MARTHA PULLEN SCHOOL

May 10 - 13, 2006, Our first Martha Pullen School! And WOW! We had soooo much fun! The students were great! The educators were awesome!! The food was delicious:)

The first classroom. Were everyone got to use brand spanking new Designer SE's! The educator's name is Deb Zedziniak. They made a baby bib & a wedding handkerchief.

Linda is sewing ribbon to a piece of lace. Looks tedious!!

This is a classic moment at our Martha Pullen School. Deb would start explaining something, and the ladies would just start circling around, hanging on her every word. :)

The second classroom. Were the ladies got to use brand new Viking 936's. Their educator was Jody Hooker. They made a camisole, half slip, & lingerie bag. Susan is modeling her camisole for us.

I think this is so cute:) Joanne must be afraid that her serger is going to run away with her camisole. It didn't. And Joanne actually took that machine home with her.

Beverly was lucky enough to take the class, and it looks like she started running her ribbon through the bridging. (And thanks to our Martha Pullen School. I actually know what bridging is!)

Lunch time!!

Time for another trivia question! Can anyone tell us what this...."thing" is?

Ann got it right! The "thing" is an anti-thumb-sucker. Yeah, I was thinking, with that piece of metal, it differently would not take long. By the way, Ann's prize was a box of votives generously donated, by Susan, to our bag of giveaways.

On Sat, the ladies got a break! No more sewing. Just fun stuff! Show & tell!!

This is only a few of Deb & Jody's samples.

This is Debbies show & tell. The doll is an antique. The limbs are wooden. The joints are bendable. And I believe it has a porcelain face, and a leather body.

Joanne brought a doll also. And I'm pretty sure, Joanne made the doll herself.

Gail is our seasoned 'heirloomer'. She made this little dress.

Gail found this blouse rolled up around her husbands model train cars! Its practically falling apart at the seams.

Linda brought a several dresses along. She has this dresses sitting around her Victorian house.

Patricia bought this dress. I thought it was beautiful.

After show & tell. We had 'graduation'. All the ladies got their certificates signed by Deb & Jody. Hats off to Gerrianne, who survived the whole week while dealing with the death of her mother. She held up so well, I think, I would have cried the whole week. Gerrianne, you are in our prayers.

Miss Dixie was voted our best dressed. She came in every day dressed in these amazing suits. Which she made herself. This suit in paticular reminded me of Jackie Kennedy :)

Do any of you remember when Dorothys husband picked her up in a retro limo? Well on Sat. Mr. Mayer arrived to pick up Dorothy in a blue retro limo!

In his top hat and tux.
