Not Miss Muffet’s Tuffet

Have I mentioned lately how much I like to take classes? I love taking classes. My latest was at Creations, a wonderful quilt fabric shop in Kerrville, Texas. I made a tuffet! There were 14 students and we all finished in plenty of time. I was fretting some on the second day of class, as I am a somewhat slow sewist. I also made lots of mistakes and had to do some tasks more than once. But I made it!

I had all my batik fabric strips cut and ready to go before the class started. Then I walked into Creations, saw their tuffet made with Australian fabrics and I knew I wanted to make one of those! And I did!

That means I still have all my batik fabrics already cut, ready to make another one, right? I’m thinking about it, yes, I am.

All 14 beautiful tuffets!

If I could have taken someone else’s tuffet home with me, it would have been the polka dot tuffet.

So fun!

So fun!

My online sketch and watercolor class is over, so I’m heading off on my own. I bought a box of 50 Strathmore watercolor cards.

Now that I see it online, it doesn’t look dark enough in the lower left area. Somehow I haven’t learned to see those types of details until I post it to my blog. This was the first watercolor card I mailed. One down, 49 to go.
