First Thoughts and Pictures after a Quilting Bee

Tomorrow when I have more writing time, I'll write more about the Quilting Bee I arranged for Spartanburg Methodist College on Monday.

I planned to set up in the classroom that is mine for much of Monday, but I couldn't do much advance set up, because of a class in the room.  

At first, it felt like chaos; I didn't expect so many people to come at 10.  But the pictures taken by my dean reassure me that it wasn't as chaotic as it seemed.

After some instruction, students got to do some knotting.

They also had access to my fabric bin, in case they wanted to make their own projects.

Here's a supply table:

I also set up a slide show (which you can view here), but not many people watched it.

All in all, it was a good day.  

I didn't have a break for lunch, and there weren't times when the room was empty except for me.  But that was good too. 

My take-away:  more students were interested than I thought might be.  It was a great change of pace, and students asked me to do it again.
