\"\"<\/a>I have just finished my proposal for my five Shuttlebirds<\/a> classes and sent it in for approval. \u00c2\u00a0This is definitely the earliest I’ve ever gotten it in. \u00c2\u00a0I like the new set-up with the application form. \u00c2\u00a0Even though it was more to fill out than we’ve had in the past, having it broken down into smaller chucks got me to go through it a lot faster. \u00c2\u00a0And \u00c2\u00a0it helped that I’ve been collecting class ideas over the last year and still have about 13 on the list for next year. \u00c2\u00a0So strange to think that two years ago I was struggling to come up with a 5th class idea.<\/p>\n

Since I already mentioned 3 of the 5 in my last post I’ll tell you about the other two here.<\/p>\n

The first is a class on working with size 3 thread. \u00c2\u00a0Lizbeth is coming out with their size 3 thread mid-November and I am so excited about this it’s ridiculous. \u00c2\u00a0I’m not sure if my boyfriend is amused by how excited I am or a little worried. \u00c2\u00a0I’ve done a number of projects with size 3 thread and really like it, but there’s just been no high quality thread in that size. \u00c2\u00a0The best I’ve been able to find on a regular basis was Royal (even that wasn’t very good) and when they stopped making it a year or so ago I decided to hold off on buying any replacement until I could find a good quality one. \u00c2\u00a0Just a few months later Lizbeth made their announcement and I’ve been impatiently waiting for the fall. \u00c2\u00a0Size 3 in the colors and quality of Lizbeth. \u00c2\u00a0How can anyone not be excited? \u00c2\u00a0Mid-November! \u00c2\u00a0Just a month away!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Ok… Deep breaths…<\/p>\n

The class will be focused around making a decorative tatted belt and attaching it to a ribbon that will tie in the back. \u00c2\u00a0We won’t finish the belt in class, but we’ll get it started and get one of the two ribbons sewn on to the tatting. \u00c2\u00a0In the process we’ll go over tips and techniques for working with really big thread. \u00c2\u00a0I haven’t made any new belts for a while so I’ll have to take a look at what I’ve got. \u00c2\u00a0Of course there were all made with Royal thread and so have been starting to pill and get fuzzy so I suppose I’ll have tat up a couple of new, nicer looking ones before April. \u00c2\u00a0Guess I just don’t have any choice but to stock up on the new thread next month when it comes out. \u00c2\u00a0Got to be ready for Shuttlebirds!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>The last class is on the Catherine Wheel Join. \u00c2\u00a0Tess Moffatt taught this class at Wannatat in Spring and that’s how I finally got the hang of them. \u00c2\u00a0She had two snowflake motif patterns to choose from and passed out printouts of Jane Eborall’s instructions on the join. \u00c2\u00a0I always love Jane’s instructions and the diagrams she makes. \u00c2\u00a0Everything is always so clear. \u00c2\u00a0Tess and Jane have graciously given me permission to use their patterns and instruction sheets in the Shuttlebirds class so I have sneakily gotten my prep for one class finished already while simultaneously giving my students much better materials than I would ever come up with myself. \u00c2\u00a0Actually, that’s not quite true about the prep since I still need to make a couple of samples for the class. \u00c2\u00a0With all my other classes it’s usually the other way around. \u00c2\u00a0The samples are already made and I just have to figure out how to write up the instructions.<\/p>\n

Still lots to do, but I’m excited to be moving along with the classes! \u00c2\u00a0Hope to see many of you there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
