| Good Morning. I would like to share my first attempt at clock making. Quilters Quest, in Woodridge, Illinois was holding a class to make a clock. Well that was right up my alley. I love to try fun new things that especially are not going to take forever to make. Over two class sessions I made this cute little clock. Our teacher was Julie Blazek. Julie was a great teacher and so willing to share tips and tricks on how to make a great clock. There were 5 ladies in our class, so a lot of one on one attention. Julie had all the supplies for the actually clock, and we just had to supply our creativity. Our first week was creating our fabric for the face of our clock. Hexagons in various sizes were used. We could also make our clock in one of two sizes. I chose the smaller clock. On our second week, We were putting our clocks together. This lady used the larger hexagons for the face. Julie provided the boards for the back and all of the clock parts I was amazed how easy it was. transferred on to the fabric. Each clock looked so different. The big excitement was that they all worked. Julie gave us a great source for the clock parts. She and her husband worked together to create the backs. Julie uses her expertise in coming up with some wonderful ideas of what to do for the face of the clocks. |
How about this gray clock. The heart in the middle is woven fabric and reverse applique was and blanket stitching was used to complete it.
| How about a quilt all done in redwork? |
| This is the smaller version, which intrigued me. She used buttons to spot the hours. |
| Here are the other samples that Julie made to showcase the class. She even had the instructions to make the pendulum and the ribbon detail on the top. |
| How about yo yo's. Needless to say, I have a few parts purchased, now to get to work on another clock. What will it be? We all had a fun time, and as I said, Julie was a great teacher. Have a great sewing weekend. Mary |
