This week, I enjoyed traveling from Middle Tennessee to Mid-Eastern North Carolina. The Red Bud Trees, Bradford Pears, Saucer Magnolias, and Daffodils are in full bloom. What a beautiful and welcome sight! While losing an hour due to Daylight Savings added to losing another hour due to crossing time zones is not my favorite way to start a trip, I had a great time in Winston-Salem, NC this week. I attended a Tuffet SourceTM Affiliate Training Workshop, and boy was it fun!
I met with other Independent Teachers and Quilt Shop Owners, while learning all the ins and outs of Tuffet making, from the creator herself, Sharyn Cole. Somewhere between the great conversation, classes, food, and fun, we even managed to complete a few tuffets!
If you read my post last week, you might remember I bought the fabrics for the workshop, but second-guessed myself when I got there. I really didn't have time to shop before we started sewing, so I just sewed them up! And I'm so glad I did! The first tuffet is just a top right now, but after it was sewn together, I am really pleased with how the fabrics look together.
As I was packing for the trip, I also grabbed a few music fabrics from my stash and put them in the bag. With the purchases I made for the workshop, a few of those fabrics came together in perfect harmony to create this lovely tuffet.
The other thing I love about tuffets is how unique and individual they are. Just look at this sea of tuffets!
My additions this week were 4 fat eighths, which were part of my goodie bag at the workshop. Into my stash they go, as I look for the perfect place to use them.
That's about it for me and the past week. I did manage to use some, but I have more work to do to get back in the black. I'm hoping that will happen this week, as I will be home with the boys while they are on Spring Break. Can I finish one of my quilts this week? We shall see!

Beautiful tuffets. My granddaughter moved to Clarksville, Tennessee in February. We were suppose to drive that way for Easter break but our schedule became so busy that it would have been a very short trip. Possibly when we do make it that way, I can get a visit in with you.
ReplyDeleteThat would be great Charlene. Just let me know when you are headed this way, and we can make arrangements. And if you granddaughter needs anything, just let me know.
