I’m at Craftsy This Week – New Class Coming Soon!

The last 2 weeks have been such a crazy busy time which is why I’ve been a little more quiet on the blog. I barely got back from QuiltCon just in time to prep for a few days and head off to Craftsy this week. So that’s why you haven’t seen a QuiltCon post or the last Squiggles QAL post on binding. But I promise those are coming, as soon as I get back!

Machine Quilting Elongated Swirls

Machine Quilting Detail on Craftsy Class Sample – More Info Coming Soon!

Above is a sneak peek of the quilt I’ve been working on, in between all of my other fun deadlines. It’s a new quilt I designed for my third Craftsy class that I’m filming this week. Without giving too much away yet, the new class I’m filming is a followup to Startup Library: Quilting and the focus will be on accurate cutting and piecing to help you improve your skills

Because you all know how much I love machine quilting, the class will even include a lesson on how to quilt one of my favorite motifs – elongated swirls (seen above). My #1 tip when learning how to free-motion quilt is to pick one design and quilt it allover the entire quilt. By the time you are done, you’ll be an expert at that design!!

Startup Library Craftsy Class by Christa Watson

Startup Library: Quilting is the comprehensive start-to-finish 6 hour class that was released last summer. It was my 2nd class with them filmed over 5 days.

And if you didn’t hear the news yet – Craftsy is offering a special this week to try out their new subscription service. From March 5-7, 2018 (Monday-Wed THIS week), you can try Craftsy Unlimited for just $1 for 2 weeks.

So click here to take advantage of this special offer and while you’re there, be sure check out my other two classes!

FYI – When you purchase a class “a la cart” under their traditional system, you own it forever. The subscription model allows you access to the entire class catalog as long as you stay subscribed. I think the subscription is a great way to sample classes on a regular basis, and then you can purchase those which you know you’ll want to refer back to time and time again.

The Quilter's Path by Christa Watson

The Quilter’s Path was my first Craftsy class which released just over a year ago. In this class I offer lots of machine quilting instruction and a free pattern to practice on. It’s also where I streamlined my idea of creating a quilting plan for every quilt.

Be sure and catch me on instagram this week @christaquilts where I’ll share daily updates on how Craftsy filming is going. I’m not sure of the release date yet, but it’s usually within a couple of months of filming, so the turnaround time is pretty quick. I’ll keep you posted!!
