Enjoy your class as many times as you want, whenever you want. Your access never expires.
Learn fun quilting techniques, make new friends and create a one-of-a-kind quilt with the FREE Craftsy Block of the Month! Each month, Amy Gibson will guide you through a specific quilting technique - half- and quarter-square triangles, appliqué, string quilting, paper piecing and more. Then she'll teach you two nifty 12-inch blocks using what you've learned. Some are brand-new designs, others fresh twists on traditional favorites. Along the way, you'll make 20 blocks from fat quarters, then assemble them into a throw-sized quilt.
Use Amy's selected fat quarters, Westminster Fabrics' contemporary FreeSpirit Boho, or choose favorites from your stash. It's a great class for experienced quilters, but jump right in if you have basic sewing skills and feel ready to tackle your first quilt!
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 your access never expires. Plus you get a great online community to share ideas with, and Amy at the ready to answer questions and help you along. We'd offer our 100 percent money-back guarantee, but we don't have to, because it's FREE!
Get ready for your next quilting adventure. Sign up for Craftsy's first-ever Block of the Month today!
A former fashion model booking agent, Amy Gibson launched Stitchery Dickory Dock "as an outlet for (her) fabric obsessions" while staying home with her daughters. A self-described craftaholic since childhood, Amy first learned to sew in 4-H. In junior high she joined a charity quilting group, People Comforters, which made quilts for deputy sheriffs to keep in their cruisers for victims of crimes and other traumatic events. She’s been pursuing quilting nirvana ever since.
Amy lives in Denver with her husband and two little girls, and has contributed to Moda Bakeshop, Pink Chalk Studio and Sew Mama Sew on Facebook. Keep up with her via her blog and on Twitter, Facebook or Flickr.

Very Pleasant May 18, 2012
I have so enjoyed Amy's presentations. She is easy to follow and enjoyable to listen too. Have just found this tutorial and have watched the entire episodes to date. Can't wait to get started, hope I'm now to late to catch up. Nice job

Great Class May 17, 2012
I am a new quilter and let me tell you, Amy has been able to teach me very simply. She is so easy to follow and so encouraging. Every one of my blocks has turned out and looks so professional. I would never hesitate to take another class from her. Thank you for offering this class
Great way to learn new skills! May 17, 2012
I have been very pleased with these monthly block lessons. Amy's instructions are always very clear and understandable. Although some of the methods are not new to me I appreciate hearing the little tips and suggestions that Amy includes. I find I'm always looking forward to the next project and I've been able to keep up pretty well despite working full time. Oh, and the price is right! Thank you Amy and Craftsy for this offering!
Review for Craftsy Block of the Month May 17, 2012
Love the classes, especially the instructor who makes learning fun....to be able to watch and then print for sewing later is wonderful....not to mention that this class is free! This is one of the best on line classes that I have ever taken. Thank you Craftsy!!

You are going to learn new ideas/techniques - might even stretch your learning curve! Amy is easy to listen to and is efficient with what she shows us - we don't watch every stitch being sewn. Thanks for the fun time!
the craftsy block of the month May 17, 2012
I have so enjoyed these classes as I am a new quilter a and this offer for a free class helped push me over to try it. I must say I am hooked. Overall Amy is a good instructor. She doesn't go too fast so I feel like I'm falling behind or too slow that I get bored. I love the shortcuts, I'm a shortcut sewer always looking for a way to shave time. the encouraging words of letting my imagination take over and have fun is just what I do.
the only thing I have found unhelpful is during the ...

Loving this! May 17, 2012
I have really enjoyed Amy's classes. Not having taken any classes before I needed to get some instruction and this is so perfect...I can take my class whenever I want to and repeat it as often as I want.
