“Very good teacher. Clear presentation of some complicated material.
Questions were always answered promptly.
I think Dena does an extremely good job of teaching
the concrete parts and encouraging students
to let their inner artists come out and play.”
Darned Quilts, a wonderful, fun way to learn about the importance of color and value contrast in quilt design while you make original quilt art, has been scheduled to open again at Quilt University soon.
This online quilt design workshop presents raw edge piecing as a construction technique that makes it possible to create a composition from a single piece of cloth. Learn more about the class here and find additional details at Quilt U.

thanks dena i will check it out.i had in mind a business idea of making reusable diapers so that we can save the environment from the flush able diapers.one of the materials needed in making the soak er pads is the microfiber terry or the blue berry for absorbing all the wetness all giving the baby that dry feel.i have not tried this before though i have searched on the internet and its widely used in America and Europe.i think this can be a good source of income for me.what do you think dena
You know, diapers started out being disposable, but they were made from natural self-destructing materials. Then, with the advent of woven cotton, they became reusable. More recent inventions resulted in new, more sanitary disposals that are a disaster in the environment. Your thought to return to reusable diapers is a good one, but how will you convince harried young mothers to take the time to launder them? Not everyone has a housegirl and no one wants to mess with dirty diapers!
You ask my advice, and my advice is that you check out the market for your proposed product before you go into production. It would be all too easy to invest a lot of time and money into this project, only to find that you cannot convince mothers to make the sacrifices needed to revert to reusable diapers. The one factor that would possibly work in your favor is the expense of disposables.
Take your time and think it through. If you decide to go ahead, good luck!!
