I always wonder which students I will see again, hoping they will finish their projects and come in for a critique or finishing instructions. Not everyone falls into the upward spiral of addiction right away, sometimes they have to use for a bit and see how it fits. I've seen all kinds of reactions, some come in with a fever and plough through the beginner project and speak of the second rug idea dancing around in their heads. Some are in it for the T shirt, something to cross off the craft bucket list. All these gals were spendid so I hope to see them all again!
Sunday was a day of learning. I had a room full of enthusiastic students, all really nice women. I love to teach and always feel good at the end of the day. The hours seem to melt away. Not one clock in the shop is functional, they all gave up the battery ghost at once. If not for someone checking their watch we might all still be there!

Your new hookers seem to be doing a bang up job - and they seem to be enjoying themselves. The photos gave me a chuckle. We had a newbie at our group today, and of course discussed different types of backing, hooks, cutters and frames. I told everyone my first frame was a picture frame that I thumb tacked the backing onto. I didn't realize anyone still used that method. Memories!!!
