    I regularly offer online classes in areas of design, hand embroidery and crazy quilting.

    I limit the number of student in my classes. If you are interested in a class not currently on offer please contact me to go on a waiting list.

    This is how they work online.  

    All my classes are 6 weeks long and there is a lesson per week. 

    There are two major components of online classes, the lessons themselves, and the discussion list which is a Yahoo email group. When you buy the class you will be invited to join the group.  

    The lessons are the guts of the class. The first lesson will be released on the start date of the class and a lesson per week is released after that. The lessons are an Adobe PDF document which are held in the files area of the Yahoo group. Students download the file, print it out and work through the lesson and use the discussion group to ask questions.   

    There is a one lesson per week. I have designed all my lessons so that people can work at them as much or as little as they choose. Some people have more time to put into them others do not. I understand this, for this reason they are self paced.

    The yahoo email group is where all class communication takes place. Since students are from all around the globe time zones do not allow real time chat but you can post messages which will be delivered as email to all class members.

    The advantage to using a yahoo group is that all the class discussion can be delivered to your email box. Not only that but students have a choice about how they want their class discussion to be delivered. Students can receive all class chat by email single message at a time, or they can set their membership to to Daily Digest and receive it all in one message each day. Or if students dont want all this chatter in their email they can elect to set their group membership to web only viewing. This means they can visit the yahoo class group website to read the messages. 

    I check the class discussion daily and answer questions, join in on the chat and we generally have a good time.

    Students can upload images of their work online in the photo area of the yahoo class group, so I can give them feedback. Participation in the email discussion is totally voluntary but I think this is the fun part of the process as it is where students get feed back from me, bounce ideas off each other and share the pleasure in learning a new skill.

    Classes are paid for by Paypal and are priced in US dollars. 

    If you have questions email me via the contact button on the top menu bar.

    Introduction to Silk Ribbon Embroidery (no longer available) 

    DateSunday, August 15, 2010 at 1:58PM | AuthorSharon B | Comment6 Comments | | Print ArticlePrint Article |

    This course will no longer run but in the future if I  have enough inquiries  this may be offered as a set of patterns and ebook  



    People generally have on of two responses, to Silk Ribbon Embroidery. It is either "I could never do that" or "I don’t have the time to do that." But with a bit of practice anyone can work with silk ribbon to produce wonderful embroidery and it is amazingly quick to work a design.



    This course is designed for absolute beginners to silk ribbon embroidery. In the 6 weeks we will be covering all the basics from needle types to how to work ribbon stitches into attractive designs.

    I have designed 6 floral motifs. It is anticipated that students will work a design a week and learn how to stitch it. The process is phototgraphed in a step by step manner and directions assume no prior knowledge.



    Students are free to work these designs on anything they choose. What the designs are applied to, is completely left up to the student. Students can use these designs on projects such as small bags, clothing, etc. Crazy quilters are free to and encouraged to use these designs on their current projects and crazy quilting blocks.

    Please note: to my regular students this is NOT a design based course but a project based course which aims to teach people the basics of silk ribbon embroidery not how to design.
