perfect for me
I have been learning to quilt for about 2 years. However, the traditional quilts do not fit into my own decor. I am inspired by Elizabeth's teaching, style of quilting, color theory and inspiring small projects. Really helps to have small projects that are fun and challenging. Just starting my second one and looking forward to cutting the fabric.
Very Inspirational !
Thank you so much Elizabeth ! You inspired me and let me know that in quilting it is ok to just free form cut , improv and go with what feels right to you. You are one of my favorite quilt designers/makers and an excellent instructor. I would highly recommend this class. Hope to see you do more classes in the future.
Inspirational!
I'm as new a quilter as you can get, I am at the moment just learning techniques and have yet to actually finish any particular project. However, I cannot wait to get started on some of these (and actually finish!). Beautiful projects clearly explained. I love that the videos can be watched over and over again, and the video notes are awesome. Now, all that's left before I get started is some awesome fabric!
Jam packed with great instruction!
Excellent class covers so much and Elizabeth is a very clear and talented teacher. I thoroughly enjoyed all the exercises and feel they really improved my techniques and added to my understanding of the design process. I recommend this class wholeheartedly for any style of quilter.
