I have just returned from my second Sulky Teacher Certification Class – what fun! This was a perfect diversion in the midst of a challenging week – first we were “all shook up” by the earthquake and then we watched as the tree limbs fell and the rains blew sideways when Irene passed by! As soon as I re-organize my sewing room and unpack my sewing gear from the trip, I will start working on the tips and tricks I can’t wait to share. I have new products to try and new techniques with which to experiment – all to enhance my teaching skills. I can’t wait to go to the drawing room and dream up new designs and ways to use all this new found knowledge. I will be adding some stabilizer tips to my website by the end of the week. Thanks for the many letters of interest I have been receiving via my web page. I’m glad there are others as enthusiastic about sewing and needlework as I.
