This is my Paper Snowflake BOM done in Solid Rainbow Colors
Earlier this month we had our second class of the Paper Snowflakes Block of the Month (BOM). This is a Block of the Month designed to explore a variety of foundation paper piecing techniques. The students are doing a great job with their blocks and we set up a Show and Share Saturday Board.

It was fun to see the different color combinations that were chosen. And the students did a great job, I can't wait to see what they share next month!
We have been holding the class in the new Rooster Creek Event Center. Mike and Teresa Cuno have done a wonderful job in providing all that we need to have a successful class.
It is a lovely classroom to teach in. Today I am prepping for next month's BOM. This is the third block used to create a pillow.

Has anyone created extra blocks for other projects?
This past month I was so excited to be a part of a special project with Rooster Creek Quilting! Mike and Teresa Cuno approached me to be a part of their new quilting program, Rooster Creek Quilting, I didn't hesitate to say, "Yes!"
It was fun to plan and discuss our vision for this new and exciting program. Our goal is to create a show that allows the viewers to look in on quilters discussing and sharing techniques they have found to be effective in their quilting projects. Thus promoting our love of quilting and our favorite techniques.
The first program is sharing hints and tips to foundation paper piecing or commonly referred to as "paper piecing".
Both Teresa and I love the accuracy that you can get when paper piecing, and the variety of projects you can accomplish with it. In fact, we had so much information to share, it will be a two part program.
So whether you are a newbie to quilting or an expert, take a moment and watch our new quilting program!
Be sure to like and subscribe to the channel to keep up with our new quilting adventure!
This month I just started my Paper Snowflakes BOM, at Rooster Creek that focuses on foundation paper piecing and using a variety of techniques each month. If you are interested, contact Rooster Creek at www.RoosterCreekQuilting.com.
Also, in my Linda B Creative Facebook Groupwe are working through our first Sew-Along for 2019 which is a Foundation Paper Pieced Pincushion. Be sure to join in the group and get in on the fun!
I know I have said it before, but I have the best students!
They encourage me to be a better teacher. This year in my Quilting Quickies class, I had taught a basic Dresden plate class.
I created additional samples to inspire them. They were so inspired that we have been meeting once a month to create a new Dresden plate block for a total of 12 different blocks.
We just finished block 11--The Big Split, and have only one more block left!
I want to send a big shout out to all that continued on this Dancing With the Dresden Plate Block of the Month journey with me, it has been a blast!
Today I am preparing for my next Dancing with the Dresden Plate class.
We have been completing a variety of different types of Dresden Plate blocks, getting the full use of our wedge acrylic rulers. The next session is the "Big Split". This is an easier way to piece and finish the block, so we are going to spice things up a bit by using different center shapes!
Test out some different centers!
Looking forward to seeing what direction my students will take, Linda
