Hand Work Sew Along
Syllabus
During the quarantine of the last years, when I couldn’t make it to the sewing
room or wanted to spend time with my family but needed my hands to be busy, I
discovered English Paper Piecing (EPP). This has been a revelation to me as I hate
any form of hand sewing, I never hand sew binding unless I have to, my hand
embroidery looks like a kindergartener’s drawing and I have big hands! After my
first project I was hooked and found a new love for hand sewing and now I am
working on a whole quilt project. I love having a project to work on when I can’t
be in my sewing room or watching the Kansas City Chiefs with my husband.
When I told the ladies at the Bee, they extended my enthusiasm for this new craft
by suggesting this would be a perfect opportunity for the newly opened Design
Center! So, ladies and gents are you ready for some good conversation, a bit of
coffee and tea drinking and a lot of EPP or any other hand sewing project! Once a
month we will have a sew along for hand sewing, bring your projects and we can
ooh and aww over them, get new ideas and turn those projects into finished ones.

| Instructor: | Christy Riblett |
| Instructor Bio: | My passion for sewing and quilting started after an 8th grade Home Ec class. I loved it so much that I spent hours in the local fabric store planning my next project which led the owner to offering me a summer job. Throughout the years I have honed my skills be taking classes from various teachers around the area. I myself have taught preschool and kindergarten for 15 years and several levels of bible classes for 30 years. I love meeting a young person that just got their first sewing machine and leading them through this wonderful craft. Recently I purchased a midarm and quilting frame and my learning curve took another steep climb! My day isn't complete if I haven't made it to my sewing room. Sewing has given me much joy and peace walking through the different paths of my life. |
