Did you participate in the quilt block of the month course with Craftsy during 2012? I was new to sewing and you all know I LOVE Craftsy, so I did join up and watch several of the videos to learn more about quilting. At the time I decided quilting wasn't for me just yet – it seems to require a degree of accuracy in measuring, cutting and sewing that as a complete beginner I wasn't yet achieving But as soon as the 2013 course came out, I signed up again. A quilt is something I will certainly try this year.
The Quilt Block of the Month course is running for FREE again in 2013. I could tell you all about it, but it's easier to let the course speak for itself:
“The Craftsy Block of the Month is back and better than ever in 2013! Sew along with quilting legend Laura Nownes as she teaches you how to make 10 blocks of various sizes, including LeMoyne Star, Tumbling Blocks, Strippy Spools and Offset Log Cabins. You'll learn techniques such as 45-degree and 60-degree triangles, partial seams, Y-seam construction and curved piecing. In the fall, you'll learn two fun filler blocks, then assemble the quilt and finish with Laura's easy mitered binding.
Enroll FREE any time during the year and get instant access to all the lessons you've missed. As with all Craftsy courses, you can take the class at your own pace, and you get a great online community to share ideas with.“
I love that Craftsy offer so much for FREE. You can sign up at any time and get access to the lessons when you are ready, and make a new block each month, or save it for a project later in the year.
But what about the giveaway I hear you ask? I'm delighted to say that Craftsy have given me the opportunity to offer the complete project pack for the course as a prize to one of the lucky participants who sign up using the special link. $100 of Robert Kaufman quilting fabrics, including 33 great fabrics from Robert Kaufman's Spot On, Metro Living, Remix, Primatex Basics, and Kona cotton collections in a fantastic range of colors.

I can’t enter because I already signed up, but if anyone is holding off, consider this one more person who thinks the class is going to be worth watching.
Wow, I’d love to win! I’ve never done a block of the month…I’m a garment sewer, but I completed a jelly roll quilt top last weekend and it was fun
Good luck! I just popped over to your blog and saw all those photos of your stash – you go girl, I’m so jealous of all that great fabric. I’m following you in my reader.
I tried to click on the special link but it doesn’t work. What am I doing wrong?
Hi Lorette. Can you tell me where you clicked and what happened? I just clicked on the banner myself and it was working OK for me. You need to click on the picture of the lady at the bottom of the post, just above the words Good Luck.
Hi, there is no lady at the bottom of the post. The last paragraph ends with the ending date and Good Luck. Then it’s “you may also like”…
Hi Again,
That is so strange – I have no idea why you cannot see the banner. In any case, here is the direct link to sign up – http://goo.gl/qKQKK
Good luck
What happens if we are already signed up for the Craftsy BOM Class? We can’t enter to win?
Crafty says only for new signups – sorry. But you could sign up with a different email address 😉
