The title of the class was "A Celebration of Color and Flowers." It was a new class I had planned and I wasn't sure how it would go. I had a schedule in my mind and goals on what I would teach the students but so much of throwing a class like this depends on the individual students. I was so pleased with how they responded to my ideas.
We began with a color exercise that everyone had lots of fun with. We all plucked flowers from the garden and brought them back inside.


Here are some more of the student colorways. This is an easy exercise to do but also very enlightening and a visual learning experience that everyone understands and learns from.

The rest of the afternoon was spent knitting and crocheting and creating individual flowers inspired by the student's choices from the garden. By the end of the afternoon, everyone had finished their flowers. Here they are all laid out and ready for felting. Some of the flowers were brought from home as "homework." The students were provided with Olympia's Felted Flower Pattern and asked to do as much as they could depending on their schedule and life.

It was finally time to stop work for the evening. The Farmer arrived with the tractor and haywagon and we all climbed aboard. Here's the view from the top of the hill where you can see forever.


Then we stopped at the blueberry field to see how the low bush berries grow.
