Ac Cent Tchu Ate the Positive Enrichment Programs

Ac Cent Tchu Ate the Positive Enrichment Programs Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive offers Ballroom, Latin, and Swing Dance lessons, Writers' Workshops, Canvas Paint Nights, Quilting Classes and Piano Lessons.

Ac Cent Tchu Ate the Positive Enrichment Programs began as an offshoot of Six Chimneys & A Dream B&B, run by owner/operator Juli Pruden in NH. Juli has taught Ballroom, Latin, and Swing Dance for over 18 years, and expanded the offerings to other adult enrichment programs while running the B&B from 2006-2014. Juli has been a pianist from the age of 4 yrs and began teaching at the age of 15, getti

ng her start with the Baldwin Piano Company's program for nursery school aged children. She also pursued a Master's degree in Literacy with an emphasis in ESL (and while not completed, due to a happy career change, her writing pursuits and teaching writing grew out of that study.) Juli also began quilting in 2000, and has made a number of items for gift giving, personal use, sales in her gift shop in NH at the B&B, and commissioned items too. She loves the fun of choosing fabrics to create unique, one of a kind "masterpieces." She enjoyed hosting quilters' retreat weekends at the B&B and is happy now to bring her enjoyment and skillset to Williamsburg. Hurricane Matthew dictated a welcome relocation to Williamsburg from a year spent in SC, and Juli is happy to realize the expansion of her vision in her new home in VA.

I will be honest: I love the creative aspect of putting together a project. For instance, I love piecing quilting projects and seeing how the colors and shapes come together. It's finishing them, the actual quilting and binding that I don't love. I appreciate the finished results certainly and even the progress, but it's not as much fun as the creation for me.

So, I am pleased to say that I addressed one of my UFO's (unfinished fabric objects, for the uninitiated) while visiting with my mom on Hilton Head this past week, especially as it was a gift for her. I did all the quilting on my old machine. I am grateful to the quilt shop there Island Quilters, Hilton Head and its owner Beth, for graciously allowing me to borrow a rotary cutter and cutting mat to trim the wall hanging and the binding strips. I couldn't have finished without their help while on the island! Please check them out if you are visiting the area. My mom is better at hand sewing than I (and she is retired), so she will finish the binding, and the gift will be in its new home in Arizona. :)

While there, I also worked to wrap up a canvas painting I had been stuck on, and I rescued a stranded turtle. Developed and published several dance classes and the start of summer dance workshops as well--it was a busy week "off." 😉

We had a wonderful time on Wednesday making the Christmas Baskets Table Runner. It's always amazing when you see what we start with and its metamorphosis into a beautiful finished piece! Cindy gained practice with half-square triangles and also learned how to do the setting triangles.

We had a small but mighty group kick off the quilting workshops on Saturday afternoon at Two Rivers Quilting. These ladies did a super job, and Gail was the first to finish so we used her runner for the group pics. Martha then went on after the workshop and quilted her table runner so I'm anxious to see the finished product. 😁 It was a great way to spend an afternoon, with something beautiful and decorative to take away from it! We look forward to doing it again, and hope you'll join us next time!! It will be a seasonal table runner which will look fantastic for Thanksgiving. Follow the posts at Ac Cent Tchu Ate the Positive Enrichment Programs for full details on this and other upcoming workshops. (p.s. Thanks, Gail, for the homemade chocolate chip cookies--they were yummy!)
