Link to the Basic Supply List
You WILL be required to get your own supplies to complete the about 8 x 10 size block.
Basic CQ supplies include silk ribbon, pearl cotton threads, tiny beads,
etc. as the photo above indicates. None of these are in large quantity
for a single block.
You will be required to use a quilting hoop (Q-snap is fine).
You WILL be required to access the private class blog (upon an
invitation sent to you) and post photos of your work as you progress
through the class.
If you are interested in taking this course, please email me at shaw.kathy@yahoo.com and provide me this information:
Your first name
Your last name
You country of residence
Your state of residence IF you live in the USA
The email address you wish me to send class instructional handouts to.
After you register, I will send you a Welcome
Email and Google/Blogger will send you (at my request) an Invitation to
join the Class Blog where the class will be held. Watch for BOTH of
these emails, check your spam folder. If you do not receive by Monday
morning, email me to let me know.
This is an ON-LINE internet class.
You will need to follow some simple instructions
to register and gain access to the private class blog. Your name and
email will need to be entered; but NO social security or credit card
information is required. Just basic information to "recognize" you as a
class participant.
Since the class blog is Hosted on a Blogger platform...it does work best with a G-Mail Email address...but others have also worked just fine. If you do not have gmail, it is possible that you could need to set up a temporary account...just to get on the blog. I can still use your "normal" email to send you homework assignments.
You will need to be able to take PHOTOS of your
work, and UPLOAD them to the class blog. You will get instructions on
"blogging" so don't worry if you don't currently do that now; you will
learn.
But, you DO NEED to have an operating camera and be able to take photos, AND save them to your computer. So, you do need a basic understanding of how to save these photos and then retrieve those picture file for uploading.
If you take photos with an Iphone, Ipad, etc. then search for the free APP by Blogger...it has helped many students with fast uploading directly from their device to the class blog. I do not personally have any of these Apple devices...so am not much help at solving those "techie" problems.
NOTE: You will be given class handouts/instruction in the form of emails and pdf documents.
The pdf files can be opened with Adobe Reader (free software on the Adobe.com site)
You need to be able to open these handouts/instructions and save them.
You can also print as you desire. In total, the
course contains over 200 pages of information...so paper/printer will
be required if you want to retain a hard copy of this information.
Hugs, and I hope to see you in the class!
