Teaching my first class

Denny, it's certainly NOT unbelievable to me! Your postcards are AMAZING- beautiful, imaginative works of art! And they keep getting better and better! The Easter card is a great idea and I hope you take lots of examples of your work so the students get truly inspired to try many different things with fabric postcards. If you have small scraps of fabrics and trims to share it would be fun to let the students experiment with those, too. One little suggestion- from hosting the postcard swap I observed that the satin stitching around the outside edges is usually the weakest area of expertise. You are very good at this. I hope you will have the time to show your students how to get a lovely edge- and that's a technique that could be quite time-consuming. It can make or break a great beginning to their postcards. Be sure all the materials you will need for the students are ordered in at the LQS. Have fun and good luck- I loved teaching quilting techniques!

Leslie & The Furbabies > Unbelievable to me, my LQS have asked me to teach a class in postcards!

Love them, Denny!! I'd sure sign up for that class.

Denny, Your postcards are wonderful and of course you are the right person to teach a class. You'll do great. And the people who take your class will be darned lucky to learn from you.

OMG! They are just so great - I love 'em. The froggies are just toooo cute - you can see their little personalities. How big did you make the cards?

WooHoo Denny! Way to go!!!

Thanks for the suggestions. I will take some of my scrap fabrics. I scheduled the class for 3 hours which should be more than enough to spend lots of time on different methods.

All the cards are 4" x 6". I have yet to try the ATC's (2.5" x 3.5" or something like that).

thanks,

Way to go Denny. Congratulations. Gen

Your cards are great! I am lucky enough to own one from a swap. I would take your class. I'd like to know more about the "eyes" and "glasses" swaps. Debra in Idaho

thanks Kate.

Thanks Gen. Might be in Columbus sunday/monday for work.

I am in a yahoo group also which trades fabric postcards. There are several swaps each month you can participate in, or not as you have time. Eyes and glasses were pick a word swaps (there is a list of words and you pick one) All groups are limited to 5 swappers or less so you don't have to make too many.

Yea, well I've seen your work, and you make amazing postcards. Why am I not surprised that they would want you to share your talent! That is so wonderful. Congratulations! You'll do well! Good luck!

Woo Hoo...way to go on getting a teaching gig..... =) How wonderful that the LQS recognized and appreciated your talent enough to put it to use....

Tricia (who is now, however, w> Unbelievable to me, my LQS have asked me to teach a class in postcards!

Good luck with your class. I'm sure you'll manage it without problems. And the Easter card is cute. Don't want to start this '..card' thing, but your cards are really tempting. I'd take a class too :-)
