Beginning Quilter's Academy freshman year

Harriet Hargrave came to my quilt guild, Moonlight Quilters of Sonoma County, this past summer.  Even though my Mom and I have been quilting for several years some of the common mistakes and issues Harriet described were those we often experienced.  Therefore I decided to give Harriet and Carrie's book "Quilter's Academy Freshman Year" at try.  I gave the book to my Mom for her birthday in August 2014 and we made a pact to go through the book together and pull fabric ONLY from our stash (which we have plenty of).

We found the first few classes/lessons very informative.  We got the most out of preparing fabric and pressing for success.

August 2014:  For project 1, I chose a panel of coffee cups and Mom selected flower novelty print.  Using the techniques all went well.  Here are our results.
