It has been a little over 6 months since my first Craftsy class, Mastering Foundation Paper Piecing<\/strong><\/em>, went live. Since then, I have had some major revelations about teaching foundation paper piecing on line through Craftsy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My first revelation is the outreach this format offers. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect 6,447 students to sign up in the first few months the class went live. But they did and they continue to sign up.<\/p>\n

My second revelation is the relatively few number of questions asked by the students. I think that is a testament to the quality of the video and the content of the classes.<\/p>\n

My third revelation is the amount of positive feedback I would receive from those taking the class. As an instructor, that is so gratifying!<\/p>\n

My fourth revelation is how well all the students are doing. Again, I think that is a testament to the quality of the product.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \"\"<\/p>\n

This is FranApple’s first attempt and I think she did great. Then Gico took her block and made a 4-block rotation and added borders for a charming little quilt.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \"\"<\/p>\n

This is Angel66’s Sunflower Fun project. Sometimes, one student sharing her project inspires another student. Quiltingmeemaw2 2 wrote, “Love it. I haven’t so far been able to conquer paper piecing. Have taken many classes Maybe learning this on line will be my answer. I love your color, also. Your sunflower is STUNNING !!” And Angel responded with encouragement, “Thanks so much. Carol is very good and provides lots of tips I didn’t get from local teachers. Hope you enjoy the class as much as I did, Angie” So, like in real life, the online students becomes a community. Quiltfabrications turned the Sunflower into a Daisy and shared her exquisite quilting.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \"\"<\/p>\n

Others tackle projects that they didn’t think they could achieve like Kuby who created a really pretty little quilt using the Starlight Project. Lkeene’s fabric approach was completely different.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \"\"<\/p>\n

Suzibud’s Mariner’s Compass Star turned out stunning. Abudhabiquilter, expanded her block using the free border inside the Carol Doak Legal Size Foundation Paper.<\/p>\n

Once students achieved paper piecing success, then they began to expand and share even more projects.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Jeannie shared her beautiful Tennessee Star from the 50 Fabulous Paper-Pieced Stars book<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

I love the fact that this format offers me the opportunity to share the knowledge I have with quilters around the world and help them achieve the success they desire when paper piecing and make it fun!<\/p>\n

If you would like to join in the fun, here is a link that will give you 50% off the cost of the class making it a super value<\/strong>!!<\/p>\n
