Pillowcase Class

I had two students in the Pillowcase Class this morning.  The first thing I do in class is make a pillowcase as a demonstration.  Since Bill has a sock monkey collection, I decided to make him sock monkey pillowcases.

Each of the two students finished up two pillowcases.  Here are the first ones.

And the second ones.

After class I came home and worked on sourdough bread.  I bought sourdough starter from King Arthur Flour and this was the first time I actually was making something with it.  I was excited because the evening class had been cancelled since no one signed up.  I was ready for an evening in, having dinner with Bill and getting some quilting done. 

At 5:50, I got a call from the shop saying two students were there.  What!! They didn’t sign up for the class, they just showed up!  Of course, I had to go and teach again.  So much for the nice dinner.  I told Bill when to put the bread in the oven, grabbed a couple of chicken tenders that he was finished cooking and off I went.

If I had known I was going to teach again this evening, I wouldn’t have made both of the sock monkey pillowcases this morning.  Since I had to make another one tonight I made a Halloween one for Emilio.

One of the students liked the Halloween fabrics so she made two Halloween ones of her own.

The other student made a football one and then a floral one.

When I got home, we had sourdough bread and it was great!  I made two loaves so we will have more for sandwiches and toast.  Yummy!
