When the CQ Adventure in Glastonbury was cancelled, I pouted all day! If I were anywhere near your area, I'd have signed up for ALL your classes. I'm glad I can take online classes, but they're no substitute for the real thing. Sorry yours didn't pan out.Arlene Dellorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06077411606585700138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-223393909446478851.post-51761095810911478192011-10-06T03:46:34.795-07:002011-10-06T03:46:34.795-07:00I'm sure glad you are posting every day this m...I'm sure glad you are posting every day this month. My morning blog reading was pretty short while all of you were at the retreat.<br /><br />I have a couple of my art quilts on display at the library for Art Week here. I don't have any cq pieces that I could take up but maybe you can find more places to display yours. I have seen paintings in restaurants, maybe in some office or professional buildings. Although it must be disappointing that your classes didn't happen, maybe you could look on it as an opportunity to take some time for your projects. I love your pumpkin :)Marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05744022499786263474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-223393909446478851.post-9164616742341679912011-10-05T15:17:33.337-07:002011-10-05T15:17:33.337-07:00OK, just lost my comments; let me try again! What...OK, just lost my comments; let me try again! What about a CQ class with the Calgary and Edmonton embroiderer's guilds? These people already know how to stitch; maybe they just need/want a push towards CQ. Maybe Olds Fibre Potpourri weekend. I believe the Calgary guild is organizing it this year. Good luck.

On the second point, I really think you ...Hi Kerry,<br />On the second point, I really think you aught to blow your own trumpet!!<br /><br />I have never done CQ but your blog is so inspirational that I know that if I lived near you, I would jump at the chance of taking a class with you.<br /><br />So ..... would flyers mentioning what you are offering and mentioning your blog be something to consider? If people even vaguely interested in sewing come and look round your blog, I think they would really consider a class with you.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10565138584945080707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-223393909446478851.post-56569441852529730672011-10-05T10:34:52.189-07:002011-10-05T10:34:52.189-07:00Hi Kerry,I'm not the typical "teacher&quo...Hi Kerry,I'm not the typical "teacher". I love CQ and want others to learn and enjoy it as I do however when I don't want a "job" so I allow students to come to me when they are interested and don't really promote my classes much, if at all so I'm probably no help at all but I think you should relax and make kits, plan lessons and so on while you are waiting for students. I have a ball when I teach, and so far, everyone I've taught in my home studio has left happy and charged up to CQ. I just had a cancellation and I felt relief because I've felt like I have no time to just play. If you need to teach for income, I would suggest joining your local art center. I know I could have classes all the time there but, I don't want to. I know that sounds bad, but I am just playing it through comfortably. If someone wants a class, they know they can request one almost anytime with me. Hang in there and enjoy your time off.<br />Hugs,PatPat Winter Gatheringshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13059339623003211397noreply@blogger.com
