Teaching the Spicy Spiral Class

I'm really excited that I've been selected to teach the Spicy Spiral Table Runner class later this fall to two local guilds.   Yesterday, I taught a practice class to a few students so I could judge where I need to be really clear on instructions and understand where students might need help.  It was a worthwhile effort and I'm so pleased that I have great quilting buddies who would invest the day with me. And especially a big Thank you to Anne who opened her house to us so we could sew!!

Here are the Students in the mini-class and their amazing spirals.  They all pulled fabrics from their stash, and look at the beautiful work they did below.     

 

Anne's Fall Spicy



A fall runner, with beautiful fabrics for a striking contrast and a few exciting fabrics which give this real eye appeal.  My camera didn't pick up the really great transitions from one color to the next, but this is a real beauty.





Vivian's Batik Spicy Spiral



I haven't done a Batik Spiral and I'm so glad that Vivian did one.  These earth tones blend is so beautiful, and I can't wait to see what it looks like when it's quilted.  There are a few purpley veins of color running through this spiral which is eye catching.





Linda G. Spicy Spiral



These colors are perfect for the fall and thanksgiving table.  I just love the light swoosh down the center and the busy print beside it.  Just a wonderful highlight.  Now that Linda understand this technique, Linda is going to try to develop this pattern even further and make another Spicy Spiral so it has 4 spirals and will suit her

Kathy F's Sunny Spiral

And look at this sunny spiral by Kathy F.  This is a really nice transition from dark to light.   Don't you love the use of the two dramatic fabrics.  They give such interest to this spiral.  And what a great colorway for fall or spring.

Many thanks again to my buddies for helping me test out my class.  You've helped me understand what will make a much better experience for the students in my upcoming two guild classes.
