With a group of quilters here for the Open Quilt Studio, along with Shawn Simmons’ Learn to Knit and Crochet class, a lot of stitching took place this past week and weekend. It was a great start to our season of classes!
One quilter brought an array of quilt tops to be made into baby quilts which will then be donated to charity. Hanging them on the fence by the barn created a great display.
With uninterrupted stitching time, a lot can be accomplished during an Open Quilt Studio. In addition, all types of fabric artwork and quilts are in progress during the week, and brought for show. You can’t help but be inspired!
There were a lot of basics to cover in the Learn to Knit and Crochet class, especially in a weekend. The students started with crochet, then moved on to knitting halfway through the class.
We hope time spent learning these new skills and stitches results in new fiber hobbies and brings many years of enjoyment!
A stitch in time…a moment in time at Sievers.
Wish I was there! Here’s hoping that I can again before the grim reaper comes to call!
My goodness, Becky, we hope so, too!!! Be well, Carolyn
Seeing all those happy faces makes my heart sing! Love seeing the Sievers class activities. Have a great season!
Love and hugs – Linda
Thanks, Linda! It was such a positive and fun start to the season! Hugs from all of us, Carolyn
So fun! Wonderful classmates and a really wonderful teacher. Always a joy to come to Sievers!
And a joy to have you here, Kathe! You make every class better, just by being part of it. See you again later this summer! Carolyn
We had a blast in our knitting and crocheting class. Sievers is first class! We also had a chance to explore beautiful Washington Island as well. Highly recommend for sure! 🙂
Wendy
We’re so glad it was a good experience Wendy! Your group really set the tone to start things off for us this summer. We can’t wait to see you back again sometime, and maybe for an extra day or two! Take care, Carolyn
Beautiful work. Knitting, and fiber work is a wonderful activity for handling stress (the silent enemy).
Hi Aina,
It’s always good to hear from you! We agree, fiber work takes you out of the “real world” for a while and is a great, meditative and calming practice for our bodies and minds. Hope all is well and we look forward to seeing you on the Island again sometime! Carolyn
Had a great time learning to knit and crochet, and Shawn is an excellent instructor. I loved learning about Sievers, exploring the campus, and meeting everyone. Hope to make it back for a class in the future. Thank you! 🙂
Thank you, Jen, for your kind words! It was a pleasure to have you in class and we would love to see you and your fellow knitters again! Carolyn
