Posh Pocket Class And Visitors...

Apologies for a blurry photo. Laughing + iPhone = fuzzy pic.

 Two happy students created their own Posh Pockets (formerly

"Fancy Vinyl Pockets" tutorial) in the class I taught at Crazy Quilters 

yesterday. We had a fun time and shared a lot of laughs along the way. 

They left with completed vinyl pockets and instructions to make more.

 I made one along with them and this is what I turned out.

Of course, it's a silly, corgi theme, using printed twill tape, an

 image I printed out on fabric, fancy yarn and metallic thread.

 This is the back of mine. The little blocks were done by a guild  member and included with a fabric offering on our "giveaway" table at the last meeting. I liked the gold floral design, and smiled  when I saw the two small blocks tucked between the fabric folds. This was the perfect opportunity to use them. I did change the name of this pocket for my class, so I went back to  this post and adopted it as the new name for the project. It appears in  my "BW Free Patterns/Tutorials" link in my menu bar.  Once you get the  hang of working with vinyl, you'll want to make a whole lot more.

 A nice ending to our evening was a visit from Domino's owner. He dropped off eight bottles of a lovely moscato wine to thank  me for keeping Domino safe when he ran away from home. I told him I was surprised that he remembered where we lived, but he said he wrote the house number down as soon as he went back inside after I returned his dog to him...and he'd kept my voice mail so he knew how to call ahead to ask to come over. Handsome and I got to meet his two daughters and girlfriend. Such lovely people. Thanks for the wine, Andre! We'll say a toast  to you and Domino when we put up our feet over the weekend.
