Well I started a new Rosalie Quinlan embroidery class earlier this month and have been busy working on that project PLUS I am still committed to the Gail Pan SAL for my last project due next week (could be a little late...oops) PLUS still attending classes for my Heirloom Quilt Blocks PLUS now I have enrolled with Kathy from Shawkl for a Crazy Quilt Beginners Class (I think I might be crazy too)
This is an on-line class over approx 5-6 weeks working at your own pace. We will learn how to design and piece a crazy quilt block plus all the embellishments. I am especially looking forward to the Silk Ribbon Embroidery as I have never done this before.
Here is the block that we are all working towards making. Its absolutely beautiful and I cant wait to start embroidering mine.

Everyone is working at their own pace and there is no pressure to keep up.
Its a credit to Kathy as she has over 70 students this time and everything is so organised and professional. I can tell she has done this many times before.
After the beginners class is complete, you can then progress to an intermediate class where we learn even more.
Take a look at the blog, you might want to join up next time.
I'll post each stage of my lesson so you can see how I'm going.

Dear Dawn,
sounds you are having fun. Looking forward to your progress.
Greetings,

Your crazy block looks lovely - I was disappointed I missed out as I got my registration dates confused - perhaps the next time around.. There are quite a few groups around on the internet that are crazy based... Yes I agree Kathy seems to be one organised lady as she also heads up the CQJ site each year - http://cqjp2014.blogspot.com.au/ Now there is lots of great crazy bling to catch your eye... I look forward to watching your progress...
