Lin sans l'Autre

2020 is around the corner

Hello,

What is your goal for 2020?

Let me tell you what I will be up to in 2020: My first online course DESIGNING A QUILT 101

For the past 12 weeks, I have been following an online course called Digital Course Academy organized by Amy Porterfield. I wanted to learn and understand the best way to present my workbook, that I have been working on for the past 5 years, into an online course. As I didn't want to do it without the proper tools, I decided to do it in a professional way.

My course is now ready, but first I have to share with you how my online course will be different from what you might think about a quilt online course might be. 

Designing a Quilt 101 is not a course to just teach you the patchwork technique but a journey to the pleasure of using shapes, the satisfaction of associating colors, the comfort of hand quilting, the achievement of making a quilt telling your story.

I did a Facebook Live about Telling a Story Quilt vs Antique Inspired Quilt, you can watch it on my Lin sans l'Autre facebook page.

I have prepared some other subjects to come on Facebook Live and Instagram Live:

• The 3 reasons shapes are the first thing to think about when starting a Quilt.
• The 3 color aspects to take into consideration when choosing fabric.
• The 3 advantages in using acrylic templates when cutting your fabric

In 2020 I have planned to do some live workshops, I will keep you in the loop about the dates and the subjects they will be about.

If there are subjects that you want me to talk about in depth, please don't hesitate to leave me a comment.

In order to receive my mails informing you about all these Facebook Lives or about the workshops coming in 2020 then please register to my Special People List by clicking here.

Have a nice week.

What is my motto?

Hello Everybody,

Do you have a motto?

I think that it is cool to have one, and mine is THINK IT MAKE IT LOVE IT, let me tell you how I came up with this:

As a designer there are 3 steps to follow.

Step 1. You need to create a design, therefore you need to imagine it, visualize it, draw it, conceive it. In other words: THINK IT

Step 2. You need to create a prototype, therefore you need the material, write down the technical instructions, have the project realized. In other words: MAKE IT

Step 3. You need to find a good use for the product that you created. Because we are in the quilt design, doesn't mean that we have to only make a quilt, it can be used for many other projects. In other words: USE IT, but as I found this word too strong, I decided to replace by LOVE IT

So there you go, those are the 3 steps to follow for a designer: THINK IT MAKE IT LOVE IT

And that is my motto, but if you are not sure what a motto is, it is a short sentence of phrase that has meaning for you, that you like to repeat to yourself to encourage you, to motivate you, to please you.

If you don't know where to get it from, then do like me, put down the 3 steps of something you are passionate about and bring them down to an easy phrase to remember.

Have a nice week.
