I definitely think I'm a candidate for a Crochet class. Below is a photo of my attempt at learning to crochet and make a wash cloth.
How sad is that? To me it looks like one of those dresses people up on their dish soap bottles. I was "trying" to make a dishcloth. Oh well...practice, practice, practice....LOL.
Smiles,

I am laughing with you....if you weren't so funny I would not be.
ReplyDeletei must be a class junkie
ReplyDeleteYep. Class junkie. I have 2 string patterns I use, and would love to learn others.
ReplyDeleteWell, I am not a class junkie but think that one might give me a much needed boost toward the sewing machine.
ReplyDeleteI have never taken one of these....could learn a lot!! lol
ReplyDeleteI would love to win this class--I love to make scrappy quilts, and string quilting is a very good way to use up those scraps. Hope I win. Thanks for the opportunity!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm probably classified as a class junkie. Seems like I'm always sorry if I miss a class or workshop, so I try and sign up for them all!
ReplyDeleteYou're getting there on your washcloth! Looks like you might be missing the last stitch in each row (it can be hard to see)...that's why the piece is tapered. I bet you could still wash dishes with it though! Keep practicing!
I'd love to take this class because I have a bunch of string pieces laying around and don't know what to do with them!
ReplyDeleteSandy A
Your crochet looks great to me. Didn't you plan it that way?
ReplyDeleteI think it is a great stress reducer. Keep at it!

I'd loVe to use more oF my scrAps up, and this would help make a dent. thanks.
ReplyDeleteI need to take a class to learn curve piecing.
ReplyDeleteFinish this one as one of those dollies dresses and start a new one! Looks to me as if you have been diminishing stitches without realizing... All will come with practice! (mind you, I sound as if I can crotched really well, I can't lol!!)
ReplyDeletethanks for the chance to win this class. Have lots of scraps so it would be great to do a string quilt!
I've never taken a class and would love to try one.
ReplyDeleteI've got a lot of strip scraps and need some new ideas!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win this. I've been saving strings lately, knowing they could be used, but not really knowing how. Figured I'd learn when I collected enough...
ReplyDeleteYour crochet attempt just cracked me up. It looks a lot better than mine. Made my first (and last) afghan and it has so many different rows that go in and out and in and out and are longer or shorter than others. But I kept it and it keeps me warm in the winter. It was supposed to be just one stitch done over and over and over. I can knit pretty well but not crochet which is a shame since my mom and grandmother both were excellent in this - with thread no less. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWould love to do a class like this. I have a bin full of scraps just waiting for things to do with them......
ReplyDeleteI've only make square blocks using string piecing so would love to learn other things.
ReplyDeleteI am fairly new to quilting so I love to learn as much as I can. This is a great way to use up scraps too. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to take the class because I haven't done much string piecing and I'm sure there's a lot for me to learn. Thanks a bunch!
ReplyDeleteI would love to take this class. I am in the process of moving my sewing room and am running across so many scraps. Thank you for letting one of us have a chance at winning this string piecing class.
ReplyDeleteI would love this classes. Thanks for the chance to win it.
ReplyDeletePick me! Pick me! I could really use this class!
ReplyDeleteString piecing is so much fun! I'd love to view their "take" on it. I have quilt blocks pieced using this method that my Mother started when I was a teen, and you know how long ago that was! I must finish it. It's one of my many UFO's. I'd love to try a batik using one of the new methods.
ReplyDeleteI have tons of scrap fabric; I think this class is just what I need!
ReplyDeleteThe class would definately help me since I am Kinda a newbie to quilting, thanks.
