Long Weekend Craftsy Sale

It's only been a few weeks since the last Craftsy sale, but there is another last minute one starting today. And since I last posted I've watched two more classes. Seriously, these are great for inspiration, not to mention technique!

My latest watch has been Sarah Fielke's

Big Techniques from Small Scraps

. Wow, Sarah is a great teacher! She breaks down seemingly scary concepts into very manageable skill building. I'm so happy to have watched this class. Her lesson on hand appliqué is perfect for me and my Alturas blocks. (I have a feeling you will really be able to tell the most recent ones from the earlier ones, thanks to Sarah!)

Big Craftsy Sale This Weekend.


It's the big Craftsy sale this weekend. You can get classes that normally sell for $40 for $20 or even $15! It's a great deal.

I've had a few Craftsy classes downloaded myself, but have never watched them. But in part of my efforts to move through this recent slump I decided to brush the lint off the laptop and watch some. Now why haven't I done that sooner?! The classes were inspiring for sure. So far I've watched Quilt As You Go Patchwork Bags and Improvisational Piecing and Modern Design. And I've already bought the supplies to make my own Tinkertote from the bag class. Considering I've never wanted to make a patchwork bag in my life, this is a very big deal!

One of my favourite things about the Craftsy classes in the focus on teaching technique. Even when there is a specific project the instructors are all about tips, shortcuts, and general guidance on technique. You can pick up so many neat tricks and insights. So, even if you are comfortable with the concepts taught in the class you will still pick up something new. It's pretty awesome.

So check out the classes on offer and pick up something on sale. Sale ends at Midnight on June 9.

Don't forget, you can always pick up my class - Inset and Applique Circles by Machine - while you're shopping.


Last Minute Shopping


Have you checked out Craftsy lately? They are constantly adding new classes. And man, there are some good ones right now! Seriously. (Beyond my class, of course.)

And, if you need to do any last minute shopping for yourself or a friend, there is a big sale on right now. I'm picking up a few cooking classes myself. And perhaps some garment sewing because that is a 2014 goal. Go check them out and grab yourself a treat!
