Sunbonnet Sue

The other day, after dinner, I got a call from my quilt mentor, Jerry. She asked me to take care of her quilt class as a substitute teacher. Her husband has a health problem and she has to take care of him.

I am really sorry for him. When I met him last time, late fall of last year, he looked good, but this winter was pretty tough for him. I hope he will recover soon.

And taking care of class? Me? Wow.
I have been with her as an assistant for a few years, and I think showing skills in no problem. The problem is I am not a talkative person! Without her, class would be very quiet. I hope to have some fun companies.

Jerry and I have decided to pick up Sunbonnet Sue for class. I have been done it just once many years ago and at that time, Jerry showed me the technique without fusible web nor freezing paper, which I didn't feel comfortable.
We have only 8 classes in a season. I don't think many of students can finish before closing because they are international visiting family and most of them having little ones don't have time to make a quilt at home. They spend their energy for settling down here.

Quick, Easy, Attractive.
No sewing machine, not expensive.

Wow, I have a lot thing to think.

Using fusible web could save our time.
Let me make sure.
Start 11:00 am.
Choose fabric, cut, fuse, blanket stitch.
Pick up kids, go shopping, watch kids doing homework, make dinner, wash many things and reading time.
End 8:00 pm.
Ta-da!

Not bad.

Hope my students can handle this in a or two weeks.
