we are told to expect heat this weekend, so this was a nice bit of relief.

My class room building is a short walk from my dorm room ---I went about setting it up last evening so it would all be ready for today. One of the lucky things? It’s a one room building – I am the ONLY class in it!

Today this room will be hustling and bustling – but last evening it was quiet as I brought in the borrowed quilt stand, and set up my book table. Lots of windows, lots of open space and great lighting!

Hexie top makes a great table cover!

    HOW beautiful your hexie looks! WOW! Betya everyone will want to see all of it, and you will be moving the books etc ALOT! Sounds like a very busy time, and you can do it if anyone can!

    Can't wait to see the photos from this class. Rain? do I see that beautiful wet stuff on the roadway? SEND it down on TN fast. We are expecting 100 deg. weather today and for the next few days - of course, with no rain. And here we sit surrounded by national parks, forests, timber country etc. GULP!. Please send rain Bonnie, when yu can lol.

  5. Bonnie I bet the new book thing REALLY hit you when you had to make space for not just three BUT FOUR books on you table!! It a real accomplishment to you that you have kept them all in print too.

  6. Wish I was there! BTW some of your blogher ads are really annoying. They open up and cover your text and sometimes you cant get them to close again. I have to say I have gone on to the next blog with out completely reading yours because of that.

    1. Colleen, I think blog "owners" often don't have a say about the ads that appear, they are just part of the deal they agree to in order to have the space to publish. There are apps you can install to reduce or eliminate the ads you see at any blog site--that depends on which browser you use. I use Mozilla Firefox (not affiliated, just satisfied customer) with an ad blocker add-on, and I rarely see any ads any more, less than one every month or so.

    2. I have found if I just make sure my mouse doesn't hover over an ad, it won't pull it up. If it does, I just click on it and close it.

  8. They set you up with table cloths on the tables for a quilting class? That seems very odd to me.

  9. Treadle and I had the same question.... Cant get the pic to blow up enough to ID the Colorful packets on the far end of the table. :) Also cant imagine being brave enough to use the hexie as a table covering in a room full of rotary cutters and scissors! It sure is gorgeous!

    Anyone who follows your hexie efforts will be floored by the hexie top! Have a great weekend!

  14. Table and room looks so inviting. Lots of room to spread out. I am guessing the colorful things on the table is the scissor holder Bonnie wears on her shirt. And I was wondering about the table cloths also. Have a great weekend, Bonnie.
