I'm taking Kathy Shaw's Basic Crazy Quilting Class. It is a free online class, but you have to buy the supplies (pearl cotton, beads, silk ribbon, muslin, frame and neutral fabric for the background). I already have a boatload of a fabric, Q-snap frames, and beads, but I had to buy silk ribbon and pearl cotton. So far I have my basic block pieced, and I'm waiting for my pearl cotton to arrive in the mail.
I've been impressed with Kathy's instructions so far. They are super detailed! I am feeling a little constrained by some of the fabric and embroidery stitches, but this is a class, and I understand why everyone needs to do the same thing the same way. I feel like I've already learned a lot about design,

I'm looking forward to seeing how this comes along. I looked into the class and it seems very structured. Hopefully the restraints you feel at the moment are worth all the lessons you learn in the process - once you've learnt the basics you can let your creative side go wild! I noticed that you have to take this class if you want to take any others with her. Are you planning to take another one of her class after this?
What an interesting block thus far and I love your bricks and stepping stones quilt in the previous post; just gorgeous!
