ReplyDeleteNew things? I need to learn how to use GIMP. I need to build a proper website - all new stuff.

ReplyDeleteI'd definitely like to learn how to free motion quilt. I've told myself that I should master just regular quilting before moving on. I'm improving, so I'll get to it.
The new skill I've been wanting to learn is curved piecing. I bought a "Curvemaster" foot for my sewing machine and think I'm going to conquer this formerly scary task. It will open up a whole category of quilts I had never considered making!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the giveaway. Those designs and colors are fantastic.
wordygirl at earthlink dot net
I love your Bird themes!I wish I*d bought more of Tufted Tweets when they were available. I still have a little left, now I should learn to fussy cut with as little waste as possible. This new line would top the work beautifully. I'd like to learn to make OBW blocks as well.

ReplyDeleteAs I've given up my sewing machine for the time being in favor of traveling the world, I'd love to learn the art of the layover. Some people seem to be able to enjoy a whole city in a few hours, but I'm still scared to leave the airport for anything less than 12!
ReplyDeleteAnthony Bordain seems to do it well, so I think I need to start figuring it out too.
I should learn to use and understand my computer better to make these tasks painless :)
ReplyDeleteI want to stop being scared of curves because I'm sure they are not that hard to master !
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the raspberry/lime colorway (even though they are all gorgeous!)
Thanks !
I would love to learn two things, both how to make children's clothing and how to do free motion quilting.
ReplyDeleteI love the raspberry and lime. I am going to try making a rain coat out of the laminated cotton fabric. I have it cut out and am working up the courage to start sewing it. I don't want to mess up on fabric that cost $20 a yard.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to learn how to paper piece
ReplyDeleteI want to get better at quilting. I free-motion quilted once and found it easy, but I think my current (prehistoric) machine just won't tolerate it. I can't 'quilt as you go' to save my life. I can just about hand quilt, but it takes sooooooooooooo long! I love the raspberry and lime colourway. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous fabric! Generous giveaway, thanks for the chance to win! :)
ReplyDeleteI have an ever growing list of sewing related things I want to learn....seems the more I learn the more I realize I still need to learn! :)
I'd like to learn free-motion quilting, machine binding and and how to add elastic to waistbands using my serger....that's a start! :)
What fun fabrics. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI would like to try slalom. I watch my husband but would like to get behind the wheel myself one of these days.
Have to agree with another post above...curved piecing would be a great new skill.
ReplyDeleteI'm really hoping to get better at knitting and crochet (you know, making something more complex than a scarf). I know the basic stitches, so I'm pretty sure I can do it, but I get so confused at trying to decipher the patterns!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
I need to learn to prioritize my time so I have more time for quilting.
ReplyDeletethose are some great color ways!
ReplyDeletei'd like to learn how to sew zippers & bags/pouches.

ReplyDeleteI'd like to learn paper piecing.

Love these new colors - ALL OF THEM! I'd love to learn to crochet - keep seeing this wonderful crocheted trim on lovely prints and want to try myself.
ReplyDeleteI would like to try to make the New York Beauty block. I'm intimidated by the curves. Thanks for the opportunity to enter your wonderful giveaway!
ReplyDeleteFree motion quilting and/or paper piecing, definitely. I'm still stuck with squares/triangles and straight lines, haha! I've only been quilting for a year and a half, though, so I've got plenty of time. ;) Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI've recently taught myself how to knit and am advancing quickly -- knitted socks already! What I didn't know when I started was that many times a crocheted border is in order and I have not been able to teach myself how to crochet! Everyone says it's so easy, but I just don't get it. It feels so uncomfortable in my hands. Anyway, that's the skill I look forward to learning. Thanks! Victoria (vlsaustin at hotmail dot com)
ReplyDeleteI would love to do more free motion quilting :) And maybe start jumping with my pony. But I am so scared of it.

Thanks for the giveaway. I would like more info on paper piecing. What wonderful fabrics!!! happystitchermm@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI really like the fabric! I want to learn applique techniques (basic by machine) and I would like to do paper piecing. I've only made hexies :)
ReplyDeleteI would like to improve my maching quilting skills. Outside of sewing, I would like to learn to play the piano!
ReplyDeleteI want to try hexis, they look simple yet intimidating!
ReplyDeleteIt would take less time to write what I wouldn't want to learn! I've only been quilting since the fall, and I'd like to try my hand at applique and paper piecing, but I really want to get better at free-motion quilting.
ReplyDeleteI want to improve my free motion quilting techniques. Thanks for the chance to win.
