Leila, at Sewn blog, is hostessing a skill builder course. There's always more to learn, right?
Here's a list of what she will be covering, as quoted from her site:
"Here is the outline for Skill Builder Sampler:
June:
Skills: Cutting, ¼ inch seam allowance and value.
Blocks: Log Cabin and Around the World
July: Half Square Triangles and Quarter Square Triangles
August: Flying Geese
September: Wonky Blocks
October: Foundation Piecing
November: Paper Piecing
December: Raw Edge and Needle Turn Applique
January: Curves
February: Improvisational Blocks
March: Working with odd shapes (tumblers, hexagons, apple cores)
April: Inset Seams
May: “There's no way I can sew that block!!!” - but you totally can because we now have the Skillz.
(we will also learn how to draft and use templates - those skill will be used in multiple months)
The first three weeks of each month we will make blocks based on that set of skills and the forth week will be a catch up week. Everyone who is caught up at the end of the month will be entered in a drawing for a special prize. (Probably fabric, because everyone Loves fabric, right?)
By the end of the year you will have 36 twelve inch blocks you can make into a queen sized quilt or you can divide them up and make several smaller quilts. But more importantly, you will have the skills and the confidence to tackle any quilting project you can dream up. Priceless. "
I think I'm pretty good at most of the skills, but curves??? Improv??? I will be following along. There's always new things to learn, LOL! I've put a link on my sidebar.
