Online Quilt Classes http://www.iquilt.com/
Shared by one of our members
A great
website -AQS, Online
Quilt Classes - iquilt.com that has a number of online courses that have already been rated by
reviewers. The courses are relatively inexpensive, about $20 US if you
are a member or $25US if you are not. There are good descriptions of each
course, and you can buy the DVD instead if you want to. There is a nice
variety of courses too. I am planning on taking the Sashiko course over
the winter and likely one by Katie P-M. I think some guild members might
be interested in these courses too.

Poppy Machine Quilting Tutorial
Lori Kennedy has on her website an excellent tutorial with plenty of pictures showing how to machine quilt a poppy.
Here is a link to her website. I have also included the images and steps below (her website allows this as long as we show attribution). Enjoy!
THE POPPY-A MACHINE QUILTING TUTORIAL
Begin by stitching the edge of one of the petals–a short line. (NOTE-since this is a background fill or allover motif–we are not starting in the center.)
