Student and Teacher

I've participated in two classes recently, one as a student and one as a teacher. Everyone can benefit from being a student, even the most talented and experienced of us. I was lucky enough to be able to take a Hardanger class from Marion Scoular. This was not sponsored by and group or chapter, we were just a group of ladies who wanted to learn headed by one very determined lady Kathie.

Marion is a fantastic teacher. She lead us through the steps of the piece giving us so many tips and techniques along the way.

  The main reason for me to take a class is to learn these little gems of knowledge from both the teacher and the other students. The lovely stitched pieces I come home with are a bonus!

 The second class was with the ladies of the Bella Vista EGA chapter. I had a wonderful trip to Arkansas and was spoiled absolutely rotten.

 We worked on two projects during the three days I was there; the Flowering Lotus Box and the intermediate level of the Interchangeable Diamonds.

 They will be able to work double cable stitches in their sleep after completing these pieces!

 As usual there were stitchers of all different skill levels.

 Teachers do expect to have students with different skill levels. Don't worry that you will fall behind. There are no prizes for the first one finished.

The best thing to do is to go to your class ready to learn and have fun!
