Do you know what’s been my biggest challenge as a quilting teacher? Pacing. Since I began teaching online quilting classes in 2012, I’ve received so much great feedback about the quality of my content, as far as my communication style, tutorials and enticing projects. What’s been all over the board is the feedback on pacing.

And it’s no surprise - we all have such different needs. Some of us have a lot of time to sew; some very little. Some of us need more time to practice and process, when everything is new, and others are refining skills so that it’s easy to zoom along. Some of us work best under tighter deadlines, where others of us like the time to slow down and stretch out.

I got so excited after our chat in November, because I realized I could deliver my upcoming Angled class in a self-paced format!!! If you had stopped by that next evening, you would have found me curled up with my journal making a complex diagram for how this would work. Hehe! I do like a challenge.

Self-Paced Delivery!

Well, friends, it does. It works! I’ve divided my upcoming Angled class into three main sections and then further into bite sized PDF’s. When the class releases, you’ll receive an email that starts the customization process. As you go along, you’ll continue making decisions that affect the pace of the content email-delivery schedule. There’s even options for changing your mind! I’m super excited (did I say that?).

Are you an eager beaver? You can speed along at 4 lessons a week and complete Angled in just 7 weeks. Maybe 1-2 lessons a week sounds more doable? In that case, Angled provides 4 months of bite-sized learning. Or, maybe you prefer to make all the projects, say about 1 quilt per month? You can stretch this class a mighty 6 months!

At the end of the course, you’ll still receive Angled as a comprehensive 228 page PDF coursebook. That’s the format that will make the most sense for your permanent library.

To celebrate, I’ve opened registration for Angled Class today. Your purchase will hold your spot for the January 1st release. On the first, you’ll receive your first email and start in on this quilty Choose Your Own Adventure.

Angled Course Description

I love angles, with their movement and personality and endless fascinating combinations. Getting to know them can be tricky, intimidating even. But the results are impressive! And freeing too. How many gorgeous classic quilts include angles? So many! With curiosity, time and much experimenting, I've come to know them well and to also understand how to include them in my quilt designs. I'm eager to share this with you!

I've designed this new online course for the confident beginner or intermediate quilter. Prerequisites are basic cutting and piecing skills, with experience sewing rectangles, squares and rows. The class has 3 main elements:

{Piecing Skills} learn to accurately piece ANY angle, from classics like the diamond to compound angular blocks, and truly any random triangle shape
{Design Skills} understand how to incorporate equilateral triangles, diamonds, half square triangles and flying geese into your own original quilts
{Scrappy Skills} enjoy using triangular scraps from our projects in playful, liberated quilt blocks

This is a class for all quilters.

It's for developing quilters, ready to stretch their wings beyond the basics. It's for more experienced quilters, interested in expressing themselves in original designs or curious about liberated piecing. It's for all lovers of traditional quilt blocks, young and old. And I hope it will be for you!

Angled Includes

5 original quilt patterns (4 throw quilts, 1 queen-sized quilt)
5 liberated, scrap-utilizing blocks
Design/sewing labs for Equilateral Triangles, Diamonds, Flying Geese, Half Square Triangles and Multi-Angle blocks
Delivered in bite-sized PDF’s via customizable schedule
Delivered as a comprehensive 228 page PDF Coursebook for your permanent library
