    Default Am I a Craftsy addict?

    I love Craftsy almost as much as I love Jenny and her tutorials. I have already completed 24 Craftsy classes. They are having a flash sale this weekend and there is a new Craftsy class for the Asteria quilt pattern.

    My budget is, as always, woefully overdrawn.

    But, but, I need, this class, I want this class.

    I need 10 enablers to tell me it is okay to buy this class. Doesn't this class look amazing?

    Sorry, I won't enable you on this one! I did a class using a pattern from the company that designed that quilt and it was one of the worse patterns I have ever worked with!!!

    I am no help at all. I signed up for 4 classes today. I have about 60 plus classes in the last 3 years. I have learned so much from every class including Jennys. I go back to them often just as I do to Jennys tutorials. I say go for it.

    It would have to be marked lower than $25 to make me even consider it.

    Every class I have purchased was either free, or cost up to 24.99 with the majority being under 19.99 I always grabbed classes when they had the 9.99 sales which was quite a number of them a year or two ago. So, I certainly agree, I am not paying those higher prices, that is crazy.

    Thanks for posting this right away! I went and looked and was very tempted now I can feel better about saying no!

    Thanks for the dose of reality. I really mean it. I knew I was in trouble when I felt my heart rate go up. Sometimes I get so excited about quilting I just loose my common sense.

    It is a new class and it will be on sale for a better price at a later date. I have tons of patterns already I can make.

    I need to get back to budget.

    Thanks for some honest feedback. I am pledging in writing to stay strong and buy no more Craftsy classes, patterns, or books until I am back on budget. (Yes I notice I didn't pledge not to buy more fabric, but I am a hopeless fabric addict.)

    With a little study - I imagine the amazing minds of this community could extrapolate the different blocks from this quilt. It is pretty - and a lot of its prettiness is not from the complexity of the piecing but the fabric selection and layout of the blocks themselves. I may see if I can replicate it using EQ7 and mock it up.

    Then again I see half rectangle triangles and I'm not sure I wanna get into any project with more of those (rofl). My storm at sea is disabusing me of them completely XD

    It's only $10 off which means you will pay $25 on an overdrawn budget. I'd say wait for a better sale at least.
    When I looked at the individual components in the quick video there was nothing you couldn't figure out with the help of yotube or your friends here.

    Oh, Denise, I understand the temptation. But, I cannot afford to enable you no matter how much you want this. I could not live with myself. LOL
