FREE Online Course: 12 part – Quilt Block of the Month
Craftsy is offering a FREE class: Block of the Month, a year-long online class instructed by expert quilter, Amy Gibson. There are 12 installments, each one posted on the first day of every month. At the end of the class, our students will have full-size and one-of-a-kind quilts. Like all of Craftsy’s classes, students can view it whenever it’s convenient for them, and can watch them however many times they’d like. It’s filmed in high-definition, and it’s fully interactive—students can ask Amy questions as they go.
If you can’t make it to your local fabric store or yarn store to take classes, Craftsy seems like a really great way to go. Check out what some of their students say about them:
