Thank you Giveaway(s)

I want to thank everyone who recently bought Craftsy classes through my affiliate link.  Several of you took advantage of the great sale they were having on their classes.  I did too!  I picked up a few classes about sewing garments since I know absolutely nothing about doing that.

As a thank you, I am hosting a little giveaway!

While on vacation, I got to meet the lovely Jennifer from The Knotted Thread.  Jennifer runs an Etsy shop by the same name and has a bunch of fun items, including a "Pick Any 6 Fat Quarters" from her inventory.


Create your own bundle - Choose 6 FQs or 1.5 yard Equivalent

***This giveaway is now closed***

I am going to give away one of these bundles to TWO winners!  (That's one bundle each to 2 people.)  To win, just leave me a comment about which Craftsy class is your favorite and why. Or if you haven't taken a Craftsy class yet, tell me which one you are most interested in and what technique you hope to learn from it.  That's it, just a comment.  No follow me, like me, join me, just a comment answering the question.  I will draw the winners next Saturday, August 10th.  International friends are welcome to enter too.

Thank you again to everyone who bought classes, you made this giveaway possible.

Tomorrow I am off to the International Quilt Festival in Long Beach.  I have my camera all charged up and ready to take loads of pictures so I can resume my "Inspirational Sunday" posts.  Hooray!

Thanks for reading,

Jen

    I plan on making myself quite a bit of clothing as soon as I have my baby and I should probably take one of the classes since I have no idea what I'm in for :). Thanks for a chance to win a great build your own bundle!

    I have bought loads of Craftsy classes. Love Jacquie Gering's class Improvisational Piecing- Modern Design, Elizabeth Fransson's Inspired Modern Quilts, and Angela Walters FMQ Negative Space. I find them full of useful info and it's just like you are getting a one on one tutorial.

    I have not taken any classes on Craftsy, but would love to take a class on free motion quilting. I need to learn how to do it better on my domestic sewing machine.

  27. MargaretAugust 3, 2013 at 5:57 PM

    I am a Craftsy addict I have to confess. I have all the quilting classes except maybe 6. They are on my list. Peggy Martin quick strip paper piecing and Leah Days quilting a sampler are two of my favorit I think. It is so hard to pick. I love to learn and have learned so much from every class that I have taken. I try to do at least one project from each class. I loved the precut piecing and Nancy Smith strip your stash. Ann Pederson is great too. O I just cant pick.

    I Love Craftsy, and it is nearly impossible for me to pick a favorite one. I have several quilting and sewing classes. I enjoyed Sarah Fielke's class, Big Techniques from Small Scraps was so very useful and informative. I also am making my own handbag and someday will make jeans, but because it is the height of tomato season, and I have never been successful with tomato growing before my Craftsy class Garden Fresh, for today I will say this is my favorite.

    I love Camille Roskelley's Pre-Cut Piecing class. I have just started so I know I am going to learn a lot of good techniques! I so love the Craftsy forum! I have taken advantage of several other classes and love them all!

    I am really enjoying Crochet Lab... I haven't crocheted in decades and I bought this one during their last sale. So much faster to pick it up again via video than trying read instructions!

    I have taken several Craftsy classes...some free, some not, but my favorite is still Amy Gibson's 2013 Craftsy BOM. I really enjoyed the pace of the class and checking in each month for a new block/project. With many of the classes I have purchased, I find that I do not finish the course or I don't go back to the course as much as I did with Amy. Thanks for asking and for the giveaway.

    I really loved Cindy Needham's Design It, Quilt It Class. For a beginning quilter like me it was so informative. She gave me great ideas and the confidence to just "do it".
