For the course I made the pink sampler and the students made the samples in white.
It is not always easy to adjust all the machines for machine-quilting and we had some problems at the beginning with the tension of some machines. I am so glad my Bernina sews everything with only some adjustments.Anyway, the students had to draw on paper first so as to learn the movements and then sew without thread to get a feeling of using the machine without feed dogs.
And here are the results:

Well done, ladies!
Friday was the dutch fabric market in town and guess what I did! I just bought a few fat quarters and some buttons. Mind you next week there is a wonderful textile market in a town nearby so I guess my purchases won´t stop here!
I wish you a wonderful beginning of May.

Hello, your little sister here! yeppeee I am the first one to leave a comment! Except that I haven't got anything really interesting to say. I think your pink thing was much nicer than the white ones. Hey she is good my sister hein!
Take care
Love,
Your mad sister
Your students did a great job! I so wish I could take one of your classes.
I have just bought a machine with a free motion quilting foot. I haven't used it yet because I had no idea how to start. But now I know to try the drawing and sewing without thread method-thanks!
Thanks also for the sweet comment about Gwen's prom that you left on my blog.

Oh, Gwen, It's sooooo fun to see all quilting designs! I'm a hand quilting quilter but I always adore machine quiltings. It gave me a good inspiration.*S*
Thank you for sharing all wonderful pictures!
Amazing quilting.
Great job, teacher's and students'.
I love the feathers you made!
Wow, all those samples look good! My machine quilting is pretty herky-jerky looking. I love the daisies...
My, my don't all of those look great! I tried my hand at machine quilting the other day, but I bet I'm doing something wrong because it seemed easier to fight the darned feed dogs than have them down! LOL, live and learn! :)
Gee, I wish I could come to your class. Your students did so well. I would love to be able to quilt like that. Hopefully one day.
Practising without thread sounds like a good idea. I could try that.
Happy stitching.
What an inspiration. I wish I lived a little closer LOL I would love to come to one of your classes. I am just about to embark on some serious machine quilting. I can only hope it turns out as good as your students.
