Speaking of Sally Collins, how long are we supposed to have access to her video? I've watched it several times already.

Hey there. I am completely going to shop my stash too. This one's for a refresher (I like the idea of adding some Sally Collins precision to this also) and a way to have some fun with you all, practice my quilting, and end up with a Linus quilt. I may actually try to quilt this with my Bernina 830 LE embroidery hoop, since I've wanted to do that and haven't yet and it came with such lovely quilting motifs.

Rita, I'm looking at the Laura Nownes class as no more than an hour per week (four squares), good learning of the basics for me since I skipped the basics and slugged along with the hard stuff a year and a half ago for fear of getting bored too quickly... (which in the end, slowed me down considerably ) I completely shopped my stash for this class, was bound not to purchase any more fabric and it will give me a practice top for quilting. To be frank, I watched Laura's video and compared it to the precision of Susan Collins' video and suspect I will be watching Laura and practicing Susan with this class. I have to get on with the spools too... I have my background fabric but I have no idea what design I'm going to do. Choices, choices... There is such a nice group forming up for this refresher class, it should be fun. See you "in class?"

Renata I just read through this thread and I must say that I was always re-inventing the wheel with any quilting I did before TQS. I am amazed at how much I have learned in the past year and a quarter! I would like to do the Laura Nownes sampler too but I really feel that I should get going on my Spools quilt. (Still don't have a background fabric that I am happy with.) Guess I will end up doing both.

NO .... I just watched the shows that were opened and had posted... not the ones that have a later date scheduled.

I think they will get it fixed and ready for everyone.

Anna

Yes, the introduction and all of the "resource guide" videos are working and provide great info for newbies!
I was wondering if Anna had figured some way to view the videos that are scheduled to open later.
Lesson one (9-patch blocks) is open earlier than the posted date of July 31.

Margo, I was surprised too, but it's not the lessons that are opened up. It's all the additional videos about the stuff a beginner needs to know. I think Laura does a great job

I did try to watch the video last week but the link did not work for a basic membership; I posted a comment along with others and it appears that all those comments have been removed. The link did work tonite for a basic member as advertised in the email I received. I watched all the videos tonite and hopefully the future ones will work as well.

Anna, were you able to watch all the videos?

Watched it all last night


Nonnie

I look forward to starting this when I get back next week. I have some ideas about colors I might want to use, but won't pull fabrics until later. My color and fabric choices often change a lot along the way!

Nancy

The introductory ones are there now, quite a few of them and then the lessons seem to start on 31st.

The Laura Nownes videos are now available with the introductory information on the sampler we'll start next week.

Hooray! Looks like we are really going to have some fun.
