I am not Miss Muffet, but I am making a tuffet. As I mentioned, I have wanted to make one for a long time. I took the class at Scruffy Quilts and had a great time. The teacher, Robin Koenig, of West Coast Tuffets, was excellent. She was funny and helpful and engaging. She didn’t patronize us and she wasn’t a ditz.
The class is four hours, 2 sessions. The first session was last Thursday. We had to cut strips in advance (or buy a jelly roll), so we were ready to make the pattern and sew when we got to class. The patterns were a bit of a pain to make, but Robin had the templates ready, so we had to trace and cut. I was able to sew two sections out of eight, an accomplishment of which I was very pleased.
I got so much done, because I used 3″ strips, which meant that each section only required 4 strips. My fellow students used jelly roll strips and their sections required at least 6 strips per section so they had a lot more work to do.
The next class is in two weeks. I need to have all eight sections finished. I also want to make the button that covers the center.
I can’t wait to go back!
I hope you can bring this to show and tell when finished! !
I live to show things at BAMQG!!! Of course, I will bring it!
Great fabric choices! Looks good so far…using wider pieces was a brilliant move! I agree with Cheryl; hoping you’ll bring it to show ‘n tell!
Thanks! September meeting! I will definitely bring it.
My daughter really wants a tuffet. But where would she put it on the boat? Love your fabrics and look forward to seeing the finished product.
It is versatile, because you can use it for a footstool!
Ooooh, exciting! My friend made one for her doggie, it looks soooooo good! I can’t wait to see yours, I know I’ll like it! 🙂
I have also wanted to make one of these for a long time and am really pleased to be doing so. I’ll be sure and show it.
Jaye,
A friend of mine just sent me the link to your blog post. Wow….that made my day!
Thanks for your kind words…..and I didn’t even have to pay you very much 😉
See you Thursday. Can’t wait to see your cover!
Robin
