Online learning has many advantages for me, the difficulty of traveling being one of the most trying. On my own time is of equal importance. That teachers of your caliber are available now for online classes is the deciding factor for me!Turtlemoonimpressionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01178649128269650377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-4316416086266796092015-02-04T10:21:23.204-08:002015-02-04T10:21:23.204-08:00yes I'll be offering the Master class again in...yes I'll be offering the Master class again in 2016...if you're interested just email me for details elizabethmasterclass at gmail dot com .....and if you think it sounds good I can put you on the waiting list and be in touch in December.<br /><br />The master class is geared towards the more experienced art quilter; it's not about techniques, it's about design and evaluation and improving. It's a great group!

I am sorry about QSDS dropping in popularity as it was great in the day.<br /><br />I find most online classes, suck as Craftsy, are geared toward beginners.<br />I would enjoy the stimulation of experienced art quilterspam in sw floridahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03913110832531591664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-48637446811208543872015-02-03T07:45:31.928-08:002015-02-03T07:45:31.928-08:00As a veteran of both in person workshops and onlin...As a veteran of both in person workshops and online classes, I was interested to learn that the in person, 3 to 5 day, workshops aren't as popular as they once were. One factor may simply be the proliferation of such workshops, often in hard to reach locations. My one extravagence is Empty Spools this year, but it's a costly undertaking with airfare, room and board, etc. This is simply not doable for quilters who work and have limited budgets. And having taken classes on platforms like Craftsy, I can tell you they fit the time and $ budget a lot better. I can re-watch segments, ask questions, interact with other students, etc. I realize that such formats lend themselves better to specific techniques rather than broadly creative development. However, I know even the latter is possible online, having taken one of your Academy of Quilting classes.

Now with the change to my life online classes are probably the only option for me so I am glad to see more online offerings. I would have loved to have taken your Master Class but my life is currently in turmoil but I'm hoping you will be offering it again. I am hearing wonderful things about it.Kathie Briggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10831217624573697507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-30802273427048497492015-02-03T05:48:29.136-08:002015-02-03T05:48:29.136-08:00Well said Elizabeth.
