Head of the Class {My First Teaching Gig}

Last week, I taught my first quilting class! I taught "Introduction to Paper Piecing" at Capital Quilts in Gaithersburg, MD. I had eight students in my class and the vast majority had never done any paper piecing before!





Here are some of the finished blocks that my students made!


I'm also excited to share that I will be back to teach TWO paper piecing classes in April and May! I'll be teaching a second session of the beginner paper piecing class and an intermediate/advanced paper piecing class too! If you are local (or semi-local) to Gaithersburg, MD, I would love to have you in one of my classes!

    Congrats! Teaching is one of my favorite things. I like the way you started them on two useful, not intimidating blocks!

    Wonderful! I've been teaching classes for a few years now. It's always a bit scary running a new class for the first time - are my notes easy to follow? have I judged the pace of the class right? etc - but just great to see people learning a new skill and being so pleased with what they make. I'm always learning from my classes too :-)

    Congratulations! Paper piecing is something I had to learn from a person--reading tutorials didn't help me at all. A friend who loves paper piecing sat down with me and walked me through a block, including making all the easy mistakes. So glad you'll continue teaching paper piecing!
