DAY FIVE

On the fifth day of her visit, Mary met with some of my guild members to teach a class on the Tri Recs rulers.  Here she is with Mary Ann and Lee Ann, talking about how to line up the triangles in making the star points of our project. 

She also combined this lesson with one in the many ways of creating stems for applique and demonstrated her favorites.  Lynne is looking on as Mary shows how you can still get excellent curves from a bias strip even when Heat N Bond or Wonder Under is applied.

Mary has a wide base of knowledge in quilting and loves to share with others whatever she knows.  She has an easy, humorous, supportive way of teaching that makes her an annual favorite in our guild.

So now I have caught up with our doings this past week.  I'm still laid low with this stomach and lungs flu-y thing that I came down with Wednesday evening and that's going around, but my head has finally cleared enough to write now and then.  I'm better off than three of our guild members who have come down with pneumonia, though.  Hope to be up and well next week and quilting my Fons and Porter quilt for the show!
