My teaching at Empty Spools in 2022 is over. I taught two sessions back to back this year, so yesterday I said goodbye to my second class of Asilomar students. As I travel home from California to Maine, I thought you might enjoy another round of posts dedicated to Empty Spools. Last week we revisited the 2016 sessions. This week we go back to 2019, the last year I taught before the COVID pandemic, which was intended by Laurie Mutalipassi, who started the red panda above.
Each session in 2019, has its own link below, so be sure to visit both to get a feel for the quilts that were started in this class. This Saturday in your regular post, we’ll feature the finished version of some of the quilts (including Laurie’s panda) you’ll see in these posts in a special Susan Carlson Fabric Collage Finish Line: Empty Spools 2019. And be sure to check out the Finish Line Quilts from Empty Spools 2016 here.
If you have a finished quilt from one of these Empty Spools sessions (or any class, for that matter), please submit them using the link below.
