But with a good reason!
Craftsy had all their classes running for free all day today! There were a few I have been wanting to see but couldn’t spend the money on them and, well,
I just couldn’t pass up free now could I?
Hope you will forgive me. My new post will be published tomorrow!
Life on the Farmlet 
You are not alone. I caught a couple of classes while I was quilting, laptop on the table in front of me. I learned a couple of useful new things, so it’s all good.
Which classes? I watched these:
>>>Improvisational Piecing, Modern Design
with Jacquie Gering I really enjoy her classes!
AND
>>>Machine Quilting in Sections: Strategies for Any Quilt with Marti Michell. I have read how you do it on your blog and now the class has cemented the technique for me. I look forward to trying it now. 🙂
I watched Heritage Hand Quilting with Andi Pereja, and part of Pixelated Quilts with Caro Sheridan. I find it very hard to know in advance whether I’ll find a course useful, so much seems to be introduction, tools and things I’m not very interested in, and the actual meat of the business is quite a short segment in the middle. So these freebies were a great way to sample things I’m interested in.
“I find it very hard to know in advance whether I’ll find a course useful”
True! I watched a real dud yesterday, and I actually love the man’s quilting work and his quilt tour videos on Youtube. However, he is not teacher material.
I so agree. I often have high hopes, but so many video tutorials are just plain dull, with monotonous voices trotting out things I know like the back of my own hand as if they were precious gems of wisdom. I must be easily annoyed, I suppose!
LOL, you are not easily annoyed, you just have more skill on the back of your hand than most who watch these videos. Like the quilt as you go one I watched for instance. I knew much of what she had to teach because I picked it up from you. However, there were a few more techniques that she had in her video that helped to round out my gleaned knowledge… But personality is a plus in these vids. She was just a bit too saccharine for me.
Don’t you find they can be an unfortunate i mix of wooden and wordy? I often feel like saying “Just show me the technique/process/ (insert relevant issue), and stop yacking!”
YES!
Excused!
Thanks, Annie!
Sure, why not? If it’s free and has value then of course take advantage of what ever is of interest.
Free is GOOD, enjoy!: j
I did, Deb!
