The Academy is my go to place for learning new techniques and I constantly refer back to it for tips. As a beginner I did the Magic Stashbuster Quilt and learnt so much that now I can look at quilts and recognise blocks that we have done. With the confidence that it gave me, I have even created a pattern of my own!
